      Thread on the "Dark Ages": "Modern" people: The Middle Ages had no science, just theology and doctrine! Someone in the late 1000s/early 1100s: I have been observing the yearly movement of the planets. Here are my observations (BL, MS Royal 13 A XI, f. 143v) #MedievalTwitterpic.twitter.com/ILBGNeYQDB

      "Modern" people: Medieval ppl thought the earth was flat and that you could sail off the edge of it. Medieval illustrator in 1464: The earth is a globe and which way is up depends on where you're standing. Ofc you can't fall off it. (Royal 19 A IX, f. 42) #MedievalTwitterpic.twitter.com/snGSPshByf

      "Modern" people: They were so superstitious! They thought eclipses were warnings sent by God! Author in 1464: This is how the shadow of the earth and the moon creates both lunar and solar eclipses. (BL, MS Royal 19 A IX f. 104, 106) #MedievalTwitterpic.twitter.com/SqcLneKeR6

      "Modern" people: They didn't understand the natural world. Medieval author in 1420: Here's a table of the upcoming eclipses. Author in the late 800s/early 900s: This is how the moon affects tides. (BL, MS Royal 17 A XVI f. 18; MS Harley 3017, f. 135) #MedievalTwitterpic.twitter.com/cMxDIloy4Z

      "Modern" people: Everyone stank in the Middle Ages bc they didn't bathe and all their teeth were rotten! Medieval person: What? Sorry, I was in the tub. My teeth are fine. We have a lower sugar diet than you. (BL, MS Additional 11619, f. 6v) #MedievalTwitterpic.twitter.com/4jUcyL5dhT

      God this idea that medieval people didn’t know what bathing or hygiene was is something that annoys the hell outta me.
