Researching a climatic catastrophe that rocked the Earth in A.D. 535, causing two years of darkness, famine, drought and disease.
Written records from China, Italy, Palestine and many other countries suggest a huge catastrophe blighted the world in 535AD. But the cause of it has been uncertain.
Was it a comet? An asteroid? A volcano? Archaeologist David Keys reveals the latter is to blame for the Dark Ages of famine and plague that shaped the world order of today.

For over 100 years tree rings were only studied for a gross idea of rainfall. The concept that you could beat on tree ring data to maybe get a signal of summer temperatures for some pines in Norway and Canada, is one of those speculative shitholes that became natural law over time. Dozens of things affect tree rings, so getting temperature out might work if vast error is okay, but only conceptually became biothermometers to climatic crackpots recently to say what they want. In a signal of random noise, making conclusions of what you see is political.

Some added details from Wikipedia: The storms and unseasonably cold weather resulted in 1816 being referred to as the Year Without a Summer. It is now known that the exceptional global weather conditions that year were caused by the volcanic eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia. The Villa Diodati is a mansion in the village of Cologny near Lake Geneva in Switzerland, notable because Lord Byron rented it and stayed there with Dr. John Polidori in the summer of 1816. Mary Shelley, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Mary’s stepsister Claire Clairmont, who had rented a house nearby, were frequent visitors. Because of poor weather, in June 1816 the group famously spent three days together inside the house creating stories to tell each other, two of which were developed into landmark works of the Gothic horror genre: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and The Vampyre, the first modern vampire story, by Polidori.

There's no limit to things the Earth's crust can do and no limit to the damage it can cause to things humans build. Global glaciation also grinds to dust everything, and those things go everywhere on the planet, all at once. Humans are feble except for our brains and we need to find a new home.

How many miles to the gallon is Joe going to get from his electrical plane? Really carry around spare batteries while he flies everywhere in the world? And how many miles can he get to one charge? Where are these stations located since he's shut down our power grid? How long is it going to take to charge one and does anybody think it's going to be free? It's going to cost more to charge your car than to fill it up with gas four times. But it's saving the planet. Yeah right. There have been changes throughout the planet such as the ice age as you mentioned. Jurassic period, what killed the dinosaurs could Joe Biden have stopped that s***? He thinks he can! Let's shut down all the oil producers in the United States and buy it from our enemies. We should be able to get it from our enemies for free. That what he thinks? I'm sorry I rattled on.

I've recently started contemplating one that is normally discarded by modern scientist, the Great flood. And the science that surrounds the concept of such an event. We often toss it out since its "just a bible story" , even though Sumarian and other ancient cultures also mention it. even christians dont even read what was actually written correctly. It did not just "rain enough in 40 days to literally flood the world above the heights of mountains" that's silly and doesn't have logical sense. The actual quote from Genesis is "the fountains of the great deep were opened up, the windows of heaven were opened up, and the rain was upon the earth 40 days and 40 nights" the 40 days of rain came AFTER 2 other events. The fountains of the deep = volcanic events, and the "windows of heaven (heaven in scripture usually refers to outer space, not the afterlife) = meteors It was a far bigger geological event that is very plausible, and fascinating to estslish the idea as hypothesis, then dive into evidence that supports it. A meteor a mile wide hitting directly into the ocean alone would flood mountains with the scale of tsunami created by it.

Prof Lowenstein of YVO says there were two kabooms. The 450 AD killed off the Roman Republic in the West. Then a monster 530 AD one sent ash all around the world. The Goths were invited into Roma, to get those souls out from under a 13 year build up of the yearly Capita Tax. So hail Odoracer, King of Rome, and forget the 800 year old Republic. By 530, the Goths had been chased into Iberia, by Byzantines based at Ravenna at the mouth of the Po and so they missed c out on the worst of this volcanic winter.

As I said earlier the eruption had to be a high VEI 7 or 8 and I wouldn't want to be anywhere around it when it exploded.

I will never forget the summer of 1984, in Germany. After having lived in Germany for 20 years, I suddenly experienced a year with no summer at all, with heavy clouds, and overcast; no sun at all! The spring rains just continued right through June, and July. In fact, the rain continued every day, until mid September, when we had about 10 days without rain, and then it started to rain again. The whole year had been cold, and miserable. That autumn, I stood watching as the rain kept falling until, on 3 November, the rain drops suddenly turned into snowflakes! The following winter had heavy snows, right up into April. We saw the first real sunshine in May of 1985. 1984 had been preceded by several significant volcanic eruptions, in Kilauea, and in Alaska, Europe, and Asia, which continued into the early weeks of 1984.

There are lots of programs for ring pattern matching (see CDendro for instance). Each year, trees grow in diameter and produces new wood in a layer just beneath the bark called the cambium. In the spring when moisture surges, the cells of a tree expand quickly. Over the course of the summer as the ground becomes drier, the cells begin to shrink. This change in cell size is visible in tree-rings, or growth-rings. Natural tree variation, sudden climate changes or if a tree is planted near a creek or a river, for example, it may get so much water (and water is what makes those little tree cells expand) that the rings no longer equate to each year elapsed (81). But for the 40% that are datable, counting the rings on a sample tells dendrochronologists how old the tree was when it was cut down. However, counting alone does not tell dendrochronologists what time period the tree is from. To find that out, scientists must focus on the pattern of rings rather than number of them. Tree rings develop in the same pattern (e.g., wide ring, wide ring, narrow ring, wide, narrow, etc.) in all trees across the same climate or region. Scientists identify these patterns by laying a strip of graph paper across a sample, and marking only the narrow rings. This is called skeleton plotting (82) . This method works because of the human brain's aptitude for recognizing patterns. Humans are actually, "much better at that than computers are".

Essentially what happens with Krakatoa is as the hot plume below the volcano adds to the calderas available pool of lava pressure is built up because of two things. One is that this particular lava has high moisture content so it has high steam pressure. Then you have the water seeping in through cracks as the living Rock so to speak rises and falls. Eventually enough moisture comes in contact with the lava results in an explosion. It's kind of like I Campi fliagra that surrounds Naples Italy. If you look at the geology of the caldera, and then look at the population concentration, this active volcano could kill millions the next time it goes.

They also have a 'tentatively dated' list of medieval eruptions, none of which are 1215 CE - 1150 & 1320 are as close as they get.

There is no public discourse just imposed narrative. If there was an open and honest debate the AGW crowd would be blown out because of questions they can’t answer. Michael Mann is a perfect example. The rest of us are not sophisticated enough to understand his hockey stick graph cited by Al Gore’s fraud.

@@aron1332 Well the Taupo Volcanic Zone isn't one Volcano but consist of lots of Volcanos (4 of them being Super volcanos, 5 VEI:8 eruptions in the last 1.2m years) and covers an area of 217miles long and 31miles wide, not sure how that compares to Yellowstone. But what is known is in the last 1 million years Taupo has had some of the biggest eruptions with the Whakamaru eruption being the 2nd biggest in the last 1 million years after Lake Toba. And the Mangakino eruption just over 1 million years ago being bigger than the largest Yellowstone Eruption. I live just over 100kms from Taupo and I wouldn't fancy my chances if it does go off again in my lifetime, and I was very concerned when I felt the last magma quake from over 100kms away.

This video is probably from the 90s-00s, the ending leaves things wide open 6k BC to 1200AD. Hope someone has done more work too see if 530s-540s was volcanic and related to a specific event. Good video and like how they walked through other possibilities before attempting to narrow this to a specific event.

"During the years 535 and 536 a.d there was a sign from the sun the like of a witch had never been seen or reported before. The sun became dark and its darkness lasted for 18 months. Each day it shunned for about four hours and still this light was only a feeble shadow. Everyone declared that the sun would never recover its full light again." ~ John of Ephesus, Syrian Bishop

Our species would've went extinct if not for the short time frame and the resilience we as a species have developed. Worst part about this, there would be literally nothing you could do to prevent something like this from happening again. Nature is a wild beast and we are simply holding on for dear life.

Something like it is happening again and humans are causing it by making massive amounts of CO2 enter the Earths atmosphere. It is called climate change, and it is happening now and will last much longer than 2 years. With 410 parts per million of CO2 our atmosphere is like to was 3 million years ago. Sea Levels were 60 feet higher than now. Slowly worldwide glaciers are melting and even if CO2 were stopped today Sea Levels will raise 60 feet or more. I live about 20 feet above sea level. My hometown, Wilmington, CA, is doomed but I'm 71 years old and wilol be gone by the time it's under water in 40 to 50 years.

Yellowstone is at least 100,000 years from being due for an eruption. Stop looking at just the last 3 eruptions it had and look at its entire history. When you do, you begin to understand that it isn't "due" for an eruption anytime in the near future.

@@abacab87 If you take away 100k years from 100k years, that equals zero, that would mean an eruption happens NOW or a year from now! I am going by memory, but a few years ago, National Geographic has a cover story on Yellowstone that indicated the dates of the previous eruptions. Wikipedia shows the last three eruptions were this many years ago: (A) 2.1 million years (B) 1.3 million years (C) 630,000 years ago Thus, there were 800,000 years between "A" and "B" and 670,000 years between "B" and "C". Thus, if there is 670,000 years between "C" and the next eruption ("D"), since "C" was 630,000 years ago, then "D" happens in 670,000 less 630,000 or in 40,000 years, in 42020 AD.
