An epidemic in Europe, sulphur traces in Greenland’s ice, and a mysterious lake in the Southern Hemisphere—could all these be linked to a catastrophic volcanic eruption? In the 6th century AD, the world experienced a dramatic climate shift, with sudden temperature drops, crop failures, and widespread famine. Historical records describe darkened skies and bitterly cold summers, but what caused this global disaster? Scientists believe a massive volcanic eruption in the tropics may be responsible. This documentary uncovers geological evidence, ancient texts, and environmental clues that suggest a single natural event may have reshaped human history. Could a local catastrophe truly have had such a profound global impact?

Why did you waste our time with Ilopango? It erupted in the fifth century at the latest or possibly in the fourth or third century.
I love it when channels take older videos and try to make it seem like they made it.. SMH PATHETIC!! STOP BITING OTHER PEOPLE'S WORK AND UPLOADING IT LIKE YOUR CHANNEL MADE IT!!
It has been established that "the mystery " volcano is Krakatoa!
Rich people problems, They own the world anyway
3:02 present 3:07
the description shown under your video says "Human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas."
this is not true; the primary driver for the past million years has been changes in earth's orbit around the sun [Milankovitch cycles] , along with other non-human inputs.

Rinjani / samalas is a better doc
There is a tiny American volcano threatening the world right now: the presidential anus. Every time Donald Trump farts new tariffs, the stock market fluctuates and the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. This tiny volcano will make American grain producers go bankrupt and the prices of almost everything in the US will explode.😂😂😂😂
Very nice documentary man himself cannot fathom how massive of a thing a volcano can be!!!!
Munich?
Commercials are ridiculous
Why does YouTube have 15min ads? ridiculous!
Volcanic eruptions. My goodness. They have been happening since formation of the world. Is Tambora the very worst? Not by any means. Why does man think that the world should revolve around them? The world does not act or erupt on the bidding of humanity. Calamity is part of living on this planet. How much CO2 and how much Greenhouse gases were emitted then or by Krakatoa? Not a damned thing could be done then or now. Yes, it's natural history, but not humanity's fault. Changing history. This one incident in time is not the only life or world changing event. Many are MAN made. I'll take the natural over the Manmade events. We do not live in a perfectly stable world. Why do so many people along the coastal areas die in an earthquake zone? The large waves that ensue. It is a choice of man to live on the beach and coastal areas. They have for many and many centuries. Death follows. Why do people choose to live so co close to active volcanoes? Same reasons. Disaster is always a present danger from natural causes. I don't think that man could produce as much environmental change as a large explosion of ejecta from a volcano, even if it went clearly out of its way to do so.
You make too many videos and don't spend enough time on narration quality. For example; byzantine is pronounced 'biz·zuhn·teen'. Finding this glaring error so early in the video means that I will not watch another second, as every error spoils my concentration. Remember 'quality, not quantity' if you want respect for your work. If you just want the money, then you are unlikely to read this comment and I will have wasted more of my time on you!
And, stop stealing other people's work!
Original title of this documentary is "Schlafende Riesen – Die Macht der Vulkane" translation "Sleeping Giants – The Power of Volcanoes." It was made in 2016. The original narrator was Till Hagen, obviously now dubbed in English by Mark Rossman.
Democrats and liberals are a catastrophe,, I’m not scared of volcanos lol
