Biographics KNIGHTS TEMPLAR video please.
In Denmark, they had to release prisoners because they ran out of people.
536 AD "the darkest time in history" I'd love to see a video on it....
Wit ice melting,;it unknown what is released?
You remind me of a history teacher haha I love listening you're perfect British accent
I love how Simon talks about the Black Death like it was sentient.
In a sense it was
he's running out of people. much like the plague did
I don't like that. Somebody might think it was.
@@gnumann64 Me too. Although he's sarcastic many religious people won't get that vibe..For example him saying that all you had to do to get rid of the plague is praying is dangerous.. That's something they love to hear cause it hardens their belief in the imaginary grandpa from the sky who watches what you eat and with whom you have sex with.. Even the conspiracy theory nuts could deduce that he really believes in Illuminati and how that is a valid theory that the rest of us "fools" don't want to admit cause we "haven't explored the real information" on the internet..
Nice word though.
I’m glad these comments are filled with people who enjoy history as much as I do.
@WithAStick AngryWhiteMan Hate to break it to you, but this isn't going to help you survive a plague dude,
I really dislike people who discount history and learning history as pointless
I am pleased to see that Simon has been able to connect the Bolt to the Knut with this story. Even if I did get here late! 😁🧐
@@Cj-xt6tv me too.

Hi
Underrated joke lol
The novel Inferno by Dan Brown features someone with a similar ideal to Thanos, wanting to majorly reduce the world's population to solve humanity's major problems. In the book, the villain is specifically inspired by the story of the Black Death, believing that its population culling of Europe is what allowed for the age of enlightenment to follow.
For those of you interested in knowing...the Black Death was even more twitted than you imagined.
Actually, when a flee is infected by Yersinia pestis, the bacteria develops in its gut and creates a biofilm preventing it from absorbing nutrients. Therefore the flee becomes hungrier and hungrier. This means it tries to feed much more and kill its rat hosts much faster and is even more attracted to larger prey like cats, dogs or humans...
Yikes
The biofilm plug is more likely to form when the average temperature is lower. Thus, volcanic winter after 536 AD triggered an outbreak of plague, famine contributed as well.
@@joanhuffman2166 and also explains why it doesn't seem to have affected much hotter climates
I’ve heard this story so many times, but with Simon narrating, it felt like the first. Thanks for all that you do! 👍
Ain't nothing like the first time .
I love how he talks about the plague like its a person.

@@ElegyVio 👎
Thank You. I really enjoy your videos here. I want to add this about Norway. I am a Norwegian. The Black Death did not turn out so well here. It killed off 2/3 of the population and left our country in ruins. Up to the plague Norway was on the height of its power. And in the late 1200 Magnus Lagabøte (Lawmender) gave us the first laws that gave some rights to poor people, workers and women as well. Some of these are still in our constitution. But after the plague, in 1380, we came under Danish rule. Generally referred to as «The 400 year night». That was kinda harsh, until 1814 when Denmark that had sided with Napoleon had to give it up. We were then «given» to Sweden. And in 1905 we broke free, very peacefully. So, we can say that the effects of the plague lasted this long. From 1349 until 1905.
Thank you again. This is good history.
It takes 23 days for first kill and killed 2/3 of the population. Hmm.
Thank you for sharing, that’s fascinating. Makes you wonder how advanced Norway could’ve been had it not been for the plague.
Iceland was another Scandinavian country that suffered horribly from the Black Death, despite being a far-flung, semi-isolated island. Even the Faroes weren’t safe.
70% of a population wiped out in a few months that is insane. Imagine that happening now the world would break down. Its hard to wrap my mind around that concept
I was thinking about that. Think what would happen if that many garbage men, power company workers, coal miners, cell network workers, oil/gas workers, MORTICIANS, doctors, nurses, cops, firemen, etc were just gone in a matter of weeks. I can't even imagine the chaos. We wouldn't need zombies for it to be hell. Think I'd rather be among the dead in that case, survivors likely wouldn't be surviving for long.
OGSpaceCadet fr atleast people then knew how to survive off the land now most folks dont even know how to start a fire. The social upheavals would be insane
It could actually be MUCH worse if it happened now, because of how interconnected and reliant we are on others. Sure, our medicinal research is far superior but before something like a cure or containment could occur, vast segments of the population would be beyond help. Not to mention we can travel WAY further than our predecessors, thus spreading the plague further and faster.
@@venicec3310 Yeah, there were few specialists then, except perhaps doctors, and if they were having any effect it was making things worse.
Don't worry, it will happen again
Bonus fact: First written traces for quarantine as we know today date to 27th July 1347 in Dubrovnik (then called Ragusa) where city council ordered 40 days waiting period before people, ships and live stock could enter the city. And that's where the name came from old Venetian word for 40 days or ''quarantina''.
Interesting! Thanks for sharing.
Dubrovnik is my town!
Marechal Zolotoy they really really didn’t. Their cities were a Pig sty that promoted the spread of disease. They literally threw those feces out of their windows

Please do a biographic on the Spanish influenza
I've read that not so many would die today because a lot of them died from dehydration but I'd like to see what Simon and the research team would say...
Yeah Spanish flu would be entertaining
@@gendeb9666 You read wrong.
Spanish flu was bird flu. Testing was done on tissue samples.
I should add, MODERN testing on old samples
That Black Death dude has the most creepiest history in the world
Really? There are far more cataclysmic diseases in our history. People are so limited in there history lessons that they know the Auschwitz but, not the gulags Romans but, not Mesopotamia Every European Empire but, not a single African Empire. If you want creepy and horrible read lectures from the University's that are not censored because, they are to gruesome for our history books.
New Jones Africa sucks
Max Dejean
No it doesn't
New Jones
What cataclysmic disease would you say is the worst?
@@AmbyJeans I would never answer things like the best the worst facts and proof. History is a science and when we learn more we changed the previous believes we had about it. So to answer things like that is ridiculous for a scientist because, they know how much they don't know. In my field of work it's not about having the right answers but, its about asking the right questions. I will not give answers if I don't have the required knowledge or post things like fun fact blabla. If you want me to name a few that we know of but, most people haven't heard of I be happy to help. The only thing is I'm not a native English speaker and I'm dyslectic. If that don't bother you I'm always ready to share knowledge between each other.
The irony is, as Simon is describing this, patient 0 was suffering with Covid 19. And we all know what happened next.
Patient 0 was likely long before this video.
No, what happened?
Bahahahaha
I've already lost the memory
Very fitting during these covid19 times...
And I could listen to simon talk about anything his voice is so calming
You should listen to his business blaze. Completely different personality. I love them all.
Only the black death was actually deadly though
Black death makes Covid look like a bad joke.
Thank you for including the Asian and Middle Eastern parts of the story. Outside of 'it started in China' I never heard of the devastation it caused in the 'East' until sometime in the 2000s
Same for Africa. That continent is normally excluded.
The abandoned towns in Nigeria still exist. No one has ever wanted to live in the olde houses.
Thats because Europeans are big mouths
@@lindaarrington9397 Matter of where the most sources remain. In Africa, writing was far less common. And what was written down, was often thrown away by the conquerors, be it other tribes or invading europeans.
Also workethics of later "archeologists" were not very usefull. They just went to places to take the pretty and valuable stuff, ignoring or even destroying whatever information was present in their ignorance.
Europe just has a lot of stuff remaining that's still intact. So it's far easier to find detailed reports. China also has a lot. As do some middle eastern countries. Sadly, the middle east is currently not always the best place to work as an archeologist. And woth groups like IS activaly destroying historical sites, it only becomes more difficult.
Big fan of your videos but even more of your work ethics - It's just crazy to me the dedication you have for all your YT channels and how well you stick to schedule, always cranking out content. I can't go 4 weeks without slipping :)

That was the most entertaining and chilling videos I've seen on Biographics. The way Simon talks about the pathogen as a cold and calculating psychopath was an excellent choice. Please do the plague of children like that too!
I never thought rattata and raticate could have this very deadly effective moves...
What an interesting way to frame a major historical event. It worked so well for the video, and for Biographics' style of presentation. Wonderful writing as well. The video was as captivating as a really good novel, and I loved the whole thing. Even if this might be a one-off for Halloween, I would love to see more historical event videos framed this way.
The black death is my favorite person in history

Fraztov oh man, COVID19 is not gonna have such a massive effect as this did back then ... or impact on population percentages. Don’t be surprised tho, if it kills similar a number of people, directly or as a result of health systems collapsing worldwide.
r/woosh
@@juanuribe9198 the closer comparison to COVID-19 cannot be the plague, 1 is a virus with the ability of mutating, the other is a bacteria that does not have this ability. Second the hygenical condition of the middle age were atrocious, not to mention the absence of actual medicines let alone antobiotics or vaccines. We do have the most of what middle age folks didn't have. The closest comparison to COVID-19 pandemic still infact the Spanish flu, not by lethal potential, but by "behavior" of the virus itself. Sure as hell if the whole human race does not take a step back from the insanity of profit at all cost, putting the benefit of the very few above the benefit of the many...well...then COVID-19 could become the 21st century black death, obliterating the human kind. A coronavirus literally mutates with the sole goal of surviving and as long as we are more worried about " when the pubs will open again" then " the virus will have wide open doors to ravage across the globe pretty much unchallenged.
I just wonder how many people back then refused to heed warnings or declared it a fake disease, etc.
several cases have been found in california in 2020...just saying.

Ring around the rosie, pocket full of posies. Ashes, ashes, all fall down!
Ring around a roses, pocket full of posies (to keep the infection away) a’toshoo a’tishoo (sneezing) all fall down. Dead.
The "ring" (I'd learned) was the round, pink discolouration on the thigh. Posies were flowers used to cover the stench of rotting corpses. Ashes was the cremated bodies. All fall down was people dying.
Yep..origin of the children's rhyming game..
Alan Horowitz . In England we always sang a’tishoo, not ashes, which is new to me. This may be a corruption of the original of course, since American English often retains earlier meanings from which English English has diverged. I’ve heard of plague pits but I’ve never heard of bodies being burnt, although this might have happened of course.
To your point, the past participle of "got" in American English is still "gotten," as in "it had gotten too cold." In England, "gotten" no longer exists. That said, it's at least agreed upon that "Ring Around the Rosie" is based in Black Plague. I personally learned that it did, in fact, come from children who could do nothing more than mock the horrors that were going on. To think that this has been the very first communal dance that children still learn gives me a chill. I did it as a toddler as do the children I've met today.
"trapped in purgatory, a lifeless object alive" ok I smell another Slayer reference
NOW YOU’RE STANDING IN MY KILLING FIELD!
Different song but by far my favorite Slayer line.
I like that he doesn't just focus on this effect on Europe. This is quite unusual in videos on the Black Death.
It's interesting how employers back then had to increase their wages after the pandemic to attract people from a smaller labor pool, and how the exact same thing happened in the states during Covid.
The fast food restaurants near me went from offering $8/hr to 14$/hr over the course of a year. It was funny watching the sign out front with that number climb a dollar or two every few months, I suspect because they were trying to find the absolute least they could offer people to get them to come work for them but hadn't quite hit that number yet.

Most pirate stuff is a literary re-writing thanks to Robert Louis-Stephenson and a couple of campy 1950's movies, carried through to today in even more campy movies.

Pirates are fake
Author Arnaldo Teodorani, amazing job writing the script. Personifying the Black Death as a military conqueror was brilliant. You're a legend!
Thanks WildRhov, your comment is much appreciated. The inspiration came from Edgar Allan Poe’s story ‘The Mask of the Red Death’ in which a physical embodiment of the plague crashes the party of a corrupt aristocrat.
Simon, I have got to say your narration and writing is superb. I've watched many videos and documentaries on this topic, but you have a sophisticated air of someone knowledgeable and not sounding like a History Channel narrator trying to pass on his message like an inflamed gossip mill. I've been watching quite a few of your Biographics and Geographics works, and I have to say you have a very even voice, very even and balanced provision of information and always, keep your sponsorship's bits short, to the point and over quickly to get back to why we decided to click on this video in the first place. Thank you so much for your research, writing and professing the findings of everything, everyone, everywhere.
"And I, Agnolo di Tura del Grasso, buried my five children with my own hands . . . And so many died that all believed it was the end of the world."

Some of my favorite historical paintings are of the Black Death genre. Idk why but as a kid I would look at those paintings for hours noticing all the tiny details. The contorted faces, scenic mayhem and just general misery painstakingly brought to life on every corner of the page. I was a weird kid 🤷🏽♀️

“It could of came from China”, why am I not surprised
It could potentially or most likely came from Mongolia or the steppe nomads because the steppe delicacy is Marmot, and to this day the Bubonic outbreak happens in the remotest places of Mongolia.

It doses make you wonder, if we didn’t have the medical expertise we have today the covid could have wiped out a huge population just like the plague did, but it could have been due to the plague that helped scientists to learn new techniques that stopped the covid from being a lot worse, ironic isn’t it. ?
