The Dark Ages were the years from around 500 CE to around 1500 CE. This period is referred to as the "Dark Ages" because Western Europe was not advancing in architecture, philosophy, mathematics, or any other learning. The Byzantine Empire (the Eastern Roman Empire) flourished for another 1,000 years after the Fall of Rome. Other parts of the world were also making great advances during this time. Answer these questions after watching John Green's video. 1. What is Euro-centrism? 2. While Europe was operating under feudalism, what was happening in the Islamic empire during the same time? Baghdad was not "dark" during this time, what advances were happening? 3. What was happening in China during the Tang dynasty during this time? Below, watch the Crash Course video on Islam.

Is this Alexander's tomb?!It now appears likely that Ptolemy adapted a vacant tomb that had been prepared by and for the last native Pharaoh of Egypt, Nectanebo II. However, this Pharaoh had fled south to Ethiopia, when Egypt had been invaded by the Persians in 343BC, so he never had the opportunity to occupy his tomb. The site of the prospective tomb was a chapel within the temple complex of the Serapeum in the cemetery area of ancient Memphis at Saqqara. It lay at the end of a mile-long avenue of sphinxes. The Serapeum complex was rediscovered by Auguste Mariette in 1850-1851 by excavating the sands away from the sphinxes one by one. Guarding the entrance to the chapel of Nectanebo II, Mariette discovered an incongruous semicircle of life-size Greek statues of poets and philosophers, which appear to date to the time of Ptolemy. Some of them can be identified, including Pindar, whose house and descendants Alexander had saved at Thebes, Homer, who was Alexander's favourite poet, and Plato, who had been the mentor of Alexander's tutor, Aristotle. Could these statues have been erected to honour Alexander's tomb?
