- From late 535 AD to 536, written records from across the world suggest a mysterious climate catastrophe. Dubbed the year "without a summer", the sun was completely dimmed and shadows were invisible even at noon. The cause of of the "worst year to be alive in history" has been long 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.

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.
No Atlantis though.
@edstar83 A fair point. Also no Bigfoot.

This is far and away the best documentary discussing the events of 536AD I’ve ever watched. So informative, thoughtfully put together and detailed. Nothing else compares.
I know... Right...💯
You’re right, it’s brilliant. But…how many other docs on 536CE are there? Lol
I actually never knew 536AD was significant.
Probably the only 1
I hope 2024 isn’t worse
Sound engineer: How dramatic and unsettling do you want your documentary?
Producer: Yes
No kidding! Some of the sounds they use seem to induce a genuine feeling of dread.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 yes!!!!
Lol.
the most unsettling moment was when the volcanologist wrote with the sharpie on the whiteboard. It was too much for me, I had to skip that segment.
😆
This first aired as part of the PBS series, “Secrets of the Dead” And remains one of my favorites. Great to be able to see it again!
Yeah i used to rent this from the library 15 years ago.
year of broadcast?
Wish I'd had this when I was still teaching. I did deep dives into the 6th and 14th centuries with my kids (even the Avars!), and on top of the interesting Krakatoa theory, it's such a great way to show that global interconnectedness is not a 20-21st century innovation.
For the Carl Sagan boomer generation, in particular.😂 The question is not the interconnectivity which is guaranteed but the real degree of mutual interference in terms of shared consequences. As we say in physics, reality is not local (because it is global and ubiquos like entangled photon) or not real in the traditional sense (because it depends to the acknowledgement of it by mind or reference) or both. However locality remains as a non essential feature of "our" human universe -- because we live local in many senses.

That's what I thought. I wish my history lessons looked like this. Instead of trying to memorize kings/sultans birth and death dates or war affairs; a more thorough approach (involving various fields of science) to how and why changes happen in human history. Understanding the very terrain we stand on and the very sky that envelope us.

The Reason For The DarkAges ln 536
Was the great fslling away of the New Testament church that Paul warned about some 500 years in advance.
(ACTS 20:20-30).
Wherefore, watch ye! (ACTS 20:31)
Another prophecy concerning the falling away of the Lord’s church is given in (l TIMOTHY 4:1-3)
Another of the significant prophecies in the New Testament period, that there would be those in the church of our Lord that would lead the church into a widespread falling away, “departure from the truth” or, apostasy. (Il THESSALONIANS 2:1-4)
OR AS GOD’S REPRESENTATIVE HERE UPON THE EARTH.
Or, The Popes Of Rome.
In all of these passages, the inspired apostle Paul foretold very clearly, and very certainly, that there would be a great falling away of the church.
HE FORETOLD HOW IT WOULD COME
It would come about through the elders, “the overseers of the church of our Lord” Speaking perverse things to draw away the disciples after them.
Very interesting. In my country, Peru, there was a pre-Inka civilization that suddenly disappeared by the VII century, Chimu civilization. Archeologists have blamed to El Niño for it, but it is not difficult to see the connection between El Niño and the volcanic eruption.
Don’t forget lake illapongo went off at 538
If you have no clue maybe don't write. Chimu Empire is well documented into the 15th century but then was destroyed by the Inca on their warpath. .
Its interesting that most civilizations in america disappeared, mayans, olmecs, etc maybe our pass is a lie and we only know what we are told. What if the diluvian happened not milleniums but 100{s years.

Pretty sure I’ve watched multiple episodes on ancient aliens about that
The supercomputer used to compute the blast of that volcano is less powerful than the mobile phone I play a stupid game on while taking a dump. I wish I had that man's abilities to use my own supercomputer to the same extent. Very impressive, as is the entire doc. Thank you for uploading.

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.
I traveled on vacation with my sister and brother in law.
I remember when St Helens blew its top.
I remember seeing all the trees, but didn't realize they were from the eruption.
Thanks for sharing that! Cool fact.
😊👍
@@mypetgiraffe4236 Very welcome! My family have lived in Longview, Wa ;Kelso, Wa. Rainier, Or., Clatskanie, Or., Astoria, Or. ( The movies "Goonies"and "Short Circuit" were filmed there and parts of GOONIES were filmed at Cannon Beach, Or.)
We've lived in those necks of the woods for over 75 yrs. My cousin used to hold fishing rights on the Columbia River between Longview Wa/ Rainier, Or.) LIKE I SAY...THATS OUR HOME GROUND.
Oh yeah, I was fascinated by the insanity of the Mount St. Helens eruption when I was a kid. My school had a book about it, and like the morbid little first-grader I was, I ate it up.
THEN I saw a TV documentary about Krakatoa, and me and my dad were both just STUNNED by it. To this day, when I think scary natural disasters, that's always one of the first ones that comes to mind. The part that really hit me the most for some reason was the bit where the narrator said there were a TON of species that lived only on that island, so that when they were gone from there, they were GONE gone--and it WAS, past tense, insanely diverse. Kid me was just like :( :( :(
Don't forget Tonga eruption a year ago. That was a nasty one!!
The ‘Early Chimu’ civilization is more often lumped together with other cultures and referred by another name (Moche) and these ‘Early Chimu’ et al, subsided by 700. They regained their substance over a 200 year period as the ‘Chimu’ civilization and were conquered by Inca 1470.
I guess the name Dark Ages is more fitting than we knew.
It's very common knowledge that the dark ages were dark times lol everybody knows this
It's now the early middle ages lol
@@BenDover-de7tf history will show this century to be not exactly one of the brightest either, so 'lol' away.. the joke's on you.
The computers are so awesome, and old. I love watching old documentaries like this for that reason. They always show footage of someone on a computer. I love seeing the old equipment and like to see if I can figure out the age of the documentary by the type of equipment they're using.
Most equipment uses RS200(?) serial connector, available on older or new but expensive computers :)
And some handcrafted special software still runs under MS DOS :)
Yeah, I'm often amused by the computers in older programs.

@@laktho Some run under IBM DOS. I know, I have used it while MS was still a gleam in his daddies eye.
@@bunzeebear2973 Didn’t Gates develop that? Also DOS has been around since at least the 60s. Congrats on being old and at least middle class.
The book, "Catastrophe", is one of my most treasured books, and has helped me through many difficult times ..
What phenomenal cinematography!! The narration, the scenery, the sound -- who did all this? I award this an Academy Award! And I've only been watching for 15 minutes! Wow, thank you!!
It also works well as an audio podcast too! unusual and excellent combination.
I agre but a lot of people profit off of the history that they tell and a lot of my people are sellouts because our ancestors died rebelling against incoming Farms because they was bringing a lot of they people over here to enslave they on people but no body talk about European enslavement matter of fact they had more Europeans dat was in enslave Den so-called blacks they had to work to come to the so call new world to them and a lot was dying coming over here because the Roman laws was really strict they was getting hung crucified this rabbit hole gets deeper than anyone would imagine
I never imagined that Rosie O'Donnell was that amount of age, or where she actually came from or the damage her arrival caused when she arrived.
And she HAS erupted several times in recent (political) history with considerable disruptive force. So.....
It’s called “the 90s” a/k/a class.
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.
Long ago, I met a well traveled Navajo woman in academia. She said that in Mongolia (I think it was) the word for a type of flute is the same word in Navajo.
thanks so much for this! learned very much 😌
Were the Anasazi still around when the Athabaskans arrived?
Great piece of history and geography I had not learned before, thank you.
@@823850 The Navajo and Tibetans produce quite similar sand paintings. I talked with a Tibetan who, with several other men was creating one. He’d made a sand painting several years earlier, with a team of Navajo making one at the same time. His comment was that he thought the two groups looked very similar. When done, both groups sweep the painting away.
Great detective research in acquiring wood used in ancient buildings to look at tree rings.
Fascinating detail by Mike Bailey and David Keys on what kind of weather information they were able to tell us in world history through trees, and other amazing examples!
Amazing information! I’m hooked with the era because the year 536 CE was on Professor’s 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 58°C. The caldera is such an active volcano. I’m in the middle of generating an animation of the last eruption it had in 1879-1880.
I enjoyed so much the documentary. Thanks.
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 Ecuador… Plenty of Solar eruptions too have been observed recently which always influence tectonic activity on Earth.
Solar eruptions have nothing to do with tectonic plate movements. Zero.
Nada. Njiet. Nein. No.
This chronology is so clever, mankind would be without its knowledge if it were left to me... Its so amazing that the world records its history for those intelligent enough to read it...
Hail, the age of information, the age of the knowledge crisis.
ROME RECORDED THE DATE AS BEING THE BEGINNING OF THE 13 CENTURY. I BELIEVE IF I RECALL CORRECT IT WAS 1293 AD. iF ANYONE KNOWS IT WOULD BE Rome
And people still don't believe Jesus' crucifixion
Most of the Hebrews are the only people who forgot their ancient ancestry. For example, other Human groups can trace their people to those in Holy Scriptures. Like Syrian, Assyrian, Persian, and Arab. However, region does not establish ancestry. So, if common people base their ancient ancestry upon their current region, deep-dive research, and/or have those given in DNA test results, the data never goes back to the 2000+ years ago when Rome took the Israelite majority captive. Sheeple ain't very smart, to be honest. Take it from one of the flock who smells wolves in our midst...
@@AverageAmerican hey I hear you... and I agree with you.
I love and respect Trees. They breathe, they communicate, and they even communicate pain to each other.

The Finnish tetrametric (Kalevala type) poetry tells about how a strong female sourcerer took the Sun as a prisoner and shut it inside a mountain and then the sun didn´t shine anymore.

David Keys' book "Catastrophe: A Quest for the Origins of the Modern World" is fascinating.
I would argue that Krakatoa is the most dangerous volcano in the world, there are bigger volcanos but Krakatoa has blocked out the sun a few times, it builds up so much ash when it explodes the shock wave travels around the earth multiple times and a noise reaching 310 decibels, the loudest explosion that we know of, if you like this video watch the Krakatoa documentary, mind blowing.
I love the old school horror music!!!!!
That just put the icing on the cake for this documentary!! 😻😻😻😻😻
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...
Perhaps one lead to another. Tremendous comet impact triggers seismic event? I guess it's possible.
Russia has a massive crater too.
@@maryjones5710 hi, what is your sources, where I can read more ?
Yes, it is not inconceivable that a comet would mess up what was going on underground enough to blow up vulnerable volcanoes. But like they said the size of the comet needed for it to purely be a comet is high, and their ice cores showed volcanic remains, not space remains. Did you forget the part about the ice cores? The ice cores alone tell you which was the important, widespread event.
There is a theory now that craters were not caused by comets, but were where the Earth opened for the waters of the Great Flood of Noah to pour out. Because they have never found comet or space debris in the craters, they are always empty.
The fact that this event occurred again about six years apart immediately ruled out extraterrestrial events to me, making a volcano the obvious choice.
Yeah what about Mt Tambora? I watched something recently about it's effect. I forgot the year that was stated. I'll try find a link
@@olsim1730 What about it?
@@olsim1730 1815 i believe.
@@robertcampbell9364 yeah, I was more just mentioning as to what an effect an event like this can have.
What if the extraterrestrials had some kind of a volcano ray and that maybe it really was extraterrestrials... with a volcano ray.

It seems the religious leaders of Teotihuacan received a valuable lesson... if you take credit for the good times, you may also be blamed for the bad. I thoroughly enjoyed this documentary!
somebody should explain this to your elderly orange fascist blimp? the one with the tiny tiny little toddler hands..
Damn son. Need more documentaries like this.
I’ll never forget in the spring of 1980 when Mt St Helen’s erupted! We received ash 3000 miles away! What an incredible event! The summer seemed a lot cooler!
I was on an airliner flying out of Seattle to Europe the morning of the Mt. St. Helens eruption with my college music department. Ironically, we missed the entire event as we were in the air an hour before the eruption. I think we were somewhere over the middle of the country. We only heard about it later, after we had landed in Iceland.
This documentary retight our feet to the ground. How fragile we are. How nature is always ready to roll the dices given an opportunity to do so. How water, food, energy are vital for human to live.
From downfall of Teotihuacan, plagued Constantinople, threatened China to nurturing powers inside Europe at that time of 534 AD... All linked to volcanic activities into the indopacific islands...
Who knew tree rings could tell us so much about what happened long before us. Insane!!
The tree rings do tell more. They tell of a second eruption within ten years of 535, somewhere in central America. Probably Illopango, which brought the demise of the central American civilizatuons
The science of tree rings is voodoo science. It’s just not rooted in reality. So you find wood that had 187 rings. The tree lived 187 years. That’s all you know or will ever know. A computer programmed by a single person will just give you the results the computer was programmed to give you by that single person. He writes the program and then act surprised that he is getting the results he programmed to get. And declaring it science because it can be “tested”. It’s a joke.
Scientists. This is an old documentary and like they said tree rings being directly examined had already been around for over a decade. Based on the technology you can easily see that this documentary is from the 90s. But knowing that tree rings in general could tell you that is much older knowledge. Did you not get taught that in school? I suppose I don't know your age but I would think that you would have been taught it if you were in school anytime in (at least) the past 35-40 years.
I remember watching this doco on the ABC (Australia) very similar to the bronze age collapse
Reminds me of my teacher telling, that allthough the Dark Ages are called that name because ''we know so little about it'' , there are enough stories that suggest they were really pretty dark...
Actually the opposite. It's was the most peaceful and healthy period of the last 2k years
How about if that was the second coming of Christ and it is called dark ages because they want to hide it...
@@paulcunnane4 I hope you can confirm that... 536 was a year without summer, all over the northern hemisphere. It's hard to determine wether this is where the 'Gotterdammerung' stories come from; There might have been more, equally dramatic events.
We actually know a lot but not about Western Europe because the Barbarian Kingdoms weren't keeping records. The Eastern Romans, on the other hand, and the Persians and later Arabs did keep good records.

Notice how @ 51:12, the British author says “two thousand million” instead of “two billion”. That’s because until only relatively recently (the middle 1970s), “billion” in British English meant “million million”. Based on how old this author was when this interview was recorded, he most likely attended grammar school before the UK government officially changed the usage of “billion” to what the international standard we all now use.
That’s so interesting! I’ve noticed people using this phrase in older documentaries and always assumed it was some kind of colloquial quirk. Thank you for sharing this information :)
@@EleanoRa99I'm an old Brit and grew up saying a million million. I still say it, it shows what a billion is. Sometimes the old ways are best 😊❤
There was another 'worst year in history' not mentioned in here: the Tambora Volcano eruption in Sumbawa, Indonesia in 1815. It was the most powerful volcanic eruption recorded in human history
Quote from Wikipedia:
'Although the Mount Tambora eruption reached a violent climax on 10 April 1815,[5] increased steaming and small phreatic eruptions occurred during the next six months to three years. The ash from the eruption column dispersed around the world and lowered global temperatures in an event sometimes known as the Year Without a Summer in 1816. This brief period of significant climate change triggered extreme weather and harvest failures (and mud floods) in many areas around the world. Several climate forcings coincided and interacted in a systematic manner that has not been observed after any other large volcanic eruption since the early Stone Age.'
Similar to the one above which probably had not been researched when this about Tambora was written.
I’m thinking of the Tonga eruption last year. There may be a drastic decline in food production in the years ahead.
I find some of the evidence presented here to be a little shaky, but as a whole this is an impressive documentary. The story time line is almost too vast to follow, the subject matter is artistically held front and center as the surrounding story carrys on, filling in as you go dozens of reasons to find this theory of an earlier eruption of Krakatoa absolutely fascinating.
Catastrophism has become a bit of a hobby for me lately. If you are reading this and you are into earthquakes and volcanos and other horrific behaviors our world can get up to from time to time, do a search for the Phoenix event. Every 138 years, something resembling a comet passes through our sky and brings with it millions of tons of red dust, earthquakes, volcanos, and shifting of whole areas of earths crust. Absolutely spellbinding.
A little shaky? lol. It's pseudoscience.
@@JP-ms1dw what is your reasoning for this thinking that? Can you give examples?
@@toomanyopinions8353come on you take that serious? Near all research doesn't meet any standards and is presented like it's jaws 3. It's a classic catastrophism docu only aliens are missing.
@stripedcollar335; If you have a superior knowledge of the topics here, by all means make a video. Watching this video from start to finish fascinated me, but it must have been extremely boring for you.

The poem about the "men of Gododdin" was not written in the 6th century. It was written much later, about the 8th or 9th century. It refers to the Kingdom of Gododdin in what is now southeast Scotland. The battle was around 600 CE when the Angles defeated the Gododdin and took their stronghold "Dyn Edin" and renamed it Edinburgh.
For all our perceived troubles- Aren't we glad to be born in this era?
Not really we are more dependant on technology and lacking in hand tools and basic survival skills, in the event of any Global catastrophe the technological world is screwed only the people who are still living very basic will have any sort of advantage... and Earth is primed for a handful of disasters,, a whole bunch of things are overdue including a polar reversal

... A small plug for author Simon Winchester ... ' Krakatoa ' ... a great book (and it mentions this eruption as a predecessor to the more famous 1883 eruption)
I recently bought that book and so far am on page 49. I also have several of Ann Rule's books and plan on getting the rest of her 41 books to put in my writing desk which is over 100 years old. It was built by my great-great grandpa Sim in Perthshire Scotland. And was brought to Washington state by great-grandpa Sim. It was handed down to the eldest daughter in the family, and that is how I now have it. The top part is the bookshelf with doors, the middle is a desk that has a "door" to lay down on bars that are pulled out, and the bottom has three drawers. Everything on it is original except for the handles on the bars which are now spools from sewing thread. I got it from my mom!

Very well prepared doc-vid. The problem on my end is that the volume of the narration was hard to follow even when my laptop was at full. Switching to sub-titles helped but it was annoying.
Clearly, these are worth watching so we are subscribed, however, please do something about the volume in these presentations.
And yet, watching this on my little Xiaomi phone, 20 minutes after you posted your comment, I've had to turn my volume down to two thirds. I'd suggest the problem with low volume may be your appliance, rather than the documentary.
@@ianworley8169 Well certainly I will have my laptop checked; however, it is only this vid/doc where this volume issue has occurred. Thanks.

I had the same problem.
Very thought provoking.
Incredibly informative. Outstanding video. Thank you.
Dendrochronology would be a fascinating field of study if I werent just a wee bit ...er.. "mature" for a college student. So I'll watch documentaries like this....and find all the books on the subject I can.
Addendum: I am 36 yrs old. I was just informed that is NOT too old to go back to school. My 11 and13 year old daughters say they think it'd be cool for Mom to be in University courses.
Let me know if you decide to go, maybe I will too. 🤓
@@metamistake It's a Deal!
I know you added an addendum, but I figure I'd just add, there's been elderly post retirement people who've gone back to uni/college just for the sake of learning or having a new hobby, so as long as you have the passion for it, never give up!
I got my BS at the age of 40, you are not too old.
@@CedarSanderson My Compliments! And thank you for the encouragement. My girls have actually said they think it would be "cool" if Mom were to enroll in the University. (What Mom would pass a chance to be "cool", right?) Again, thanks.
Such a good documentary, hard to believe this was made by the channel that makes Naked Attraction these days 😁
Took a serious nose dive into the sewer, didn’t they?
What an EXCELLENT documentary! Thank you :)
Thank you is the very least I can say. Such amazing work. Mere words can not express... But, again, Thank you ever so much Superb beyond measure..
Oh my gosh - I worked at Mt St Helens after the 1980 eruption. As I talked to people, I discovered that people heard it in rings at 50 mile intervals. Friend was shaken out of her bed 150 miles away; it was experienced 350 miles away ... and the furthers I heard of was Wyoming!
We heard it in Bellingham the sunny Sunday morning!
Ataahua nga maramatanga o nga korero tawhito i nga wa o mua o te Ao, tumeke, much enjoyed documentary that has everything included in it, awesome......
One of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen😊
...and now we have seen the largest recorded volcanic eruption in January 2022. Having lived through, witnessed and experienced the eruptions of Mt St Helens in 1980 and witness to the destructive power of those events, I am reminded of (Revelation 8:8 ESV) where "a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea". Clearly, nothing far from the realm of possibility, let alone probability even to the most casual of observers. A fascinating study! Thank you!!
Fantastic documentary this should be added to school curriculum as it shows how volcanic eruptions can ripple globally and has many times in history.
So fascinating and it covered EVERY possible topic. New favorite documentary I have so many more questions now!
I studied history at Luther College. The first. TIME I heard about Denderlogist was.during Time Team.Why is it not taught this is riveting stuff
What great content! Thank you for doing this :)
The only thing missing was the recording of Krakatoa erupting in 1883. Just the sound of the explosion and pressure wave killed people. It was the creepiest noise I ever heard. Type in RUclips Search Krakatoa eruption sound.
I love the study of the Dendrites, and the pollen is very interesting as well. You can tell so much about the environment at the time the tree was growing it is amazing. So how come every one in the show is TIP TOEING AROUND the temperature and how much did it change during the seasons. Like November 1 being bright clear day and record all the pertinent information. Gathering this atmospheric data we can hope to understand the environment at that time period in history. AMEN.
We have (or had) cypress trees thousands of years old in Southern swamps, even in my area of central Louisiana, if the greedy New Yorkers haven`t came and destroyed the last of them. One bought the nearby lake I grew up on and chopped down all the ancient trees despite locals doing everything possible to stop it. Many people survived by fishing in the lake and gathering wild fruit from trees that were also clear cut to make a TULIP FARM! But there may still be ancient stumps or living trees on Catahoula Lake. I know there are trees in this area well over 3000 years old. And I`ve seen huge tree trunks exposed in creek beds buried in the ground. There are also ancient trees under the water in the Gulf of Mexico and buried deep in the deposits of the Mississippi River Valley. We drilled into ancient tree trunks over 100 feet underground making a water well nearly 200 ft deep.
@@baneverything5580 We are trying to ban everything here in Vancouver BC, Ban. Some immigrants moved into a beautiful house surrounded entirely by trees and cut them all down. City Hall immediately said there aint gonna be no more cuttin' of trees in OUR town. That house sits denuded and we all drive by it frequently (it's on a major city street) just to remind us that you think evil spirits live in trees? well, let us just show you some evil spirits.
@@baneverything5580 I've heard those trees bring insane amounts of money as flooring. Also heard they piled up there during the great flood that stripped the plains of trees. Maybe from a glacial lake flooding the world. Along with Mozoola floods . Spelling probably not right there
@@stephenhurd1489 Missoula Montana if that`s even spelled right. Some sort of Indian or Nordic word I think. I hacked into a large tree trunk uncovered by a flood in a creek. The grain was gorgeous but I disturbed a giant yellowjacket nest inside the bank of the creek near my head and had to run like hell. They were all over my cap and chased me out of the woods. I was in there hunting fatwood pine to sell for firewood kindling and never went back.
Because they need to maintain a narrative instead of being independent thinkers.Notice they kept using the term “patterns” when in reality it’s part of a larger cycle they dare not get themselves involved with.
watching this with the hopes that it makes 2023 look like a piece of cake 😂
This documentary is incredibly interesting and thorough. Awesome!
What an exciting project ! Fabulous ! Thank you so much. ❤
Wow! Very good description of this mans studies and reason for his conclusions
I photographed some amazing sunsets and saw the daytime sun look like a dim orange. This was during some wildfires in Washington State. I was in Wyoming.
During massive wildfires in California even the east coast gets red sunsets.
We only have two seasons here. High winds and fire. 🥲🥵
Nice!
During those fires we did not see the sun all summer in some places
Mind-blowing!
Just LOVED this documentary!!!
This started whilst I was "indisposed", but I love history & this is super fantastic, & I'm not even halfway through!
Very Well Done!
I first learned about Krakatoa from an episode of Mighty Mouse. “Krakatoa Katy, she ain’t no lady. 🎶
His was riveting I was glued every step of the way informative is an understatement.
The most amazing, incredible documentary I've seen 10/10.
The sound is too low.
Great documentary, WELL done.
Seems to be common sense that scientists would have examined this for over the last 50 years of computing. Soo grateful these gentlemen used common sense to show great wisdom and insight to general sciences
Thanks for sharing your insights on this topic.
Excellent documentary.
next time, when i'll think "this is the worst day of my life", i'll remember Justinian I. he had a whole decade of the bad luck :))
poor dude also contracted the bubonic plague, survived and had the outbreak named after him
On bad days I like to remind my self. "At least preying manti are not 5ft tall. "
Biden is about to destroy the planet completely.
@alex lollar And spiders are the size of St. Bernard's. Centipedes a dozen feet long. I'm quite pleased insects are the size they are.
Justinian I is a joke. He never met me. A decade ...... 🤣🤣🤣
What a fascinating video! Thank you so much.
So many un-answered questions addressed in this doco,!! I'm amazed that two such seemingly humble men have made such credible connections. It's a an eye-opener for sure! Best 'what & why' ( RE: dissapearing or demise 'mysterys') theory on past civilizations history doco I've watched. 10 out of 10! These guys dererve much praise and accolades. And as Mr.Keys says at the end... It should be far more well considered
by our experts and leaders how we could , or would cope, if such devastation should fall upon us again.
Fascinating, tying in the decline/demise of Teotihuacan. I haven't heard this theory elsewhere.
Big decline in Meso America from mid 500's to around 800 ad.. Then a long drought around 1000-1200 finished the Maya and other civilizations off The Aztec and Inca came to power around 1300 until 1st contact with Euros around 1500.
