AD 536 ~ Worst Year Ever?

Two videos about the year AD 536.


These days, the phrase "worst year ever" is frequently used, mostly online, and for many reasons.However, historians and scientists have genuinely contended that, in this planet's lengthy history, no year has been worse than the year 536. Although history has produced several deserving candidates for the worst year ever, no single year has had a more demonstrably negative effect on the decades that followed. We'll explain why the year 536 was the worst time to be alive today.


Was the year 536 AD the worst ever? The 6th century boasted many exceptional events, people, and historical contributions. The exception, however, was one year that was particularly burdened with a level of tragedy and strife most historians say surpassed any other moment in history: 536 CE. This was the worst part of the Dark Ages.

There is an egregious error in temperature conversion in the second video. A drop of 1.6-2.5 degrees Celsius is NOT a drop of 34.88-36.5 degrees Fahrenheit. 1.6 C is 34.88 F, and 2.5 C is 36.5 F. It should have been obvious from the fact that the degree Fahrenheit is SMALLER than the degree Celsius. A degree F is only 5/9 of a degree C.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
