Scientists have discovered that 536 AD was for humanity incredibly heavy when a mysterious fog covered all of Eurasia.
Historian Michael McCormick, who led the work on the Science project of the human past, “believes that this year was worse than the plague of 1349 years that killed half of Europeans or a deadly epidemic flu in 1918, which killed about 100 million human.
As a result of the work, a group of scientists identified the most difficult year in the history of human life. Byzantine historian Procopius of Caesarea is sure that in 536 the countries of Europe, the Middle East and Asia was covered by a thick twilight veil, which is 18 months old blocked the sunlight.
In that year, the temperature in the summer period fell to 1.5-2.5 degrees Celsius, which was a record for the past 2300 years. The cold killed crops, and the population began to die out in large numbers from hunger and cold. IN China in those days had heavy snowfalls.
According to Irish chronicles, crop failures haunted humanity until 539, and after another two years, the bubonic plague erupted in Roman Empire. It is possible that this epidemic could be a consequence of a previous environmental disaster. Unfortunately, historians did not indicate (or did not find out) how many people suffered from this terrible cataclysm, probably it was hundreds millions.
As a result of lengthy research, scientists finally established the reason for this mysterious veil. Samples were investigated. ice taken from the Swedish glacier, and it turned out that in 536 in Iceland’s most powerful volcanic eruption, thrown ash which covered all of Eurasia. Then, in 540 and 547, another two eruptions that hit the economy for the next hundred years Of Europe.
