Last night I randomly came to the conclusion that the dancing death was the result of a pathogen that caused Akathesia in people, that is, the feeling that one has to erupt in movement of some kind. Its a more advanced version of having restless legs.
@@Chaos------ I think you're on to something!! Restless leg syndrome is still not completely understood, and there are some very strange "cures" for it, that actually work for many people, like putting a bar of soap under the mattress... I think it's kind of like synesthesia, seeing color, and hearing music. Our brains are amazing!!!
So I know it's been a while since he uploaded this, but I figure it's better late than never to comment this. He didn't discuss it here, but the Mongols are actually directly responsible (at least in part) for the black death's spread. While besieging Caffa, Khan Jani Berg had already been dealing with an outbreak of the plague himself. So, as any sane Khan would do, he gathered up the infected bodies and catapulted them over Caffa's walls in one of the earliest acts of biological warfare. From there a ship loaded with infected cargo escaped and made its way to Sicily. On top of this, the Mongols also had control of the silk road, which no doubt heavily facilitated the plague's spread
Late response as well, but I've also heard that was a very ineffective way of biological warfare. Dead bodies are far less effective in spreading diseases than living ones. The disease starts dying in the body, and what remained of it would usually spill out in liquids, rather than be airborne (as dead bodies don't breathe or exhale infected flem). So usually, the only way to catch a dead body's illness was to have a cut on your hand while handling a fairly fresh diseased body. So the dead bodies were likely not the cause of the outbreak of the plague.
@@crazyfun95 "Dead bodies are far less effective in spreading diseases than living ones. " - Sure, a knife does not cut because only samurai swords really cut (yawn), besides...a wide variety of additional bacteria would flourish in a dead body, but who cares ;) not of importance "what remained of it would usually spill out in liquids" Maybe in the moment it´s getting *catapulted* on some structure like a house?? That´s more like a liquid explosion than a spilling out, leaving a nebula depending on moisture and catapult size. @TheJollySoviet You are the hero I was looking for, I knew I would find information like that :) Thanks for sharing and contributing to the whole picture
I too was happy to hear him say that. It's a brain-rotting virus, a plague that I would like to see wiped out with the same aggression that has been used against Covid-19.
Except the plague dr outfit wasn't even created until 300 years after the black death ended. It was created by Doctor de Lorme (1584-1678) while the black plague was 1346-1353.
Norwegian here. There where rats with fleas on them on a ship that came to our second largest city, Bergen, in 1349. Back then the city was called Bjørgvin. There was even written a book about called ''Det kom et skip til Bjørgvin i 1349'' (There came a ship to Bjørgvin in 1349).
Norwegian here too, this makes me question this story. The book was originally published in 1980, as far as I can tell. It might be based on the same myth about the rats. Edit: I might be completely wrong. I’ve grown up with that quote and always assumed it was hundreds of years old
Have they ever proposed a simple mutation that occurs where it starts pneumonic but then evolves quickly into bubonic so it would spread between people before they really knew they had it.
@@myra0224 No I’m talking about the bubonic plague, a bacteria caused the plague and a virus causes corona, unless you are talking about the transmission being like corona in which yes that’s what I’m talking about. It just doesn’t have nearly the same mortality rate as the bubonic plague, corona sits at like around >99.8% survive it between 18-60 and it only goes down about five percent outside of that range.
@@ryancornwell8563 Yeah, I meant the way it spread 💖 I feel like covid would've been highly deadly as well if it wasn't for the measures taken (like quarantine and such) but we can only be lucky it didn't go ask quick and fast as the plague because I'm sure we'd all be dead now 😅
@@myra0224 the mortality rates are taken from confirmed cases which are most likely about 25% more than actually died to corona. Since it’s airborne it can travel much faster than the plague but also we have much better living conditions and medicine nowadays, it’s cousin SARS-CoV-1 is the example for the worse of the two and it was handled great compared to the corona now.
@@ryancornwell8563 Yeah, I know the cases aren't accurate (as some people got counted when they for example died in a car crash, but had covid or some stupid things like that) but yeah, would've been worse if it wasn't for our doctors and nurses who handled it all so well, hopefully we can go back to some form of normal life again soon
I remember being taught at school 47 years ago that, the Black Death was a combination of, Bubonic, Pneumonic and Septicemic plague and was only thought to be Bubonic because this had the most visible symptoms. It turns out they are all caused by the same bacteria infecting different areas. My teacher was not a fan of blaming the rats even then but admitted he did not have a better explanation.
I can imagine future historians looking back at online discussions like this and wondering what the hell we were smoking to preface a statement with "Me:".
"No animals covered as much ground in those days as we did. " I would like to point out that migrating birds and insects would have us beat on average by a long shot. And also the humble coconut. I do suggest that coconuts migrate.
Knowing how birds and insects traveled further than us humans at the time how would the birds have spread the virus and how come there weren’t birds falling out from the sky when they died???
@@roxysmoke6812 , I am not suggesting birds and insects spread he virus. I am simply pointing out that there were animals that traveled farther than us, at least in terms of pure distance in one sitting.
I actually always thought the Black Death was airborne or at least through fluids. Because I always wondered how so many people were getting bit by fleas daily. Now I learn that I was wrong at first but maybe right in the long run lol
There were three types - bubonic (from the fleas and others infected) , septicemic (infection of the blood and bodily fluids) and pneumonic (infection of the respiratory system and therefore could be spread airborne) also if i got some things wrong forgive me lmao, this is just memories from history classes
In all liklihood the black death was another reset and the explanation could be a total scam. Just like the reset we're doing now with the sun and this political virus.
Not really a long shot when you consider that people in the middle ages tended to carry fleas a lot more often than people do now, and once a person contracted bubonic plague any flea that "jumped ship" from them onto someone else would be a potential plague vector. Given this it's not really surprising at all that it spread quite quickly. (We aren't the best host for fleas since we tend to have sparse body hair, but clothing that is rarely changed or washed is a pretty good substitute for the fur they might prefer!)
Wow! You did an excellent job on this topic. I read Daniel Defoe’s book a Journal of The Plague Year (his grandfather lived during the plague) and it is a terrifying read. I also read where archeologists were puzzled at the lack of rat bodies dating back to that time, so I think it was spread by human fleas.
@@chrxs.2938 hey leave my opinions out of this; you don’t know them. And also, skewing an offensive term by using cov as its prefix is pretty nasty and shows how uneducated you are! How’s your GED look on the fridge? ❤️❤️
I would love to have been this guys lecturer at college or uni, just to read this guys essays and assignments. They would be a refreshing read, no doubt.
What you're saying really hits me. My youngest daughter was breeding the most beautiful rats of all colors and all tempers, even the dumbo rats who are probably the most gentle of all. My point is this I never saw them with flea or lice. Experts at the time told me they are usually not affected by those. What is even more amazing is their is different types of fleas, most of them today are specific to cats and dogs. But yes they were fleas that were specific to humans before, these are perhaps extinct now. Anecdotally circus were paying money for human fleas in the last century, they were getting very rare. Human fleas make very much sense as a vector for the black plague.
I remember in 6th grade math class many of my fellow students most of us very competent early mathematician all came up with the same number answer to a problem given. But we were all told by our teacher that we were wrong at least according to the text book she was using. So when the teacher noticed how many of us came up with the same answer she decided to go to the chalkboard and proceed to answer the question herself. It turned out that the students were right and the text book was wrong. Insane I know I human printed book having the wrong answer. So it doesn't surprise me that the rats answer in text books are wrong isn't shocking at all.
Bruh, I had the same maths class for my last two years of high school with the same teacher and we had used the online version of our textbook rather than the physical one - and it had many incorrect answers. And I agree with the rest of your comment also.
Thoughty2 has joined my favourite Sitcom Frasier as being a show that guarantees me one laugh out loud per episode. (at least) Quite a new subscriber but one of the best things on You Tube. Bravo Sir, bravo.
I am slightly embarrassed at how much the texting joke made me laugh... "Hey you remember the black death?" "yeah lol" I swear I shouldn't have found that as funny as I did, but it's so damn accurate :-D
Aliens brought disease from other countries and spread to the next. Rats can ride on wagons pulled by horses, donkeys, camels, elephants and mules and can ride in ships and boats.
"The steady clock metrically continues because an alien agenda prospectively and randomly x-rays the gender of sour and smoggy fairgrounds." ---Albert Einstein
I saw a documentary a while back that said that they dug up graves in an abandoned town in the UK from the time of the black death and they found not only the plague, but anthrax as well.
Damn, this is the first time I have seen a Thoughty2 video and I love it! I mean, plague doctor with awesome dance moves and an awesome mustach-man, you can't find a better combo anywhere.
Oh he’s great! And his videos are truly interesting, covering an entire range of subjects. It’s usually where I end up after going through all my notifications. Definitely subscribe if you’ve found this one interesting, he is also hilarious! 😂
You forget, too, that during this time was the Golden Horde knocking on eastern europe's door. Warfare = movement of populations = spread of diseases got even worse, considering that the Plague originally came from asia. so 1) there WERE the southern ports that did trade routes to asia that brought in the Plague but 2) there was also the eastern european-asian vector of the spread of the disease. I believe there's the story/legend of Caffa (found in modern Crimea) being under siege by the Mongols during this time period. putting the travel paths of the pathogen only on the items mentioned in the video kind of neglects that there were a lot of things happening during that time period making populations move around (in eastern asia, particularly china, i believe there was a terrible wet season that resulted in floods and bad crops which also had populations moving). But good show with this.
Dude, SLICK 50’s-80’s style dubbing at 9:48 for the derivation of the word quarantine lol 😄 That brought me back to the movies I loved growing up haha.
@Michael Myers I can't answer that honestly..I hope people wake up and realize it's all bullshit and lies and they don't give a fuck about any of us.They just want to keep up fighting with each other
As the above to touched off. It's just incredibly sad. Most people are fed up with how things are handled and run. And those who aren't are living in bliss and lying to themselves. But until every single person unanimously decides things have to change, things never will. And ofc the other side of that is people will never truely unify to any extent. This is our future now. Tomorrow doesn't hold any possibilities anymore
One of the most facinating dideases along with syphilis and small pox.cholera was pretty wicked too.It takes a morbid type to enjoy studying this kind of thing.
I found that interesting. A village near where I live called Hepworth nr Holmfirth UK had a localised outbreak of the Black death reputably carried in a package of clothing transported from London. The clothes contained Fleas or Lice with no rats involved so your theory they were human carrier Fleas or Lice looks sound. Anyway, the infected people were quarantined in a part of the village until the disease had passed and the dead were buried. To celebrate this there is a village feast which goes on every year to this day. Apart from, ironically 2020 and probably 2021. The Great Plague....from Wikipedia In 1665 - 1666 the Great Plague struck England. It wrought devastation in London, then spread across the country. Hepworth was the most northerly point that it reached. According to local legend it is supposed to have come in on cloth brought from London. In an effort to save the village the residents split the village into two parts at Barracks Fold. Those that were infected remained, isolated from the world, in one half. Thirteen of the residents died from the disease, which was a considerable percentage of the population in such a small village and thirteen trees were planted to remember them. The trees still stand today, by the local football pitch. Two subsequently fell down and in 2004, replacements were planted at a small ceremony by Parish Councillor, Ruth Jackson. The end of the plague in Hepworth is still commemorated on the last Monday in June every year with Hepworth Feast.
I’ve always loved rats and I’m glad to see more people talking about their innocence in this matter. Rats make lovely pets and are not dirty at all- I’ve never had the plague, but I have had rats!
@@alegnalowe3679 you need to have more than one rat! They get lonely and depressed without companions. Three or more is best but two is the bare minimum. There are lots of great rat videos on TH-cam so I suggest watching some to learn about them before bringing one into your life!
@@yourhope5410 ok.One black and another one a light brown with white.Do rats come in calico patterns? That would be beautifull!. I have a few cats and a small dog and a turtle.My lizard died a few yrs back and i miss him.He was 25 yrs old.How bout i just have a zoo?
@@alegnalowe3679 sadly no calico, but there are curly haired and hairless rats as well as a variety of colors and patterns! A zoo wouldn’t be a bad idea lol XD
There is a wild grey rat on our property ( we live in the foothills of a mountain preservein Phoenix AZ and the hills and trails are in our backyard literally). She is the cutest thing and visits me every evening for snacks and treats. I rustle a bag of granola outside and she appears!
08:50 Here you might overlook the fact, that although the plague was transmitted by rats it also was reported to have been transmitted from one human to others. Thus the speed of spreading was actually more to to human interaction.
You should do a video on the blue changeling children of northern Europe. Connecting them to pneumonia and fugate type mutation. It would be interesting.
Okay FINE. Since I have like 14 tabs open in my browser of your videos to watch, FINE. I'll subscribe. You got me! Please keep up the engaging and interesting videos :)
The spread doesn't rely on the speed of rats, but the speed of flea infested humans. A human traveller on horseback is faster than a rat. Edit: never mind, you covered it.
Don't listen to the comment above mine! My guess is they just don't know what it is like to have so much knowledge stored in their brain, just waiting for the day it becomes handy or relevant. Poor soul. 🙃🙃🙃
@Tulock the Werewolf I'd imagine that we would have had more wars then, Specially if that thing only destroyed peoples livelihoods instead of the people themselves. Lots of poor buggers around then, prime material for war. Might have balanced it out :)
What were your thoughts on it being a combination plague of Y. Pestis and a form Bacillus anthracite, put forward by Norman F. Cantor in his book 'In the Wake of the Plague: The Black Death and the World it made'. It mentions the possibility of a mutated anthrax strain from the soil, that mutated due to new intensive farming techniques being developed. The increase of disease in cows when intensively farmed is one reason we generally give antibiotic to cattle.
These videos are so funny sometimes like “public hugging is as bad as public shagging”. Hmm I haven’t heard that term since austin powers movies yet it still makes me laugh😂😂😂
Ever since watching the Connections episode "Faith in Numbers" years ago when I was a kid, I have been very intrigued by the Black Death. This was a great perspective on it, and I definitely enjoyed the alternate viewpoint! Also, TikTok is absolutely a virus. Petition for a "Connections" revival with Thoughty2 as the host is officially initiated :-)
I had this great "disasters" book with all manner of disasters (somehow the Hindenburg made it) and the Black Death pages always freaked me out (the kill count was so high).
I once heared that even a HIV- related retrovirus might have been responsable based on an observation that people kind of immune to HIV often had ancestors who lived in regions hit particularly hard by the black death, so they must have been the few survivors of it.
The town of Eve Germany, in I do believe. Reagan really dropped the ball on that One. Now we got people inconvenienced by an all hollows eve accessories. Before that it was a condom
That was the Delta 51 mutation that prevented them from plague and they cant get the aids virus either.These people were in a small villiage somewher in England i believe they mentioned in the documentary.
Hong Kong flu in 68/69 and Asiatic flu in 56/58 had about the same numbers as coronavirus and people didn't freak out, businesses didn't close and crash the economy and politicans didn't use it as a weapon. Look at the numbers in this video, people allowed themselves to be played over this coronavirus nonsense.

Bruh, I had the same maths class for my last two years of high school with the same teacher and we had used the online version of our textbook rather than the physical one - and it had many incorrect answers.
And I agree with the rest of your comment also.
Thoughty2 has joined my favourite Sitcom Frasier as being a show that guarantees me one laugh out loud per episode. (at least)
Quite a new subscriber but one of the best things on You Tube. Bravo Sir, bravo.
welcome! ive been here since 2015-16. glad to find mustachee enthusiasts, new and old
there's more stock footage to come don't worry
I am slightly embarrassed at how much the texting joke made me laugh...
"Hey you remember the black death?"
"yeah lol"
I swear I shouldn't have found that as funny as I did, but it's so damn accurate :-D
"I am not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens."
WHO and china says it was alians for sure
Aliens brought disease from other countries and spread to the next. Rats can ride on wagons pulled by horses, donkeys, camels, elephants and mules and can ride in ships and boats.

I saw a documentary a while back that said that they dug up graves in an abandoned town in the UK from the time of the black death and they found not only the plague, but anthrax as well.

Damn, this is the first time I have seen a Thoughty2 video and I love it!
I mean, plague doctor with awesome dance moves and an awesome mustach-man, you can't find a better combo anywhere.
Oh he’s great! And his videos are truly interesting, covering an entire range of subjects. It’s usually where I end up after going through all my notifications. Definitely subscribe if you’ve found this one interesting, he is also hilarious! 😂

You forget, too, that during this time was the Golden Horde knocking on eastern europe's door. Warfare = movement of populations = spread of diseases got even worse, considering that the Plague originally came from asia. so 1) there WERE the southern ports that did trade routes to asia that brought in the Plague but 2) there was also the eastern european-asian vector of the spread of the disease. I believe there's the story/legend of Caffa (found in modern Crimea) being under siege by the Mongols during this time period. putting the travel paths of the pathogen only on the items mentioned in the video kind of neglects that there were a lot of things happening during that time period making populations move around (in eastern asia, particularly china, i believe there was a terrible wet season that resulted in floods and bad crops which also had populations moving).
But good show with this.
Don't forget Justinian's plague in the
500's AD.
In the once great city of Constantinople, the death rate, at its height, was 10,000 people per day.
"Voice of the past" has an EPIC narration of a first hand account. The way the plague is described is absolutely chilling.
Wow!!! That is insane.. ppl must have been petrified

This was a particularly gripping episode, really well done. I liked the plot twist at the end as well, you really had me for a moment.
The government responses to coronavirus have affected the world in ways we never imagined.
the goverment responses like most people want it. they just want to get voted again
Do something about it then
@Michael Myers I can't answer that honestly..I hope people wake up and realize it's all bullshit and lies and they don't give a fuck about any of us.They just want to keep up fighting with each other
The government created it
As the above to touched off. It's just incredibly sad. Most people are fed up with how things are handled and run. And those who aren't are living in bliss and lying to themselves. But until every single person unanimously decides things have to change, things never will. And ofc the other side of that is people will never truely unify to any extent. This is our future now. Tomorrow doesn't hold any possibilities anymore
I always learn new things watching these videos and the delivery is much easier to listen to and understand. Thanks for a great experience.

I would have thought head lice would be the culprit since everyone had them back then
they also had fleas
he said body lice, which includes headlice
Head lice got more prolific with cleaner hair. Head lice is more of a problem these days than they were 50 or more years ago.
@@mickk8519 don't know about that
they combed their hair with lice combs every day, they got rid of head lice very effectively
Just watched Thoughty2's moustache development throughout the year. Admirable.
I love this guy's mustache and accent, you got me captivated almost as easily as Mr.Ballen
Haven't seen a moustache like that since Kaiser Wilhelm
We have to resurrect mustache as form of masculinity, the are really cool.
Check out the mustache on the dude the Volstead act was named after. His names Volstead obviously. They don’t make them like that anymore

Lol I love plague inc
INTERESTING! I never questioned it before. The more you know!
I found that interesting. A village near where I live called Hepworth nr Holmfirth UK had a localised outbreak of the Black death reputably carried in a package of clothing transported from London. The clothes contained Fleas or Lice with no rats involved so your theory they were human carrier Fleas or Lice looks sound. Anyway, the infected people were quarantined in a part of the village until the disease had passed and the dead were buried. To celebrate this there is a village feast which goes on every year to this day. Apart from, ironically 2020 and probably 2021.
The Great Plague....from Wikipedia
In 1665 - 1666 the Great Plague struck England. It wrought devastation in London, then spread across the country. Hepworth was the most northerly point that it reached. According to local legend it is supposed to have come in on cloth brought from London.
In an effort to save the village the residents split the village into two parts at Barracks Fold. Those that were infected remained, isolated from the world, in one half. Thirteen of the residents died from the disease, which was a considerable percentage of the population in such a small village and thirteen trees were planted to remember them. The trees still stand today, by the local football pitch. Two subsequently fell down and in 2004, replacements were planted at a small ceremony by Parish Councillor, Ruth Jackson. The end of the plague in Hepworth is still commemorated on the last Monday in June every year with Hepworth Feast.
Thoughty2's favorite effect is putting himself on screens from stock images to a rotating phone. I applaud you.
Its always a pleasure to watch your videos. Grwat work.
I’ve always loved rats and I’m glad to see more people talking about their innocence in this matter. Rats make lovely pets and are not dirty at all- I’ve never had the plague, but I have had rats!
GreetsBeersza!
Now i want a black rat.I think i will name it yersinia.
@@alegnalowe3679 you need to have more than one rat! They get lonely and depressed without companions. Three or more is best but two is the bare minimum. There are lots of great rat videos on TH-cam so I suggest watching some to learn about them before bringing one into your life!
@@yourhope5410 ok.One black and another one a light brown with white.Do rats come in calico patterns? That would be beautifull!.
I have a few cats and a small dog and a turtle.My lizard died a few yrs back and i miss him.He was 25 yrs old.How bout i just have a zoo?
@@alegnalowe3679 sadly no calico, but there are curly haired and hairless rats as well as a variety of colors and patterns!
A zoo wouldn’t be a bad idea lol XD

There is a wild grey rat on our property ( we live in the foothills of a mountain preservein Phoenix AZ and the hills and trails are in our backyard literally). She is the cutest thing and visits me every evening for snacks and treats. I rustle a bag of granola outside and she appears!

Shoutout to the Plague Doctor at 15:31 who's just vibin'
I always assumed that plague could be passed from person to person that alone is strange to me.
It can-- through body fluids.
Yeah but medieval peasants were covered in all sorts
I remember when you wore a suit. Keep going man 👍
08:50 Here you might overlook the fact, that although the plague was transmitted by rats it also was reported to have been transmitted from one human to others. Thus the speed of spreading was actually more to to human interaction.
You should do a video on the blue changeling children of northern Europe. Connecting them to pneumonia and fugate type mutation. It would be interesting.

Why i love Thoughty2 videos is that you can watch the same videos many times after a while and still enjoy it!
Great, as always - thanks, mate!
My cat was obsessed with this episode, especially the rat part
StripeBSD!
The spread doesn't rely on the speed of rats, but the speed of flea infested humans.
A human traveller on horseback is faster than a rat.

Black death brought about positive changes, including a move from serfdom to paid employment and the introduction of private hotel rooms.

Not sure if the move away from serfdom was a positive one. There isn't a single person I know who is actually happy with their pay :)

What were your thoughts on it being a combination plague of Y. Pestis and a form Bacillus anthracite, put forward by Norman F. Cantor in his book 'In the Wake of the Plague: The Black Death and the World it made'. It mentions the possibility of a mutated anthrax strain from the soil, that mutated due to new intensive farming techniques being developed. The increase of disease in cows when intensively farmed is one reason we generally give antibiotic to cattle.

I once heared that even a HIV- related retrovirus might have been responsable based on an observation that people kind of immune to HIV often had ancestors who lived in regions hit particularly hard by the black death, so they must have been the few survivors of it.
