The Dark Ages Torture Tools

The Dark Ages are also commonly referred to as the Medieval Times or Middle Ages. Nevertheless, many historians argue that the Dark Ages are only a part of the Medieval Times. Though this is in debate, the Dark Ages are more commonly just a synnonym of the previously given terms.

The Dark Ages are a 1,000 year period from the V century to the XV century. They are characterized because, supposedly, art and science did not flourish as much as in previous ages.

This is a misconception - there was art and there was science - probably even more than during older times. Nevertheless, during the Dark Ages, there was torture, war, plague and other bad situations which made the Medieval Times seem dark - and thus called the Dark Ages.
