It wasn't dark because nothing went on. It was dark because the people went back to, well, normal, and didn't record every skin tag their granny got. Much ofthe time, they were too busy surviving, and making war with their neighbors. The Romans were highly unusual, in how meticulously they documented everything they could.
As well, the Christians often forced old knowledge to be lost. There was much written that's only recently been discovered, or translated. There are many a bard's tale that have been found to have historical basis.
The conspiracy here should be the creation of the hubris-filled lazy modern mainstream archeology and anthropology, that like to make careers out of not letting the boat rock - we got it all figured out by the early 20th century, so stop looking into anomolies!
