- A climatic catastrophe rocked the Earth in A.D. 535, causing two years of darkness, famine, drought and disease. Was it a comet? An asteroid? A volcano?
Written records from China, Italy, Palestine and many other countries suggest a huge catastrophe blighted the world in 536 AD. But the cause of it has been uncertain. Archaeologist David Keys reveals that a volcano is to blame for the Dark Ages of famine and plague that shaped the world order of today.

The amount of different fields of study needed to verify the cause is astounding!
I'm glad that I'm 75 years old and have entered the winter of my life. And had the privilege of reaching old age which is denied to many. Because Mother Nature will eventually change the world and civilization as we know it.
Stop with the ‘CC’ emotional diarrhea. Just another religious apocalyptic prediction
@@J56609Yes another. If there were one prediction like it then it could be dismissed, but many it’s probably correct.
Mankind with all of its faults has become to big for its britches.
Yes yes, we know, you boomers had it all.
I agree.
I've watched this so many times and it never gets old. Such a fascinating amount of work by David Keys and Mike Bailey.
Very good documentary. Evidence based. No unprofessional claims to get more views. Really good ❤
It's outdated. Simply looking up the Wikipedia page for the Volcanic Winter of 536 shows we have already eliminated Krakatoa as a potential volcano that caused the 536 eruptions. Furthermore, equatorial volcanoes are not required for volcanic winters. Okmok II and Anakchiak in the Aleutian Island chain (Alaska) caused the two most massive volcanic winters in the last 10,000 years.
@@mateobarrett6829 thank you for this comment. The whole documentary sounded fun to me, but I sensed a very strong 'wanting' of fit things into this timeframe. I'm sure there was a very bad summer once and people acrossth e earth wrote about it, but I found little evidence to all those bad things happening and the 'old' krakatoa explosion.
now if we could just eliminate the spooky soundtrack.
As a botanist, nature & conservation enthusiasts and history lover...I became immersed in this episode
How large of an eco scape did the building you live in destroy Mr.Ecology?
The 536 CE volcanic winter could definitely have contributed to western Europe's cultural and technological regression into the ''Dark Ages'' in the early medieval period. Such a mega-catastrophe could have been the final nail in the coffin of an already severely crippled civilization like Rome was at the time. Though, some civilizations in other parts of the world managed to ride it out ok.
It really makes you think of the fact that modern civilizations are just as vulnerable as ancient ones!
More so really...modern civilization is overwhelmingly dependent in nature compared to the primarily survival focused nature of our ancestors.
The way things are going we may find out soon enough.
We are much more dependent on technology now. If a disaster severely impacts that we could be in for a rough ride.
The way we are dependent on machines that need filtration already can you imagine the issues with that alone...
It started with the collapse of the Western Roman Empire which controlled and maintained all of the infrastructure of their conquered territories. All the trade networks and the riches motivating it were immediately disrupted and divided up locally. Then add in this event and it probably delayed the recovery of Eurasia for a long time.
History is awesome
Depends. Not all history is awesome.
I mean it is the most interesting topic to study by far.

You speak the truth Altouri.
Few documentaries are so beautifully arranged and with tangible evidence. All explanations have their scientific approach and nothing just for impressions. Well done!
Tsar Bomba: I produced the largest mushroom cloud.
Ancient Krakatoa: Hold my vodka.
Hold my krak.
It wasn't Krakatoa, but somewhere in North America
Finally knowing what happened to the aztec/Mayan city is so pleasing to me
Scientists now think that it was the explosion of Mount Tambora, another gigantic volcano in the Indonesian archipelago, right next to the equator, which caused this catastrophe, not Krakatoa.
Tambora was 1815 not 540
A 2013 paper by Southon, Mohtadi, Pol-Hoz, and de Ricardo did not find any evidence of an Indonesian eruption around 536.
@@jamescobban857 It could have been a Volcano anywhere in the tropics.
@@mobyhuge4346volcanoes erupt more than once
This documentary is so outdated it's premise that equatorial volcanoes are needed to cause volcanic winters is also wrong. Okmok II and Anakchiak in the Aleutian islands (alaska) caused the two largest volcanic winters in the last 10,000 years, with atmospheric sulfuric levels far beyond even that of 536.
Would love to see detailed video like this one about the toba eruption the one that almost made us go extinct and created a huge bottle neck within our species. Very interesting.
This was a quality video to watch. Sometimes these types of videos you lose interest mid video. I kinda was left wanting another 30 mins of this one.
The old history channel docs that would keep you around because they'd tease a cgi rendering of a catastrophe

I'm board
@@mehrimazdeh4263 lol 😂 I'm still board
Apropos of nothing, but Krakatoa is the best name for a volcano.
That name Krakatoa is in English-Westren. In Indonesian name is Gunung Krakatau = Mount Krakatoa. I live here near Krakatau.
The best name is Volcanie McVolcanoface.
Son of Krakatoa takes the prize.
I heard and felt the Tonga volcanic explosion here in Australia, tonga is over 3000kms away.. it made for some wet and wild rain events afterwards plus fantastic sunsets..
My husband and i watched some video about volcanos three days before tunga happened. They spoke of hunga tunga! Three days later, boom!
Felt in New Zealand too. The whole house jerked like a car had hit it.
@@bunnytail1370GeologyHub?
It injected 150 million tonnes of water vapour into the stratosphere,and likely increased global temperature by 1 degree will take years for the water to dissipate. So I read anyway.
One thing to note about Krakatoa: Krakatoa is well known for its phreatic explosions - basically, steam explosions. These explosions are known to be extremely noisy and extremely destructive because when water encounters something as superheated as magma, it expands quickly. Therefore pressures within the volcano, already critical, simply cause the mountain to burst, like the failure of a boiler 15 miles across.
That being said, Krakatoa isn't known for pushing out the gigantic amounts of ash this would need.
Its nearby brother Tambora, however, is a different story. It did so in 1815, which caused the infamous Year Without A Summer. If Tambora had a similar kind of eruption? You better believe it would be destructive enough to split a large island.
And to think, it's still nothing compared to the eruptions of Lake Toba, Taupo, or Yellowstone.
there where actually three volcanoes trying to prevent the gargantuan explosion that pretty much ended that island, Krakatoa, Tambora and Rakata, also.... we now know WHY it happened......... turns out that sandstone walls doesn't make for a good barrier at all aganist Saltwater..... sooooooo yea....
So kind of like a mountain sized pressure cooker?
Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them
The bible tells you if ya can understand it"...
Atmospheric comit debris wormwood and burning of the forest on its approach you first be caught in its outer debres field...
7 The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down on the earth. A third of the earth was burned up, a third of the trees were burned up, and all the green grass was burned up.
A volcano then went off, probably several one in the ocean, near ring of fire' from the cosmic resonation and gravitational pull between the two large body's in space and in the earth.
8 The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood, 9 a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
Then the passing of the fireball now goes by the earth but olny close' to the atmosphere and mutates the soil and water with thurmal energy' but it never hit the earth'.
10 The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water- 11 the name of the star is Wormwood.[a] A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.
By now there's so much smoke and ash in the atmosphere the sun is blocked out
12 The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark. A third of the day was without light, and also a third of the night.
A intresting story because the way human mind works they believe that it would to be one or the other comit or a volcano...
According to history it was accully perfectly discribinge both happening" or a reaction of the two'...
@@goosee7776go watch some cocomelon or something more attuned to the innate and lacking intellect you were given. Or don't who cares anymore.
@@itwasaliens to put it simply, yes.
The fact that there's a "Climate Change context warning" is just hilarious.
Why?
Yes. 🤣It shows that Google uses algorithms to assign context warnings to videos and that it has a predetermined list that triggers the warnings. Natural climate change happens everyday and has nothing to do with human activities. In other words, Google has decided that no one needs to watch the content or determine context of the videos. That makes the warnings bogus. Oh well, it's their management that made that choice which also shows that they really aren't capable of being the arbiters of truth.
Because it’s f*****g hilarious

Nice!
Very interesting episode! I watched documentaries about Roman Empire of that period, but never before from this point of view! Thanks a lot for this documentary!
Wow.. every once in a while u find a documentary that really catches your attention and u learn so much from watching it 😊
There's been research in the past couple of decades showing that around 540-541 CE, the Ilopango volcano in El Salvador also had a massive eruption. So roughly, in the space of about a decade, the planet experienced 2 super eruptions on either side of the globe. One has to wonder if some event, such as a solar coronal mass ejection (CME) may not have destabilized the earth's magnetic field, causing huge amounts of magma & gases from the mantle to rise to the surface on opposite sides of the planet. In THAT case, the events of the mid-6th century would be the SUN'S fault.
Both situated near the Equator, perfectly situated for global distribution.
@@davidfantaci3173 The century before the 530s had seen a dramatic drop of global temperatures, which would continue still for about another 200 years. This means that our planet's crust will have been contracting, at least in its uppermost layers. I could imagine that along the equator, such a contraction will more quickly than elsewhere produce outstanding eruptions. Along the equator, temperatures are altogether unusually stable. Thus, you there might obtain especially few possibilities to let off steam, for longer periods, because you there for especially long times won't obtain enough temperature-driven movements of the rock to assist volcanoes in breaking out. Magma vents of the region, during such periods, will get clogged, ever more. When you then finally obtain a stronger disruption, like that long-term cooling of the middle to later first millennium AD, a potential for especially big outbreaks may have built up.
@@davidfantaci3173 Yes indeed, friend, with the ash & gases able to basically cover the planet. Also, I note that the Carrington Event, the most powerful CME that modern humans have experienced, occurred in 1859. 24 yrs. later, in 1883, Krakatoa again produced a huge eruption. Of course, additional research needs to be done to establish a correlation between volcanic activity, earthquakes, & disruption of earth's magnetic field. However, as we know the moon creates the planet's tides, it's reasonable to suppose that the sun could have a much more serious effect on earth. Thanks for your reply.
I'd like to add just a little correction to your comment, the Ilopango volcano you mentioned, it's not located in Costa Rica, but in El Salvador, just a bit north.
@@Swivel3461 Lord, you're right, friend, & I apologize. It dawned on me after I'd posted the comment that I'd cited the incorrect country. I've now edited my comment. Thank you so much for your correction & reply!
Wow, such an interesting channel. Very informative 👏
This is excellent. I was unaware of the 536 event, but now it makes perfect sense.
Look at Illopango volcanic eruption also from 536. A lake in El Salvador which is a caldera, and evidence indicate that made an eruption around that time.
Fantastic documentary. This is what C-SPAN, the History Channel used to be like REGULARLY.
Good for whoever for not succumbing to whatever is going on there.
So, imagine...well before the capability to execute subterranean hydroponics, what incidents of extremely difficult diplomacy, economic adjustment, and warfare must have been conducted to satisfy agricultural needs when diaspora wasn't an option.
Precisely how I feel - check out my reply "at the top" - with several recommendations of other science & history documentaries of this high quality.
This is amazing and awesome, thankyou ❤
I hated history in school. Now one of my youngest kids is in high school and I love helping her with her history homework. So weird.
I love this documentary but I get it recommended with different titles every month or so 😀
Me too, ever since 2003.
Welcome to capitalism
Also.. the phone off the hook sound effect they absolutely love to use.
Pseudo digital busy signal..
It now is synonymous with British documentaries to me.
Its also totally outdated
The ancient Krakatoa exploded in around 500s AD, causing the separation of Sumatra and Java islands. It was supposed to be a very catastrophic explosion that made the ancient records of Javanese and Sumatrans kingdoms vanished.
*AD 500s
Nothing in compare with Mt Tuba about 74000 bc. That lay a meter of ashes over the southern half of India Peninsula! Or the (real) Vesuvius eruption about 39000 bc that lay a meter of ashes over Rumania and ukrain to the Ural Mountains. That´s when the Neanderthals except along Atlantic Ocean Coasts got extincted. Also those modern humans already arrived got extincted. Allready 35000 bc the Sollutrean culture started to develope. Then came the Younger Dryas Cathastroph which killed all the Megafauna and most of the humans living in that areas.
@@flexydex8754 AD *416 actually to be precise. 100 years before the 536 volcanic winter. This documentary is decades old and the link between Krakatoa and the 536 Volcanic winter has been debunked.
It's still interesting.
@mateobarrett6829 hello is there a fresher documentary u can point me to? Thx
Stop with the high pitch music! I couldn’t watch the video without getting a headache.
It’s an absolutely terrible noise
I notice a lot of documentaries have the high pitch music in the back ground and it actually ruins it and makes it unbearable to watch. I can’t watch them if they have music. Most of the time the editing is shocking. So unbalanced.
But it doesn’t need music. We want to see visual facts, and knowledge.
Nice RD missed it before the show. They are gonna be everywhere.
Fascinating!!!!
I like how this BBC4 production funded not only scientific expeditions, but actors and cosplayers / recreators from Roman, Celt, Mongolian horsemen, all around the world.
The best documentary I’ve seen in a while!! 👏
Amazing episode!
Amazing what a Volcano or two can do.
especially at VEI 7-8 levels
Per Wikipedia:
David Keys suggested the volcano Krakatoa by shifting a cataclysm in AD 416 recorded in Javanese Book of Kings to AD 535.[15] Drilling projects in Sunda Strait ruled out any possibility that an eruption took place during this time period.[29]
wikipedia genealogy accepts institutionally supported bad data, i know because its a section of my family history i have researched; therefore your wikipedia argument isn't particularly convincing.
I'm just listening to this as I work but I need to watch again for the visuals!!! 🤓 🌋
This channel is amazing. Thank you

Yup.
You got it right!!!😮
Very interesting and well put together. I wonder how long before we're all gone.
Globalists want us dead.
Brilliant Programme. Thank you

What a wonderfully detailed timeline through history. The combined studies and written history incorporated computer technology is so artistically put together for the general population globally. David's theory was (catastrophic) Thanks and respect for all the collaboration everyone contributed to providing so much history in the span of their own lifetime. Truth is stranger than fiction understanding urban myths, art, specific studies of so many various levels, WOW if this doesn't stimulate our brain cells and inspire more generations to use the past Hx to benefit where we as a global community might be in the future.
Who would have thought all of these down falls would have been traced back to a volcanic eruption .

Yes many people say 536 CE was the worst year in human history. I guess it's a toss-up between the 14th and the 20th century as being the worst centuries in human history.
20th century was something else, so many wars, massacres, genocides, financial crisis, and worst global pandemic in the last 500 years.
The best was the 19th century because of the British Empire! 🇬🇧

I randomly chose this video to watch and I didn't know anything abt 535ad event, it was such a surprise.
👍 WOW!!! Thank You ..., Sooo Very Comprehensive and Amazing!!!👍
Good documentary but boy the music is like from a 1950's horror movie!
The Yellowstone volcano is over a "hot Spot" just like Killowaea on the big island of Hawaii. The last time it blew up it was in Idaho. Because of Plate Tectonics, it is now in Wyoming. I learned all this from Nick Zentner a geology professor at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington.
I hadn't thought of that but what year did Idaho become a state? Just kidding.
Honestly 10 ads is an insane rate, it distract the attention all the time and kill the will to watch it.

Awsome ❤
If something like this happened again, there are multiple crop varieties today that should grow in such conditions to some extent, pretty much everything you can grow outside in the northern parts of Iceland should get some produce.
That would be carrots, kale, cabbage, potatoes, turnips, parsnips, oats and rye
Farmers aren’t backyard gardeners. If they have to switch a crop unexpectedly because of a catastrophic weather event, they can’t just jog down to the garden Center and buy some seed packets. They need hundreds or thousands of pounds of new seed (which would be in short supply with increased demand), probably brand new equipment (and specialized farming tractors and machinery cost a LOT of money), and, thu would need to know enough about how to grow it. Nobody ever gets a massive field their first time around, and if said crop land has been growing monocultures of another kind for years on end, the soil may not even be suited to it without years of preparation.
And then there’s the fact that if the temperate climates are all but buried in a volcanic winter and only tropical regions can grow anything? Take a look at the most resource poor countries in the world and what climate they lie in. Farmers in equatorial Africa, Indonesia, Guatemala etc. aren’t running giant mechanized intensive operations like we have in Canada, US, Europe etc.
And if the sun is severely dimmed? Nothing will get through that. Most of those crops you mentioned need 8+ hours a day of sunshine to grow.
I did not mean we would be fine, i did state though that after about the first year the ramainging areas suitable for these crops could be used to grow them.
The small scale agriculture you mentioned is in fact much more resilient to drastic changes, making it a huge advantage that it is still quite commen in equatorial regions.
Also the plants i mentioned do not need 8h of sun, they need some time with light levels even below 2500lux/m^2 being sufficient for sustaining medium growth in these, which is a very cloudy day, or a highly particle polluted atmosphere.@@SoundShinobiYuki
@@FruitingPlanet Small scale agriculture is more adaptable, but it won’t feed 8 billion people (for statistics, most of the worlds grain supply comes from Ukraine, Russia, Canada and the USA- temperate regions that may not be able to grow anything at all for at least a year in a volcanic winter. If you want an idea of how crucial those exports are to feeding large amounts of the world, look up how Russia has been weaponizing food exports by trying to block Ukrainian ships from exporting their grain through the Black Sea, and then check out just how many countries rely on importing that grain to feed themselves).
And if the only land that can grow anything is now in a poor country where farmers have very limited access to new seeds, modern equipment and knowledge on how to grow new crops that they don’t typically grow in the tropics? It’s not going to fare well for them either.
There is plently of large scale agriculture in the tropics, mostly in South America and Southeast Asia, liike 3/4 of these are used for animal feed and technical applications though, if it would be planned a few years before, it would be possible to feed most of the world when these are 100% used for high yield cosumable crops and some vegetables.
A combine harvester can do almost all the grains and those are plenty there for soy harvesting(for animal feed production)
Also the tropics grow most of these plants in high altitude regions, they know how to do it. @@SoundShinobiYuki

Thank you for this incredible research and presentation. A lot of work in this.
I would love to hear the connections between the volcanic eruptions of this time, because I am certainly sure there are more! I believe they might be the result or outcome of something much bigger!
What bigger thing do you imagine? Perhaps that volcanic activity would have increased because the Earth's crust had been warmed by the Sun especially little, so that it had contracted?

So interesting - lots to think about. Way too much "atmosphere" to wade through, but the information between out of focus and unrelated scenes, and vaguely unsettling music, is really interesting.
This was a very interesting documentary. I do have one question though. Can someone explain why; if the volcanic explosion was in about 535, this documentory was titled 526 the year the sun went black?
I was wondering the same thing.
Most likely a typo
It takes time for the dust and ash to spread around the globe, and more time for the knock-on effects to occur. There likely were observable effects the same year, but the climate change and crop loss would have happened the following year(s).
That seems to have been corrected.
It needs to happen again so that earth can clean it self for the next world
Id rather it not. The earth survives anything so it doesnt need anytgikg either
Grey context boxes automatically disbelieved. Documentary automatically awesome, quality production.
The child of Krakatoa went boom last year and the videos of the shockwave and tsunami 25 miles away are incredible. And it was pretty small…
I wonder how such an even effects wind? I'm only like halfway through so far, so that may still be addressed. I am curious because if such a thing was to happen again, clearly the capacity for PV Solar power generation would be severely hindered, but wind energy may work. However, I know that a lot of wind is caused by temperature differences and are often caused by the sun warming one variable while another is cool. If the sun is blocked, would that still happen? I may need to look into it to quench my own curiosity
I enjoy the actual footage from the Sixth Century!
Very interesting documental. Does it repeat itself after minute 50?
Couldn't it make sense to turn "526" into "536", in the video's title?
😅
Mother Nature always has a way to surprise us, huh? 😅
I guess I’m just old. Seeing the opening here, it all reminded me just about the ware wolf movies with Lon, then later, Lon Jr. I was born decades after they were filmed. But that still makes me old.
Krakatoa my favorite Volcano 🌋🧐 Powerful Nature!
Explains about what happened to a lot of ancient civilizations. Would also explain what happened to the other 4 ancient civilizations. Some kind of worldly cataclysm wiped them out like dinosaurs.
Excelente documentário. Já havia lido algo a respeito do krakatoa e das consequências que suas erupções e explosões trouxeram, mas esse documentário trouxe-me mais profundidade sobre o assunto. Agradecido e parabéns a todos os envolvidos. Saudações do Brasil 🇧🇷.
Fantastic documentary. But Scary.
Is this a reupload? Because I remember watching it a couple of years ago.
I’ve watched this doc probably 5 times, lol. It’s fascinating. I’m slowly committing the second half to longterm memory with ability to apply same to recent times.
You have the wrong date listed on this video's title line...ooops.
When we lived in Portland, Oregon, & Mt. St. Helens blew, we didnt have a summer that year.
What an excellent, fascinating presentation. Gosh life sure is resilent. Those sound like some rough several years 1500 years ago
"Life is resilient" life uh finds a way. Also life is incredibly stubborn to the point of almost indestructible. Multiple mass extinctions and possibly popping up from an alien world compared to what we have.
It was 536AD not 526 and the event, the eruption occurred in 535AD causing the global climate change of 536AD for several years. FYI, I believe it was Ilopango, not Krakatoa but I haven't watched your video yet so, perhaps you gave Ilopango it's due. It's possible it was both in the same year, that would in fact be catastrophic but Ilopango was the big boy.

Mystery solved. Excellent research and analysis. Thank you.
While we know volcanoes caused the volcanic winter of 536, this documentary is out of date. Krakatoa erupted in 416, more than 100 years before the 536 volcanic winter. This was proven by studying ice cores from Sumatra
@@mateobarrett6829Ice cores from Sumatra? I’d there ice on Sumatra?
… this happened during the time of Maui, when the days were short and the nights were long - approx. 1500 years ago
The day/night cycle hasn't changed much except under the influence of the Moon moving away from the Earth. 4 billion years ago it was estimated to be 6 hours. when the moon formed.
History is fantastic
I’m so spooked y’all. How come I never learned about this in school and why don’t mainstream media talk about this!!! This can happen again.
You should be more spooked about the fact that you are far more likely to die of something called "Old Age" . And this is something nobody survives! Who cares if a stupid volcano or a comet, or nuclear war ends mankind earlier? Old age will kill all of humanity sooner or later!
When you think about it this has to be absolutely terrifying to such primitive people as they were back then.
It's terrifying to me now. We're on the brink of the same thing (but worse) happening again. This time, at least partially of our own making. ☹️
I dont think it would be any less terrifying to us modern people now...imagine the world suddenly reduced to 4 hrs weak cool sun per day. No crops, trees, fruits, vegetables....constant freezing cold.
@@vincentavangogh3636 Indeed, there is a link between melting glaciers and increased volcanism. Throughout the volcanic record, volcanism decreased as ice and glaciers spread throughout the world. As our glaciers melt, they will erode away the land, making the crust "thinner" in places and thus removing an immense amount of pressure on the crust, allowing for more magma to reach the surface through volcanoes.
@@taleandclawrock2606sounds like Finnish winter 😐
Is Krakatoa considered a supervolcano? It has caused climate change twice in the world that has been recorded. Even by Mary Shelley's Frankenstein was written in what was a year without a summer.
no krakatoa is a massive volcano surely but not an super volcano cause its eruptions were not big enough to be calles super it didn't have an eruption what ejected 500km² op tephra or more
Anyone have an idea of how to get this soundtrack? Or next best thing something similar? That deep rolling growl is the BEST! Please help!
I was there and took pics! Absolutely true. Well, the sun didn't become dark, it was just blocked out.
Wow!!? your very lucky to witness all that happened .😂😂😂😅😅💪💪💪immortal.😅😅😂😂
It would have been interesting if they would have talked about the possibility of being a maximum minimum which were present-day experiencing which should give a high increased and volcanic activity which we presently see
that would explain and justify all those underground cities (bunkers) that we have been finding all over the world!
this was very interesting but I was constantly distracted by the dramatic stock footage lol
I think the climate scientist should take a long a look at this, because as I’ve been saying our future is cold..Oz geographics channel said one hit in the centre of the Indian Ocean caused Tidal waves all around the Earth massive chevrons left all around the earth. It caused untold rain but this was back 5000 years ago in the flood of the Bible hit they think. I’m so enjoying this.
Our future is cold if a big enough space body or volcano happens. Both are unlikely to happen whole climate change is happening right now as we speak. Prioritizing.
