Ah, now with this graph, if you remove the black line and gray curve and look at the overall graph which continues left to right, do you notice the peaks in the 1000AD - 1500AD range and how very similar they are to recent years?

Yes, the period is known to scientists as the "Mediaval Warm Period."
But you can't just remove the black line, as that represents the entire instrumental temperature record (which shows temperatures for the past 150 years). And the instrumental record clearly shows that the modern warming period has been unprecedented for the last 2000 years of human history, even when you include the uncertainty ranges for the various different reconstructions shown in the graph..
