I wouldn't worry too much about 5th. century Europe. Seems to me the way things are going in Western Europe Western Europeans are going to be extinct.

Eh, well the past is interesting, at least.
It would be interesting to know what the common people thought of the ruins of Roman civilization a 100 years after it’s fall. Like wise with ancient Greece. If the average person even thought about them at all, that is. I imagine only the learned historical-minded class had an idea of what had gone on before them.
