Am într-un paragraf ambele formulări, cum aș putea să le diferențiez?

In the course of some research I came across a 2001 book called Second Messiah by Christopher Knight and
Robert Lomas. These authors paint a picture of the Catholic Church and its influence on Western civilization that could not be more wrong. They get away with it thanks to the strong prejudice against the Middle Ages, as well as an overall lack of knowledge of the period, that exists among the public. For example, we read: “The establishment of the Romanised Christian era marked the beginning of the Dark Ages: the period of Western history when the lights went out on all learning, and superstition replaced knowledge. It lasted until the power of the Roman Church was undermined by the Reformation.”

middle ages vs dark ages
they refer to the same period of history


Explanation:
This definition is still found in popular use, but increased recognition of the accomplishments of the Middle Ages has led to the label being restricted in application.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Nu știu dacă ați citit contextul și rugămintea mea? Aveam nevoie de o traducere pentru a le diferenția, nu de o explicație. Asta știam că e vorba de aceeași perioadă. Mulțumesc.

  -> Am citit si contextul si rugamintea. V-am dat link spre amandoua, si spre Evul Mediu si spre Evul Intunecat. Reiesea clar ca Evul Intunecat este o parte a Evului Mediu. In fine...
