"How did the loss of knowledge contribute to the time period known as the Dark Ages?"
I think that new powers rise up and attempt to destroy history because it's a way of belittling the people and their culture. Those kind of actions make the people afraid and more acceptant of the new rulers, because the rulers would prefer to brainwash the masses into thinking there was nothing before power came along. Keeping old traditions and old thinking will only spark hatred among the people, which can only lead to rebellion and being overthrown (any tyrant's worst nightmare). If you burn a nation's books you burn an entire nation's knowledge, and they have to begin from square one. If you keep the people's minds from progressing, they won't know any better than to agree to the government, no matter what it tells them to do. This is SO DANGEROUS, I can't even fathom it. I kinda want to puke from thinking about it. No wonder it was called the Great Interruption, because ruler after ruler would slow any kind of mental progress down to the speed of molasses.
