<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 3905564, member: 72790&quot;]Nothing can be known with absolute certitude. Much of what we commonly think of as known with absolute certitude is really known only with more or less probability. Is there proof positive (as in absolute certitude) that the Early Middle Ages (the Dark Ages) existed from its coinage. No, but there seems to be a good deal of coinage from the Barbarians through the Carolingians, the early Anglo-Saxon kingdoms, the Byzantine Empire and Eastern empires beyond those. The simplest explanation for this coinage (Ockham&#039;s razor) is there were civilizations from that time period who produced a surviving coinage. There are some folks who will refuse to accept any evidence for something that they choose not to believe in so the only way of putting it is that there exists evidence of civilizations from that time period and what is the most likely explanation for the coinage. What are the probabilities of some other explanation for all this numismatic evidence? A sinister plot? Aliens from another galaxy? Put the burden of proof on the deniers. How do they account for the extensive coinage?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
