Written records from China, Italy, Palestine and many other countries suggest a huge catastrophe blighted the world in 536AD. 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.

As a person who has lived in 536 A.D, I can confirm that this is true.

My Grandmother was born in Western N.S.W. Australia in 1880 and died in 1970.She clearly recalled the ash cloud which caused the vibrant red sunsets for years after.She told me that in later years her mother told her she heard a rumble at the time but it took a long time for details to arrive in the news paper, being so far from the cities.It was then that she knew what she had heard.

I was born in one of regency in Indonesia, its name Pandeglang. But I grew up, study and now work in another city. But I always visit my hometown at least once a year. My village is surrounded by three mountains; Pulosari, Karang, and Aseupan. One of it 'stands' like a wall, separated my area with the strait/sea where the Krakatoa is located. When I went to my hometown I liked to visit stream or small river, and I always amazed by big rock that seems like scattered fell from the sky, that's my thought when I was kid. Now I'm 30. Later I thought, was that rock or stone came from mount eruption, but which mounts? Since my hometown is surrounded by three mountains, I mentioned above. And after I searched I don't find any record about erruption from three mountains I mentioned above. I never had a thought it came from Krakatoa until I watched this. I checked Google earth and took the straight line from my village to Krakatoa caldera right now, it's around 70 km away only. Anything is possible. One of my favourites rock is the rock which as big as dining table, almost 2 meter in diameter and height. I hope someday the scientist comes to my hometown to explore more about Krakatoa impacts.

No matter what we are going through now, I truly believe I am so lucky to have lived in this timeline! We are pretty spoiled and have not had to endure such hardships as it was back then or even just 100 years ago.
No fear! Only gratitude!

I am from India, and I was wondering what was going around at this time in the Indian subcontinent (considering all the political upheaval mentioned in the video going on so close to India).
I found something very interesting, exactly around this period, the Golden age of India that of the Gupta dynasty came to an end. One archeologist, Mr Shanker Sharma said in 2019 that the end came due to a great flood around 550 AD that devastated the land ruled by the dynasty. I wonder!!!!! :O

The eastern Roman Empire depended on wheat imports from Egypt. The crop failures due to the volcanic eruption made this trade even more essential. Ivory trade probably not a major factor, although as seen with the Black Plague much later, all it takes is 1 ship to spread the disease across continents.

Another excellent program! I appreciate greatly the consideration and inclusion of South American and Central American civilizations. There are many documentaries which claim a global focus when what they focus on is really European and North American history. Well done ππ½

Thanks, so glad I came across this fascinating documentary. Many questions of our historic evolution are enlightened by the answers provided by events spawned of the occurrence of this natural disaster.

My opinion: Man's ability to recreate historical events like this is just incredible! Thanks to those who brought about this documentary!

Dr. Storey (the archaeologist who discussed the bones found in Mexico) was my osteology instructor at the University of Houston. What a surprise to see her!

Catastrophe is a book by David Keys. In depth explanation of how the world of 536 was affected in climatically, politically, and religiously. How nations rose and fell through the starvation and death caused by the plague. Impressively like the world situation is now. An excellent study.

Lake Taupo (New Zealand Super Volcano) went up around 200AD and the Chinese and Romans wrote about their sky being a red/orange colour.
Thats pretty impressive when you consider New Zealand is in the southern hemisphere.

This was during the reign of Justinian, the last Eastern Roman Empire emperor who actually spoke Latin. His story is pretty awesome, especially that of his wife, Empress Theodora.

Remarkably interesting, the way they managed to tie it all together. I previously had no idea!
