Why do they still call it the Dark Ages despite the wealth of recent evidence that it wasn't all that "dark?" I have to wonder how Stirling circa 600 would compare with - for the sake of argument - Kandahar today.

What wealth of evidence?

I believe it was called the Dark Ages because it was dark. I believe there were numerous celestial impact events that created a dust veil over the whole earth. Probably a terrible time on earth.
