This period followed the Bronze Age collapse The Bronze Age collapse is the name given by those historians who see the transition in the Near East and Eastern Mediterranean from the Late Bronze Age to the Early Iron Age, as violent, sudden and culturally disruptive. The palace economies of the Aegean and Anatolia which characterised the Late Bronze Age were replaced, after a hiatus, by the in the Near East, and the century saw the Early Iron Age In archaeology, the Iron Age is the prehistoric period in any area during which cutting tools and weapons were mainly made of iron or steel. The adoption of this material coincided with other changes in society, including differing agricultural practices, religious beliefs and artistic styles take hold in the Near East. The Greek Dark Ages The Greek Dark Age or Ages are terms which have regularly been used to refer to the period of Greek history from the presumed Dorian invasion and end of the Mycenaean Palatial civilization around 1200 BC, to the first signs of the Greek city-states in the 9th century BC. These terms are gradually going out of use, since the former lack of which had come about in 1200 BC continued. The Neo-Assyrian Empire The Neo-Assyrian Empire was a period of Mesopotamian history which began in 934 BC and ended in 608 BC. During this period, Assyria assumed a position as possibly the most powerful nation on earth, and vying with Babylonia and other lesser powers for dominance of the region, though not until the reforms of Tiglath-Pileser III in the 8th century BC, is established towards the end of the century. In Iron Age India The Iron Age in the Indian subcontinent succeeds the Late Harappan culture, also known as the last phase of the Indus Valley Tradition. The main Iron Age archaeological cultures of India are the Painted Grey Ware culture (1100 to 350 BC) and the Northern Black Polished Ware (700 to 200 BC), the Vedic period The Vedic Period is the period during which the Vedas, the oldest sacred texts of the Indo-Aryans, were being composed. Scholars place the Vedic period in the second and first millennia BCE continuing up to the 6th century BCE based on literary evidence is ongoing. In China China is seen variously as an ancient civilization extending over a large area in East Asia, a nation and/or a multinational entity, the Zhou Dynasty The Zhou Dynasty followed the Shang Dynasty and was followed by the Qin Dynasty in China. The Zhou dynasty lasted longer than any other dynasty in Chinese history — though the actual political and military control of China by the dynasty only lasted during the Western Zhou. During the Zhou Dynasty, the use of iron was introduced to China, while is in power. The European Bronze Age The Bronze Age in Europe succeeds the Neolithic in the late 3rd millennium BC , and spans the entire 2nd millennium BC (Unetice culture, Urnfield culture, Tumulus culture, Terramare culture, Lusatian culture) in Northern Europe lasting until ca. 600 BC is ongoing (Urnfield culture The Urnfield culture was a late Bronze Age culture of central Europe. The name comes from the custom of cremating the dead and placing their ashes in urns which were then buried in fields. The Urnfield culture followed the Tumulus culture and was succeeded by the Hallstatt culture).

Why do Greek/Roman scholars have no manuscripts earlier than 11th - 16th century ? Are there earlier ones?
Q. If you look at the baseline Greek/Roman texts for the Loeb Classical Library (and other similar translation series like Oxford/Cambridge) for authors from the 4th Century BC through to 1st Century AD, there seem to be no early manuscripts in existence. The ones we have available all seem to be from the middle ages rather than the dark ages. What is the typical history behind what we have available, and why do there seem to be almost no manuscripts prior to the 10th Century?

A. The Western Roman Empire was overrun by the Goths, Huns, and Vandals, who were mostly illiterate barbarians. They had no use for the written word, so they burned libraries and monasteries, along with anything else they could not loot, or did not understand. The Eastern Roman Empire lasted much longer, and was conquered by the Turks who had a thriving culture of their own, and more respect for knowledge and learning. They preserved the written legacy of Greece and Rome. Western Europe began to "rediscover" the Greek and Roman works when the monks and scholars accompanying the Crusaders brought back what they found in the Middle East. This would have begun during the 11th century.
