Yet another masterful presentation. I am amazed at how much history Dr. Abramson can cover in 23 minutes!

Hi Henry - glad to see that you are well and doing well! You are certainly a long way from Iroquois Falls in more ways than one. Very interesting and focused talk. From a fellow “tourist.”

Hello, we are evaluating the history based on instant references which appear objective , imagine the point of view of the future civilization about our actual age , do you think it will call this age , a modern age?

some historian (can't remember who) explained it was called "Dark Ages" because there was so little documentation, no writings, very little information, lack of records, not so much because the quality of life. Might have been Francis Pryor. He doesn't think England was as bad during the dark ages, also called middle ages. We just don't have much data from that time.
