And they thought Mt. St. Helens was a bugger!
Ten years ago, I went to Oregon to visit family who were there when the eruption occurred. They were STILL dealing with the fallout of that eruption...having to dig out the Columbia River shipping channel...still digging out the Toutle River Valley..blown-down old growth timber washing up on the Washington and Oregon Coasts. Thirty- some years after the initial event.
And St. Helens was a hiccup compared with Krakatoa.

The 9th century had another great catastrophe, one that would split up the Athabaskan or Na-Dene peoples of Northwestern North America.
In fact, around the 9th century, a major volcanic eruption occurred in Alaska's, known as the White River Ash Eruption, which displaced numerous Athabaskan peoples, notably the Navajo, Apache, Chippewa, Jicarilla, Lipan, Mescalero, and Chiricahua peoples to the Modern Day Southwestern United States and Northern Mexico.
These Native American groups were separated from its Northern Athabaskan/Na-Dene counterparts, including the Koyukon, Tanana, Ahtna, Dena'ina, Deg Xinag, Han, Gwich'in, Tutchone, Tagish, Tlingit, Kaska, Chipewyan, South Slavey (Dene Zhatie), North Slavey (Sahtu), and Dogrib (Tlicho).
If you ever wonder why Navajo artifacts, clothing, and language sound and look similar to counterparts in Yukon, Northwest Territories (Denendeh), and Alaska, its due to the fact that the Navajo and native peoples of Northwestern North America are related.

Notice how @ 51:12, the British author says âtwo thousand millionâ instead of âtwo billionâ. Thatâs because until only relatively recently (the middle 1970s), âbillionâ in British English meant âmillion millionâ. Based on how old this author was when this interview was recorded, he most likely attended grammar school before the UK government officially changed the usage of âbillionâ to what the international standard we all now use.

There are recent studies showing that there was a comet impact in gulf of Carpentaria in Australia (two large craters that are 12 and 18 km in diameter) at that time via magnetite spherules from Greland ice cores and also from other sources. So not only volcanic eruptions were the main cause but multiple events...

Good lord, this documentary had it all! Tree rings, comets, volcanos, King Arthur, bubonic plague, ice samples from Antarctica, sick babies in Mexico, rat fleas at 25 degrees, unending winters, Chinese booms, Roman Empire barbarian tributes. And I still got 10 minutes left! I am thrilled and speechless.
