  • Was the year 536 AD the worst ever? The 6th century boasted many exceptional events, people, and historical contributions. The exception, however, was one year that was particularly burdened with a level of tragedy and strife most historians say surpassed any other moment in history: 536 CE. This was the worst part of the Dark Ages.

    The volcanic activity around the world in 536 AD must have been massive. A more recent similar event happened the last time Krakatoa blew in 1883 and the volcanic winter was only half as bad as 536. And the Krakatoa eruption was no joke. Tens of thousands of people died from the explosion and tsunamis, and people in western Australia heard the blast, almost 2,000 miles away. It was the loudest recorded sound in modern history. Imagine what it would have been like in 536. 💀

      And Christianity lacked any Gods? I think he was more referring the general era anyway, plus Christianity may have been the official religion of the Holy Roman Empire, but Europe has never been completely culturally monolithic. Paganism never died entirely, it just went under, and somewhat got fused into Christianity.

  • @Sedthsret
    @Sedthsret Před rokem +53

    hi, US American here, but i’m an engineer and appreciate Celsius. @ 2:55, the unit conversion doesn’t make sense. The global temperature dropped between 1.6 to 2.5 degrees Celsius. 1.6C is indeed equivalent to 34.88F, and 2.5C to 36.5F. But the temperature didn’t drop to nearly freezing, it dropped a few degrees from the then average temperature. You need to convert one degree system to the other, meaning we need to know how many Fahrenheit degrees fit into a Celsius degree. In Celsius the difference in degrees between freezing and boiling is 100 units. In Fahrenheit the difference is 180 (32 to 212, idk why either) so comparing 100 to 180, 1 degree of Celsius is 1.8 times bigger than a degree of Fahrenheit. So the global temperature dropping 1.6 to 2.5 degrees C means it dropped 2.88 to 4.5 degrees F.

    • @matthewgriffith3988
      @matthewgriffith3988 Před 2 měsíci +6

      Exactly, rofl. By this guy's estimate if you were to increase the temperature by .01C at a time the boiling point would be tens of thousands of degrees Fahrenheit.

    • @Fender96
      @Fender96 Před 2 měsíci +10

      Yeah that part left me scratching my head as well. Obviously way, WAY off in the conversion (fellow engineer here too). Lol, if the average global temp really had dropped some 35 degrees F, then 536 wouldn’t have just been the worst year for everyone. It probably would’ve also been the last year for everyone.

This is per a historian/scientist research... The previous explosion of the same volcano was the Bronze age collapse.... about 800 BC....

      for anyone wondering what the mistake is:
      the formula to convert Celsius to Fahrenheit is (1.8C)+32=F
      1.6 C is equivalent to 34.88 F.
      But if the average temperature is, say, 13.9 C (or 57 F), but then drops by 1.6 C, it becomes 12.3 C (or 54.1 F). So a drop by 1.6 C would be equivalent to a drop by 2.9 F.

    We have a book called "Catastrophe - An investigation into the origins of the modern world" written in 2000 by David Keyes. It is a fascinating analysis of various cultures based on historical records and scientific evidence from all over the world that describes the results of this event. His examination leads to the conclusion that the volcano was Krakatoa. The world wide impact of this event indicates that the volcanic explosion was huge, and was most likely near the Equator. I have read it several times, and highly recommend it to your audience.

In 1960 there were only 3 infectious diseases among the main causes of deaths, accounting for 16.1% of all deaths, and in 2000 only pneumonia was among the 10 main causes of death.
      Tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough, measles, and scarlet fever were controlled in this period. Nevertheless, infectious diseases as pneumonia, septicemia, tuberculosis, and AIDS still deserve special attention from public health authorities."
