The Worst Volcanic Eruption In History | History Labs: Catastrophe (PART TWO) | Earth Stories

In 536 AD, the world witnessed a devastating volcanic eruption. We now know it was equivalent to 10,000 Hiroshimas. In part two of History Labs: Catastrophe, author and archaeologist David Keys investigates the far-reaching consequences of the volcanic eruption, discovering that the dust cloud thrown up by the eruption caused wide-scale cooling. Forensic science can now reveal that one consequence of this was the escalation of bubonic plague.
