The most devastating year in human history is 14:08

Harvard scientists found that 536 of our time were the most difficult in human history. Results of research, published Science magazine showed that in 536, Europe and Asia were covered by global climate abnormalities and disasters, which became the triggers of large -scale social and historical shocks.

According to scientists, wide regions for 18 months were covered with thick fog that almost prevented sunlight. Researchers calculated that the daylight of that time did not exceed the bright month. This has led to a decrease at an average of 2.5 degrees Celsius temperature for the last 2500 years. A sharp cooling caused crop faults and collapse of agriculture and provoked mass hunger.

The climate data obtained in the analysis of ice seeds (deep ice caps) from Greenland revealed high sulfur content in the atmosphere. This showed that a large volcanic explosion occurred in 536. According to scientists, a powerful volcano in the north of the world threw a large amount of ash and sulfuric acid into the stratosphere, which caused global darkening.

The environmental and food disaster was accompanied by a epidemic, one of the first pandemums recorded in history. The disease, according to historians, spread to the famous world at the time, up to 50 million life – almost half of the population of that time.

In 539, Icelandic volcanoes were activated, and then new disaster explosions were watched in 540 and 547 years. Earthquakes, floods and long -term outbreaks weakened the stability of all civilizations. Some historians believe that this special step of these disasters has become one of the reasons for the fall of the Western Roman Empire and the transition of Europe to the Middle Ages.
