@@TheDeepening718 are you serious? We don’t want anything they teach us nothing in our educational system. And the history they do teach us it’s just a bunch of lies. start learning things on your own. There’s a very interesting world out there, much more interesting than what I learned in high school and college.

Exactly.

😅

I totally thought I was the only one who did this, lol. Sweet dreams everyone.

Exactly

Yep. Too many don't appreciate the genes we have inherited from those who struggled through horrendous catastrophes. They lived to pass that strong gene pool on to us.

@@Julieb615why do you think you have such strong genes?

Not just me, but everyone alive today is the descendent of people who survived horrific catastrophes. We owe it to them, and to ourselves, to strive to be strong, make a mark on this world, and pass that along to offspring. I believe we should all make an effort to instill in the younger generations an appreciation of how much our ancestors survived to allow us to be here.@@Noisemansoundinsect

@@Julieb615it’s not popular to be a strong survivor nowadays, it’s popular to be a victim sadly.

and the Vatican and secret societies have kept us ignorant about the fact that indeed another reset is coming. and the WEF won't be doing it.

The U.S. has a ton of climate deniers.

They deny anthropogenic (human-caused) climate change (and "climate-denier" is much shorter than saying all of _that_ every time)

Yes and at one point they mentioned ivory that ancient people gathered. Poor elephants. Amazing some survived at all.

Every generation or time has their own struggles. I would say that mental hardship is more difficult than a physical one. When a person suffers mentally their whole body suffers. A physical suffering can be accompanied by a cheerful mind. I wouldn't downplay your own struggles by comparing yourself to someone else. Everyone is wired differently.

@@bored.in.california2111 Sorry but you're out of touch. I'm completely disabled and in pain every day likely due to antibiotic Cipro a derivative of which killed my dog. Physical suffering leads to mental suffering especially when there's no end in sight. Very little so called cheerfulness. Hope you never experience the same.

@@jackiemack8653 Physical suffering CAN be accompanied by a cheerful mind. You're talking about a physal sickness which led to depression. I'm talking about a struggle with the elements. Especially when its on a wide scale. This is often much easier to endure than individual suffering especially mental. Depression pretty much is loss of hope. It helps if you can cling onto something which leads you through every day.

@@bored.in.california2111 Thank you. Believe me I try like seeing a little squirrel out the window eating seeds or hearing my dog running around.

It's occurred a few times where the sun not only remained an ominous red, but the moon was a red shade of brown and at all times of day or night was a strong smell of smoke. Ash Wednesday (1983) was unique in my memories as it also rained flakes of gray ash for many days. Greetings South Eastern Australia.

Very interesting. That would better explain how this catastrophe was world wide.

Vesuvius, Santorini, and Krakatoa? I don't know the timelines for them.

Atleast the a/c bill was low

@@kiriuxeosa8716 To be sure. Though the real problem back then was plugging in, because the only source of electricity was lightning. 🌩 Oh, now that I think about it, they DID have wind powered AC. 🤔

Bull, it was the climate change deniers and their apathy towards the environment.

That might not be very far fetched. Interesting idea. Btw, being norwegian I know what you're talking about

Nah we all know it starts with Surtr duh

Bo Gräslund(Swedish archaeologist) agrees with you about this

Ragnarok is the end of the world, the gods killed each other and left. Thor (literal lightning) came down with the bulls head (mars) to catch jormungandr (the mountain ranges). And that's not even Ragnarok, just one time Thor was acting up. I think the planets (gods) were a lot closer back then. Look up the aboriginal petroglyphs in Australia and compare them to plasma discharge. They saw that stuff in the sky. Also compare the scar on mars to the pitting of welders (plasma discharger) on metal ( you'll have to get a magnified image.)

And George RR Martin's ASOIF.

Buy his book "Catastrophe". I have it, read it a long time ago. This is along the lines of was there really an Atlantis, and if so what happened to it; The eruption of Santorini island in the Med.

Yes. I loved the UNs definition of climate change saying mostly by man's usage of fossil fuels etc. Man doesn't create volcanic eruptions.

@@jackiemack8653 Yeah especially since most of the biggest climate change occurred before humans even existed.

@@aspenrebel yeah. I was thinking. Where were the climate change activists when this was going on? LOL

@@jackiemack8653 Probably hanging around Haight-Ashbury smoking pot.

Wouldn't it be grand if world leaders were required to have similar levels of perseverance, intelligence, and work ethic, all joined with absolutely no desire for fame (for its own sake), or riches? Dare to dream.

Thanks, Professor Numbskull.

Wiping out humanity as a species would take some pretty drastic events. Devastating modern civilization and resulting in the deaths of billions would be easy-peasy.

​@@colinsmith1495 If Ebola or HIV/AIDS ever mutates and becomes airborne, humanity could very well be wiped out. It is a long shot, such disease don't just mutate to become airborne, but it isn't out of possibility.

@@memezoffuckery3207 we almost died out about 50,000 years ago

We haven't progressed much in the last 20 years...

​@@MH3GLexactly. We have a parasite on society holding us back.

​@@Xirrious what is it?

@@Didleeios88 the political class, they've been robbing the middle class for decades. Literally. Not leftwing vs right-wing, both of the sides do the same thing. They produce nothing, and take our money. Basically they steal our capital from us and collect it as profit, and by capital I mean human capital, in the form of skills and knowledge. Inflation is a hidden tax caused by their infinite money printers, then we are taxes on top of that, taken to war over so the military industrial complex can profit, sold shitty food so we stay sick and buy drugs so pharma profits, we give away all our data with social media so that Google and FB profit, by directly advertising to us products we don't need so someone else profits again, on and on it goes man. The tech the government has is way beyond what they give to the public. Public funded research is hidden from us, which should be illegal. I mean I could keep going. But the reason nothing has improved in 20 years is the leadership doesn't want it to, they just want to consolidate their wealth and power. It's a perfectly natural drive of human nature but we have been fooled into believing politicians have somehow transcended this hard, cold fact of human nature. Unfortunately that isn't true.

It's a meme nowadays! 😂😂😂

Climate Science has been deliberately corrupted. This is a fact!!

I love being reminded that only climate change in the present is caused by human activity.

​@ManScoutsofAmerica it's true though

Basically if the United Nations takes a position on something, it's safe to take the opposite position.

You might be a kali fan, check her out. 😅

It doesn't really sound much like a joke.

Based on the limited available info about those impressive and fascinating people, it doesn’t appear they joked about much lol.

The Aztecs killed tons of people, all with the excuse they were keeping the sun alive. When the sun appeared to be failing, I bet they killed even more. But people eventually decided it wasn't working and abandoned the altars.

The Aztecs weren't around that long ago... but they were known to be fascinated by solar eclipses, when the sun disappears. Teotihuacan, and also the Mayans, were definitely affected by this series of eruptions.

The Aztec Empire flourished in central Mexico during the Postclassic period of Mesoamerican history, from approximately A.D. 1325 to 1521. They aren’t as old as most ppl think they are.

You might as well have said you have a strong suspicion that Milton write Paradise Lost.

aged extremly well

I always wondered how the Dark Ages came about. Now I'm getting the answer to my query in a way I never expected.

The plague of hatred,fear and ignorance. Once again. And this time it is strictly for profit. I truly do see a hunger games scenario for the world. Another cataclysmic climatic event is just going to finish us off.

@@MH3GL I was thinking the same thing, it was a time of darkened minds and darkened sky.

@@MH3GL I use to wonder how Rome actually fell, because the lessons in school weren't truly satisfying. Now we know lol

@@AR-ym4zh your mom

Great way to learn about one of the defining events of modern history.

😂

Impossible to fall asleep to this with those random alarm clock beeps every 5 minutes

Yeah. Just like it was heard for the first time. A gift that keeps on giving!

I had some brainwashed climate clown try to tell me its strictly CO2 that changes earth's climate. Never mind the many examples in recorded history of volcanoes crashing the climate, then there's the pre-historic evidence recorded in the earth. Even when he was presented with the volcanic eruptions causing extinctions, mass death and geographical changes, he said "Nope a volcano doesn't put out enough CO2 to change the climate". Some people should not be able to vote or reproduce.

@Janitor Queen did you say you are currently getting yellow dust in your home? There may be an industry of some sort near you not filtering their smokestack correctly. There was a neighborhood in my town that got a whole bunch of toxic dust all over their gardens and homes because a local industry (metal works) didn't spend the money to filter the exhaust. Now they can't plant vegetables in their gardens.

I saw that on my car 2 months ago!

@@sandrahartford9361 could it have been Pine pollen?

@@k8eekatt No, this was different, no trees around me.

"A follow-up study that analyzed tree rings and a layer of volcanic ash preserved in a distant glacier placed a new date of 431 A.D. on the Ilopango eruption-a century before the period of global cooling. The analysis suggests that while the eruption devastated the local landscape, it likely had little impact on global climate."

One thing I’ve learned after years of watching all these documentaries is that they raise great questions but then they’re like 90% BS .

Ken Woleltz published a rather fascinating paper postulating that the Dark Ages were caused by the massive eruption of Krakatoa during this time frame. Six tons of ash and dust were blown into the atmosphere - a global 'nuclear' winter. Such conditions would have caused vermin to breed prodigiously in the darkened environment, leading to the Black Plague. Isn't history cool?

​@@PrincessHoneyBadger

@@shutupavi or are they......

And guess what? There were no factories, cars, industry, or overpopulation to blame.

Yes. I'm fascinated by how natural disasters and climatic shifts impact social development in world history.

Most documentaries usually push an agenda, especially those dealing with the weather.

Well said , I agree This is food for thought

it is the tictoc generation, they want fast results, companies are like that too, more than ever.

it's because this documentary is almost 25 years old.

@@wout123100Reverse those. TikTok is training younger generations in how they consume information, paired with parents who aren’t engaged in helping them learn. It’s not what they want. It’s all they know.

Your analogies of catastrophic events that are possibly/likely tied to other catastrophes tells me that you are an astute and introspective thinker. I believe that you noticed a probable pattern that I am embarrassed to admit did not occur to me. Dear stranger: I am impressed and that doesn't come to me easily. Again: I am impressed with your capacity of reason and attention to human history related to such. WOW!

The plague and comet occurred simultaneously

@@goddessflowers146 You OK Sweetie???

You fine as hell.

it makes no sense really. The pieces of wood they were showing don't have 7000 rings on them, so how do they know when the tree started to produce rings?? And it is ludicrous beyond belief to think the rings from trees in China can be compared to rings from Ireland, for example. Totally different local conditions.

@@EJ-zj7tt You think too linear. Look up dendrochronology before replying.

Multiple rings can form in one year. It is not 100% accurate. wet and dry periods or warm and cold periods can create multiple rings in one year. The oldest trees alive are about 4000 years old + -

​@EJ-zj7tt You very clearly didn't watch the part of the video where they explained dendochronology in detail. Quite embarrassing to criticise a video you haven't watched, and a scientific method you obviously haven't looked into at all.

There is a variety that lives in the sierra Nevada with individuals dating some 7000 to years. Quite small for such an age. ​@@johnowens5342

Good science. Rather than looking for confirmation of a previously determined hypothesis, the process accumulated data and conducted analysis. I'm sure many had a hunch, however the mark of good science is to delay the hypothesis without rushing to previously held ideas. Some studies stop when the research points to one's biased theory. Impressive.

No. It's editing. These fields are separate disciplines, with anomalies that were discovered separately. The anthropologists who read about the "dark skies and yellow powder that could be scooped up" would have immediately recognized it was a volcano. The arborists that studied the tree rings would have looked for reports of problems around that time. The geologists would have already known there was no a scattering of rare earth elements at that time. Basically the first 2/3 of every documentary that proposes a mystery, is all filler that has been arranged to appear like detective work is being followed to conclusions. In reality, the events were already known and producers just look for a way to fill time between commercials.

@@lemonstealinghorsdoeuvre pbs had commercials?

@@deathbydeviceable first off, I don't know if this is PBS. Second, not all docs are only on PBS, and my comment does specify more documentaries than just this, it includes all "mystery" docs. Finally, yes. Yes it does. Or at least it did the last time I saw it. The commercials are either for advertising later shows, advertising their donors, like the bill and Melinda Gats foundation, the Arthur P Sloan foundation, and viewers like you, or its just them begging you for money with a telethon.

@@lemonstealinghorsdoeuvre that's all in-between shows. I've never seen commercials during the show, or bill and Melinda paying pbs money commercials. It's funny what people will make up to suit their agenda no matter how small of an argument 🤣

According to the democrats it’s people

I have been following the studies that 'Suspicious Observers' on YT report on. These studies show that the cycles of the Sun (along with other cycles that I am not informed enough to comment on) cause volcanic and quake activity. It would be interesting to see if the Sun was entering the same part of the cycle, at that time, as it is now. We are seeing the Sun's activity ramp up right now, and we are also seeing volcanic and quake activity follow. I don't know or understand enough about it to explain the details, but it is compelling, and I am seeing those studies predict correctly, the rise in volcanic and quake activity that we are seeing now.

There is a reason why it was called "The Dark Ages".

Make you Wonder about y3 days of darkness but I know this ant it but just thought I and makes you think on were we are now in life with this old earth

That time line is a lie. It happened during 522 and 523. That is the reason the calendar was changed around 525 AD. They throw everybody off because the next big one comes in 2040. 2012 mayan end date is actually 2040.

Agreed, naturally.

@@pascualbencosme9958the Mayan calendar was wrong my friend the world didn’t end

Yes!!! I dozed off watching it when it first aired & STILL recall the bizarre dreams!!! Finally a kindred human who gets this!! ☺🤣👍🏽

There have been other catastrophic climate events from volcanos. This certainly appears the worst, but there was the year the thames froze

Ancient memories or dreams?

some people refer to it as "the year without summer"

I wished I dreamed

Yes, the time frame is consistent with the results of this event in other areas of the world. People who are malnourished die from simple diseases that well nourished people easily survive. The death of an entire group of people under those circumstances is not unexpected.

So say we all!

That's not true or good draining through the blood

"Eighty thousand years of natural selection, coming through" Seriously though, now we have morons who can't string together a cogent sentence thinking they know more than the world's best scientists, so I'm sure we're fiiiiiiiiine.

We humans have short memories . During the tsunamis that hit Japan after an earthquake, one town found stone markers up on a hill . Carved into them was instructions to never build below the markers . The water went above the markers . Others had instructions that I’d the ground shook to get above the markers asap. They were trying to warn future people of a major danger . But , we humans often view our ancestors with skepticism and contempt . We think we know everything and our ancestors were stupid . They were not

My favourite example of this is the building of a new estate in the fork of a river. The developers were told terrible idea it would flood they dismissed it said they'd solved the drainage issue. Three years later we had a minor flood nothing catastrophic just a rise in river levels that happened now and then. The entire estate flooded in the first week, I think more work was needed on those drainage issues

Tree ring this d!$%

Really great work it’s amazing how much I’m clueless about the history of our planet very interesting 🤔

I know right. I have anxiety over the sun letting go of a solar flare and hitting the earth.

@@bsaxton6400 geez, never thought of that. Im just gonna try not to think about that too much lol

Slu%

@@bsaxton6400 A powerful sun storm wouldn't heat cook the Earth. The only recorded major sun storm is the Carrington Event of 1859. Massive electromagnetic waves would hit like a tsunami. Geomagnetic storms would flow through the air and ground, frying ungrounded electronics, knocking out power over vast areas. Satellites would be disrupted by the magnetic turbulence. Anything reliant on electromagnetism might not work anymore, like radio signal. If the repeaters on undersea cables fail, total internet collapse may occur. Solar flares only last hours, but can have series that go on for weeks. However, Antarctic ice has evidence of a supermassive sun storm in AD 993 called the Miyake Event. All the previous effects, but stronger, and going on for months. The loss of electricity and the internet wouldn't do much directly to humans. Its mostly the side effects of loss of the infrastructure that would be damaging. Subsistence farmers with manual wells would be fine.

It wont be that bad. There would be epic Aurora Borealis / Aurora Australis. If you had any idea how far away the sun is. You would not think it poses an alarming threat. At the end of the day, we inhabit a radioactive rock. Hurtling through the milky-way galaxy, its center a supermassive black hole. Orbiting a giant unshielded nuclear-fusion reactor. Protected from it's deadly rays. And from other flying rocks. By nothing except thin air and puffy white clouds. It works pretty good.

Agreed.

How did the Tonga Tonga eruption compare?

There was an eruption of a supervolcano in Central America at the same time. Probably the two combined.

No not krakatoa. More like what burried the pyramids in Mexico and displaced the underground water source to salt water forcing the Mayans to migrate north getting frost bite on their feet and getting the name black foot. The Olmacs were buried as well in that yukatan peninsula. Think about it .

@@Davidsavage8008 don’t need to think about anything.....is there evidence or not? Prove it. They share evidence here.
