  MEDIEVAL WOMEN - Scriptorium: The six Ages of the World
For in the first age, Adam was on the sixth day formed from the earth his mother, without an earthly father; in the likeness of God: and in the last age of the world, by Christ born of an earthly mother, without an earthly father, man was re-formed to the same image of God.
To carry on the similitude, in the same age, from the side of Adam, who was the figure of Christ That was to come, Eve was formed; and, by the blood that flowed, together with the water of sanctification from the side of Christ, the Church was made.
Next, in the fourth age, the kingdom of David flourished in that earthly Jerusalem, prefiguring the kingdom of Christ and of the Church: for of his seed the same Christ was born, Who spiritually reigning in His Church, shall in due time gloriously crown her for her obedience.

 Sabbath
It is not by mistake that the ages which were brought to their end in the catastrophes of the Deluge, of the Confusion of Languages or of the Overturning of the Plain, are described in the book of Genesis: the time of Genesis or creation was not over until the Sabbath of the Universe arrived.
With the end of the world age simultaneous with the end of the Middle Kingdom and the Exodus, the Sabbath of the Universe should have begun.
Although after the beginning of the seventh age new world catastrophes disrupted the established order—in the eighth and seventh centuries before the present era—the idea of the Sabbath of the Universe was already so deeply rooted that the new world catastrophes were not counted, so as not to discredit the establishment of the Sabbath.

 Dark Ages at AllExperts
The term "Dark Ages" was also in use, but by the 18th century tended to be confined to the earlier part of this "medieval" period.
The Middle Ages were seen with romantic nostalgia as a period of social and environmental harmony and spiritual inspiration, in contrast to the excesses of the French Revolution and most of all to the environmental and social upheavals and sterile utilitarianism of the emerging industrial revolution.
While the classics programs remain strong, students of the Middle Ages are not nearly as common: for example the first medieval historian in the United States, Charles Haskins, was not recognized until the early 20th century, and the number of students of the Middle Ages remains to this day very small compared to the classics.

 The Ages of the World, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com
In this article, the term 'Ages of the World' refers to the phases into which tradition has divided the past of the human race (such as 'The Golden Age' or 'The Iron Age'), whereas by the expression 'Ages of Man' the phases of individual life (such as 'Childhood' and 'Old Age') are meant.
The Golden Age appears as a lost paradise which has been associated with the irretrievable reverie of Childhood: it is a state of innocence, purity, freedom, and simplicity, ruled by Justice and obviously permeated by the significance and beauty of the natural world.
In the Golden Age, the knowledge of man is one with his vision as the manifold impressions of the world are absorbed by simplicity and trust, both of which derive from innocence.
