In the "dark times", actually medieval times, they used the Pythagorean
tuning, in which the major third is even larger than in the equal
temperament. That third really is very dissonant!

The major third is a dissonance in equal temperament because it is way too big.
Even the perfect major third was considered to be an imperfect consonance in

Could you explain what you mean Ron, I don't understand this at all. Why do you
say the interval of a third is a dissonant interval?

3) It's not the g string on guitar that is the cause of the tuning
problem, stiff though it may be for nylon players. The culprit is the
b string, which is tuned at the interval of a third from the g string,
which is a dissonant interval.
