The Dark Ages were also called the
Migration Period. Is history rhyming?
The period erroneously called the Dark ages was not “also called the Migration period” — the Migration period coincided with the first half, but was not fully coinciding.
The migration period technically started back in 300 BC with the Celtic groups migrating south and east - like the Gallic sack of Rome, the Galatians advancing into Rome and setting up their kingdom in Galatia.
The Germanic peoples were moving south from the Jutland area starting from the 100s AD and that continued until technically the Viking period (8th century).
The Magyar came in the 9th century — the Avars, Bulgars preceded them.
The Migration period didn’t prompt the Middle Ages as much as the islamic conquests did
