Every generation or time has their own struggles. I would say that mental hardship is more difficult than a physical one. When a person suffers mentally their whole body suffers.

@@jackiemack8653 Physical suffering CAN be accompanied by a cheerful mind. You're talking about a physal sickness which led to depression. I'm talking about a struggle with the elements.

Bo Gräslund(Swedish archaeologist) agrees with you about this

Ragnarok is the end of the world, the gods killed each other and left. Thor (literal lightning) came down with the bulls head (mars) to catch jormungandr (the mountain ranges). And that's not even Ragnarok, just one time Thor was acting up. I think the planets (gods) were a lot closer back then. Look up the aboriginal petroglyphs in Australia and compare them to plasma discharge. They saw that stuff in the sky. Also compare the scar on mars to the pitting of welders (plasma discharger) on metal ( you'll have to get a magnified image.)

@@Didleeios88 the political class, they've been robbing the middle class for decades. Literally. Not leftwing vs right-wing, both of the sides do the same thing. They produce nothing, and take our money. Basically they steal our capital from us and collect it as profit, and by capital I mean human capital, in the form of skills and knowledge. Inflation is a hidden tax caused by their infinite money printers, then we are taxes on top of that, taken to war over so the military industrial complex can profit, sold shitty food so we stay sick and buy drugs so pharma profits, we give away all our data with social media so that Google and FB profit, by directly advertising to us products we don't need so someone else profits again, on and on it goes man. The tech the government has is way beyond what they give to the public. Public funded research is hidden from us, which should be illegal. I mean I could keep going. But the reason nothing has improved in 20 years is the leadership doesn't want it to, they just want to consolidate their wealth and power. It's a perfectly natural drive of human nature but we have been fooled into believing politicians have somehow transcended this hard, cold fact of human nature. Unfortunately that isn't true.

And guess what? There were no factories, cars, industry, or overpopulation to blame.

Yes. I'm fascinated by how natural disasters and climatic shifts impact social development in world history.

It doesn't really sound much like a joke.

Based on the limited available info about those impressive and fascinating people, it doesn’t appear they joked about much lol.

The Aztecs killed tons of people, all with the excuse they were keeping the sun alive. When the sun appeared to be failing, I bet they killed even more. But people eventually decided it wasn't working and abandoned the altars.

The Aztecs weren't around that long ago... but they were known to be fascinated by solar eclipses, when the sun disappears. Teotihuacan, and also the Mayans, were definitely affected by this series of eruptions.

"A follow-up study that analyzed tree rings and a layer of volcanic ash preserved in a distant glacier placed a new date of 431 A.D. on the Ilopango eruption-a century before the period of global cooling. The analysis suggests that while the eruption devastated the local landscape, it likely had little impact on global climate."

One thing I’ve learned after years of watching all these documentaries is that they raise great questions but then they’re like 90% BS .

Ken Woleltz published a rather fascinating paper postulating that the Dark Ages were caused by the massive eruption of Krakatoa during this time frame. Six tons of ash and dust were blown into the atmosphere - a global 'nuclear' winter. Such conditions would have caused vermin to breed prodigiously in the darkened environment, leading to the Black Plague. Isn't history cool?

I had some brainwashed climate clown try to tell me its strictly CO2 that changes earth's climate. Never mind the many examples in recorded history of volcanoes crashing the climate, then there's the pre-historic evidence recorded in the earth. Even when he was presented with the volcanic eruptions causing extinctions, mass death and geographical changes, he said "Nope a volcano doesn't put out enough CO2 to change the climate". Some people should not be able to vote or reproduce.

@Janitor Queen did you say you are currently getting yellow dust in your home? There may be an industry of some sort near you not filtering their smokestack correctly.

You fine as hell.

it makes no sense really. The pieces of wood they were showing don't have 7000 rings on them, so how do they know when the tree started to produce rings?? And it is ludicrous beyond belief to think the rings from trees in China can be compared to rings from Ireland, for example. Totally different local conditions.

@@EJ-zj7tt You think too linear. Look up dendrochronology before replying.

Multiple rings can form in one year. It is not 100% accurate. wet and dry periods or warm and cold periods can create multiple rings in one year. The oldest trees alive are about 4000 years old + -

​@EJ-zj7tt You very clearly didn't watch the part of the video where they explained dendochronology in detail. Quite embarrassing to criticise a video you haven't watched, and a scientific method you obviously haven't looked into at all.

Your analogies of catastrophic events that are possibly/likely tied to other catastrophes tells me that you are an astute and introspective thinker. I believe that you noticed a probable pattern that I am embarrassed to admit did not occur to me. Dear stranger: I am impressed and that doesn't come to me easily. Again: I am impressed with your capacity of reason and attention to human history related to such. WOW!

Good science. Rather than looking for confirmation of a previously determined hypothesis, the process accumulated data and conducted analysis. I'm sure many had a hunch, however the mark of good science is to delay the hypothesis without rushing to previously held ideas. Some studies stop when the research points to one's biased theory. Impressive.

No. It's editing. These fields are separate disciplines, with anomalies that were discovered separately. The anthropologists who read about the "dark skies and yellow powder that could be scooped up" would have immediately recognized it was a volcano. The arborists that studied the tree rings would have looked for reports of problems around that time. The geologists would have already known there was no a scattering of rare earth elements at that time. Basically the first 2/3 of every documentary that proposes a mystery, is all filler that has been arranged to appear like detective work is being followed to conclusions. In reality, the events were already known and producers just look for a way to fill time between commercials.

@@lemonstealinghorsdoeuvre pbs had commercials?

According to the democrats it’s people

I have been following the studies that 'Suspicious Observers' on YT report on. These studies show that the cycles of the Sun (along with other cycles that I am not informed enough to comment on) cause volcanic and quake activity. It would be interesting to see if the Sun was entering the same part of the cycle, at that time, as it is now. We are seeing the Sun's activity ramp up right now, and we are also seeing volcanic and quake activity follow. I don't know or understand enough about it to explain the details, but it is compelling, and I am seeing those studies predict correctly, the rise in volcanic and quake activity that we are seeing now.

There is a reason why it was called "The Dark Ages".

@@bsaxton6400 A powerful sun storm wouldn't heat cook the Earth. The only recorded major sun storm is the Carrington Event of 1859. Massive electromagnetic waves would hit like a tsunami. Geomagnetic storms would flow through the air and ground, frying ungrounded electronics, knocking out power over vast areas. Satellites would be disrupted by the magnetic turbulence. Anything reliant on electromagnetism might not work anymore, like radio signal. If the repeaters on undersea cables fail, total internet collapse may occur. Solar flares only last hours, but can have series that go on for weeks. However, Antarctic ice has evidence of a supermassive sun storm in AD 993 called the Miyake Event. All the previous effects, but stronger, and going on for months. The loss of electricity and the internet wouldn't do much directly to humans. Its mostly the side effects of loss of the infrastructure that would be damaging. Subsistence farmers with manual wells would be fine.

It wont be that bad. There would be epic Aurora Borealis / Aurora Australis. If you had any idea how far away the sun is. You would not think it poses an alarming threat. At the end of the day, we inhabit a radioactive rock. Hurtling through the milky-way galaxy, its center a supermassive black hole. Orbiting a giant unshielded nuclear-fusion reactor. Protected from it's deadly rays. And from other flying rocks. By nothing except thin air and puffy white clouds. It works pretty good.

Here's another crazy thing that tree ring analysis can do! Ever heard of the Lituya Bay megatsunami in Alaska? There was evidence discovered in the 60s that something had killed off all the trees below a certain level in this one bay in Alaska. Nobody could understand why there was this sharp line between old growth trees and newer, younger trees, or what could have caused such a weird thing to happen. Then some scientists took a core sample from the very edge of the boundary from the older trees and did some X-ray studies on it. The inside of the tree showed massive bruising, the type that could only happen from an impact of enormous force. This is one of the ways we demonstrated that this massive wave did occur as the result of a landslide. Just recently in 2015 a similar event was captured by scientific instrumentation, proving the theory correct. Super cool stuff!

According to the USGS the name of Yellowstone national park doesn't actually come from the rhyolite lavas in the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, but from Native Americans who were referring to yellow sandstones along the banks of the Yellowstone River in eastern Montana, several hundred miles downstream and northeast of the Park.
