And they thought Mt. St. Helens was a bugger!
Ten years ago, I went to Oregon to visit family who were there when the eruption occurred. They were STILL dealing with the fallout of that eruption...having to dig out the Columbia River shipping channel...still digging out the Toutle River Valley..blown-down old growth timber washing up on the Washington and Oregon Coasts. Thirty- some years after the initial event.
And St. Helens was a hiccup compared with Krakatoa.

The 9th century had another great catastrophe, one that would split up the Athabaskan or Na-Dene peoples of Northwestern North America.
In fact, around the 9th century, a major volcanic eruption occurred in Alaska's, known as the White River Ash Eruption, which displaced numerous Athabaskan peoples, notably the Navajo, Apache, Chippewa, Jicarilla, Lipan, Mescalero, and Chiricahua peoples to the Modern Day Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico.
These Native American groups were separated from its Northern Athabaskan/Na-Dene counterparts, including the Koyukon, Tanana, Ahtna, Dena'ina, Deg Xinag, Han, Gwich'in, Tutchone, Tagish, Tlingit, Kaska, Chipewyan, South Slavey (Dene Zhatie), North Slavey (Sahtu), and Dogrib (Tlicho).
If you ever wonder why Navajo artifacts, clothing, and language sound and look similar to counterparts in Yukon, Northwest Territories (Denendeh), and Alaska, its due to the fact that the Navajo and native peoples of Northwestern North America are related.

Amazing information! Iām hooked with the era because the year 536 CE was on Professorās Robert Dull mind in which the responsible was ilopango caldera volcano in El Salvador. Recently Professor Ivan Sunye-Puchol narrowed the eruption to 431 CE by sampling a tree as well. I been diving and studying ilopango since 1996. We keep an eye on a lava dome with fumaroles present. Highest temperature I have registered at 23 meters underwater is 58Ā°C. The caldera is such an active volcano. Iām in the middle of generating an animation of the last eruption it had in 1879-1880.
I enjoyed so much the documentary. Thanks.

There are recent studies showing that there was a comet impact in gulf of Carpentaria in Australia (two large craters that are 12 and 18 km in diameter) at that time via magnetite spherules from Greland ice cores and also from other sources. So not only volcanic eruptions were the main cause but multiple events...

Currently - mid year 2023 - there are more than thirty volcanoes erupting around the planet, including Etna in Italy, Popocatepetal in Mexico, Anak Krakatoa in Indonesia, and significant volcanos in Iceland, in Eastern Russia, in Ecuadorā¦ Plenty of Solar eruptions too have been observed recently which always influence tectonic activity on Earth.

Good lord, this documentary had it all! Tree rings, comets, volcanos, King Arthur, bubonic plague, ice samples from Antarctica, sick babies in Mexico, rat fleas at 25 degrees, unending winters, Chinese booms, Roman Empire barbarian tributes. And I still got 10 minutes left! I am thrilled and speechless.
