Same with "pirates" or "medieval times" or "samurai japan." Our popular conceptions about a lot of time periods are heavily compressed and tropified. Yeah some of them technically lasted for hundreds of years but we just pretend that swashbucklers, armored knights, and ninjas (and cowboys) were all happening around the same time and remained as we depict them for the entirety of their existences.
