THE DARK AGES clip 2- The History Channel. Premieres 3/4/07

After the fall of Rome and before the rebirth of the Renaissance, Europe survived six centuries of continental revolution characterized by famine, plague and bloodshed -- a time known as the Dark Ages. At its worst, life in the Dark Ages was miserable, brutish and — for the fortunate — short. But through the darkness shone scattered rays of light, men and women who tended the flame of progress while the world around them descended into chaos. Those points of light brought about the footprint of modern Europe both politically and culturally. The two-hour special THE DARK AGES explores the unprecedented period spanning the fall of Rome and Europe's "medieval awakening."

THE DARK AGES premieres Sunday, March 4th at 9 p.m. ET/PT on The History Channel®.

fuckin clip too short..

The Romans bought nothing but a oppression to European societies, the Gauls, Celts and Germanic Tribes alike all had very sophisticated social systems and their own beliefs, then along come the Romans thinking they new best and fucked it all up! People often knock the British empire for it's slave trade and colonialism, but if you ask me if it wasn't for the Romans the Briton peoples would have had no concept of colonialisation, the Romans did it first and they have nothing to be proud of.
