And the Sun Disappeared
A Catastrophic Climate Event transpired, characterized by a dimming sun, blood rain, dust storms, and a prolonged winter lasting two years, followed by drought, famine, disease, and widespread mortality. Research conducted by David Keys indicates that this event significantly influenced historical trajectories, drawing upon expert consultations and the examination of ancient records. Analysis of tree rings has provided insights into historical climatic conditions, revealing variations in width that correspond to periods of favorable and adverse weather. A specialized computer program has been employed to correlate tree ring patterns for accurate dating and analysis. The year 536 is noted for its exceptionally cold temperatures and diminished sunlight, which led to agricultural failures. The small and widely scattered vessels from that year suggest damage due to frost. Archaeological findings, along with the construction of crannogs in Ireland, corroborate the severe conditions resulting from this climatic upheaval. The sun experienced an unprecedented dimming during 535-536 AD, with various accounts indicating darkness that persisted for 18 months, causing widespread alarm among the populace. Historians have documented climatic disturbances, including cold springs, insufficient rainfall, and failing crops. A significant impact from a large comet or asteroid could have triggered such a climatic disaster, necessitating an object approximately four kilometers wide for an asteroid or six kilometers for a comet to induce substantial climatic changes. The aftermath of such an impact would have produced a brilliant fireball and a deafening sound; however, no contemporary civilization recorded any such occurrence. The investigation into the potential for a comet or asteroid impact in 536 AD remains ongoing.

The Forgotten Island
In the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean lies a speck of land barely visible on the world map. Today, it's known as Tromelin Island, but for a long time, it was simply called Sand Island. This tiny, flat islet, surrounded by coral reefs and battered by the relentless ocean, is a rather unremarkable place—the sort of sand spit that savvy sailors would sail straight past without a second thought. But there's nothing unremarkable about this island because it is home to one of the most remarkable tales in all of human history.

We're not particularly strong, fast, or resilient compared to other animals. Our swimming, climbing, and digging skills are subpar, and we lack any special adaptations like venom or camouflage.
