"While the rest of Europe rusted away in the Dark Ages, the Celtic Fringe raised their use to a high art."

The Dark Ages was worldwide.

Certainly the Dark Ages were worldwide. Europe didn't escape, and while most of it rusted away, the Gaelic speakng people in the Celtic Fringe raised it's use to a high art.

Do you deny Europe had a Dark Age? Do you deny the pipe to be the most sublime instrument ever developed for the making of music?

"The Dark Ages was worldwide.""

I've read the opposite (albeit years and years ago), that the Middle East cities prospered during the "dark ages" and in Europe Moorish Spain did the same.

What have you read that contradicts that?
