The "Dark Ages" are a complete myth and Europeans were far more technologically, culturally, and economically advanced and prolific than Native Americans in the Early Middle Ages, in spite of deurbanization and the other recessions of the time period.

I think you are greatly exaggerating an argument that merely attacks a strawperson: That everything was bad, etc. in the Dark Ages. The world isn't as simple as the strawperson, but the Dark Ages were pretty dark compared to ancient Rome before and, of course, the Englightenment that followed (in which, by a broader definition, we still live).

Could you share some source to support that, where people can read more?

The argument posited was that Europeans during the "Dark Ages" were inferior economically and culturally to the Native Americans. There's virtually no point in history in which this was true.

The Iron Age
Prolific Written Language
Interstate Commerce
Sophisticated Art, particularly music
Prolific Agrarian societies
Prolific complex architecture
That's just a few examples. There's no single source, it's self evident when surveying the Early Middle Ages.
