How This Mega Volcano Caused A Deadly Plague That Swept The Roman Empire

[@medicwebber3037]

This was a VERY well done documentary. Congratulations to David Keys for what must have been _years_ of hard work to come to such a comprehensive understanding of the global effects of 1 single event. Impressive work!

[@allangibson8494]

Except he was wrong. Krakatoa didn’t erupt in 535AD. Three different volcanoes in the eastern United States did however.

[@kathrynsmith3417]

Not well know in Med Science History - I knew working at NIH-Bethesda, MD at time of Mt. St. Helens' eruption - NIH sent medical research scientists to Mt. St. Helen's to investigate eruption's impact on med health. The eruption caused two new virus mutations researched & labeled in NIH research archives.

Why does a volcanic eruption trigger drought?

[@lynnmartinez5701]

Because the ash in the upper atmosphere blocks sunlight. Because of the reduced sunlight the earth cooled. Because of that there was less heat, the evaporation of the oceans was reduced. That meant less moisture in the air the create weather systems that cause rainfall. Less water vapor in the atmosphere means less rainfall on the ground.

There is more to this backstory that is not being said - about the REAL FALL and implosion of the Western European Roman Empire. In the 400s-600s, the massive population refugees that came INTO the European theater, WAS CAUSED by the invasion of the Chinese-named Wu Hei, who invaded from Siberia down into China and northern India and eastern Persia. This caused the majority of these populations to flee westward. Huns (Chinese capitol Huangs) Saxons (South Huangs), Angles (Huangs), Jutes (religious group under leader Judah Tse), Slavs (religous group under leader Lau Tse), Vranagians (Persian-Huang intermarrieds), Vandals (Indian Panthali tribe), Ostrogoths (Eastern European Goths, Indian Gautama tribe), Visigoths (Western European/North African Goths, Indian Gautama tribe). It is also remnant other populations of dark skinned people, invaded into and settled in the (later) Central Arab Republics, Mideast, and Egypt. These "Arabs" (Hebrew erebs, dark skinned people) were not biblical Ishmaelite, and not ancient populations there. They came from China, India, and eastern Persia. All these fled from massive drought, volcanic climate change, planetary heat dome cycles, disease, war invasion ... westward. The Wu Hei who appeared out of Siberia, like the 800 years later (1200s CE) Mongols ... WERE ... Mayans, Mi-ho-ui-cans ... Wu Hei. Both of these groups came from the (known) 400 year cycles of civilization and climate collapse in the Mayan empire 1200 BCE - 1200 CE. It is the Aztec empire, that came down at the end of the Mayan dynastic collapse, and started the Aztec empire (1200s - 1513 CE). All these events pushed out these Central Americans into North America, the West Coast of North America, gathering up horses (which were first native to North America - not the Old World), cut down forests, made extensive sailing ships, and sailed to the Siberian steppes and Asia (in both 400s and 1200s CE periods). The Mayan Wu Hei and the Mayan Mongols (Mayan Cohols, Gauls) were NOT indigenous to the Siberian steppes, they were foreign populations that entered into the Old World .... This is part of the real worldwide population movement, ALONG SIDE, and being the possible primary reason for massive population relocations in this 400s-600s period of time - is climate collapse and then this volcanic event.

Also, amusingly to me, the information about krakatoa is relayed in such a manner that it is a surprise somehow that all the business of a whole darkened Earth is the responsibility of such a notorious volcano as to be referenced by the B52s, almost as if it was an adjective, not a noun. Of course it was krakatoa. If we, at least in America, aren't talking about Pompei specificallyfor it's archeological significance, or St Helens, because that just doesn' thappen here, sort of feeling of surpirise and devastation about it, well what other volcano are we going to talk about? Yes, okay, rhe ring of fire. But all those islands aren't major population centers, and world famous technologically innovative and industrial centers, necessarily, but small land masses characteizef by volcanic upheaval that which i.pact may be limited to a very small and culturally isolated set of people. Of course we are talking about krakatoa and only because it was so enormous and devasting and so far reaching in it's devastation. What else are we going to talk about? Vesuvious? Idk. I think that one is only interesting because, idk, elevation and it's proximation to other European destinations now and forever ago? But whatever research they have to offer in their studies as evidence pinning it all on kakatoa is noteworthy and I want to know, even if I was sure it was krakatoa well before we got there in section one of all this. I think they do an oustanding job a dramatizing it, and somehow sharper couched in all the even keel emotionless presentation, except its British, so the emotion is there, but it's subtle.
