Not sure if I can think of many highlights for Christianity during the dark ages, it is all-round depressing, with perhaps Ireland and the Eastern Roman Empires being partial exceptions, at least for a while.

High Middle Ages might be more to your liking. Return of Greek philosophy, creation of universities, lots of colourful clothing, nice music, beautiful churches. Not as grim and all ruins as in many movies/series, where they can't show the splendour because of budgets.
I'm a medieval nerd though!
But if you like polytheism.. then yeah, one has to get back further in time (Europe at least).
