A World Without The Sun: How A Super-Volcano Changed History

Video Description

Prepare for a journey back to the Dark Ages as historian David Keys and an international team of scientists unravel the mystery behind the global catastrophe of the mid-6th century AD! Nearly 1,500 years ago, the sun went dark, skies rained blood, and a two-year winter brought drought, famine, and plague, causing civilizations to crumble worldwide. Through tree rings, ice cores, and ancient chronicles, the investigation points to an equatorial volcanic eruption around 535 AD, most likely the notorious Krakatoa, as the catalyst for this monumental climatic shift.
