For those who say 'nothing ever happens,' they simply haven’t been paying attention!
Catastrophic events and the global collapse of civilizations have occurred multiple times throughout history—and some of them are very recent. I kind of understand the added years and the Tartaria conspiracy theories, and how everything ties into the 'Dark Ages' starting from 536 AD!
So let's dive in this deep rabbit hole! Full thread, part one! (1/14)🧵
Right around the time we're taught that the Renaissance began in 14th-century Italy, around the 1300s, the Little Ice Age (LIA) also began, lasting from 1300 to 1800 AD.
During this period, the Sun entered multiple Grand Solar Minima, the ocean currents weakened, crops failed, cosmic radiation increased, and plagues—like the devastating Bubonic Plague, or Black Death—wiped out more than half of the global population.
The estimated world population before the Black Death (circa early 1300s) was about 400 to 450 million people. By the end of the pandemic around 1351, it is estimated that between 150 and 250 million people had died—roughly 30% to 60% of the population in some regions. Ice core and tree-ring data suggest that a series of volcanic eruptions (~1310–1340) occurred prior to the Black Death.
Large earthquakes in China (1336–1337) triggered famines and population displacement under the Yuan Dynasty.
One of the strongest historical earthquakes in Central Europe struck in 1356, destroying much of the city of Basel. (2/14)🧵
For example, 1709 – amid the Maunder Minimum – was called “the Great Frost,” one of the coldest winters in 500 years, when rivers and even the Baltic Sea froze.
Such frigid conditions caused mass starvation in Europe; France lost an estimated 600,000 people to famine in 1709–1710 alone.
This suggests that massive devastation and a reset of civilization occurred during the period known as the Little Ice Age. I can only imagine what kind of chain reaction a similar event would cause today, when we are far more dependent—for example, on electricity—while people back then were much more self-reliant.

After this period ended, one of the first waves of modern UFO sightings occurred in the United States, known as the "phantom airship" sightings.
Main wave of sightings occurred between 1896 and 1897, primarily in the United States, with notable cases in:
- California (beginning in Sacramento, November 1896)
- Midwestern states such as Iowa, Illinois, Kansas, and Nebraska
- Texas (most famously the Aurora incident in April 1897)
UK & Global sightings:
Similar airship sightings were reported in the United Kingdom and Scandinavia in 1909. These airships often displayed advanced features—such as searchlights, metallic bodies, and strange propulsion systems—that did not match any known technology of the time.
To me, this indicates that a breakaway civilization separates from the general population during times of crisis—just like today, where billionaires are building doomsday bunkers. (4/14)🧵
So the years—especially the 1300s—were extremely difficult, marked by the collapse of civilizations, and this hardship lasted until around 1800, when the population boom began. Since then, the global population has grown from 1 billion to 8 billion in just 150 years.
But 800 years before 1300, around 536 AD, another mass extinction event occurred, and this period is known as the 'Dark Ages'. (5/14)🧵
In 476 AD, when the Western Roman Empire fell and the world entered into the Dark Ages, Polaris became the North Star around 500 AD.
This period, known as the 'Late Antique Little Ice Age' (~536–660 AD), marked some of the coldest winters in the last 2,000 years, accompanied by numerous volcanic eruptions.
In 536 AD, one of the largest volcanic eruptions in recorded history triggered a global climate catastrophe. Ash and aerosols in the atmosphere caused a 'volcanic winter,' leading to significant cooling and widespread crop failures. But now it gets interesting... (6/14)🧵
A massive volcanic eruption (possibly in Iceland or Central America) occurred around 536 AD, releasing ash and sulfur into the atmosphere.
Contemporary records from China, Europe, and the Middle East describe a mysterious fog that dimmed the sun for over 18 months. The Byzantine historian Procopius wrote that "the sun gave forth its light without brightness, like the moon, during the whole year."
Chinese sources mention summer snow and crop failures, devastating the food supply. Low temperatures, even snow during the summer (snow reportedly fell in August in China, which caused the harvest there to be delayed).
Additional volcanic eruptions in 540 and 547 AD prolonged the cooling and famine for another decade. The 539–540 AD eruption of Ilopango in El Salvador was one of the largest eruptions in the past 2,000 years. It led to further climate disruptions, extending the 'volcanic winter.'
The map shows 20 locations worldwide where climate change (blue bars) and societal disruptions (green bars) occurred during the Late Antique Little Ice Age (536–600 AD). It illustrates how volcanic-induced cooling impacted different regions, with some societies experiencing greater social collapse than expected based on temperature change alone, suggesting other contributing factors like political instability or resource shortages.

Researchers have identified a Grand Solar Minimum around AD 520–570 contributing to this civilization reset events.
In the aftermath, the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire and Sassanian Persia were hit by the Justinianic Plague (bubonic plague) starting in AD 541, which killed millions – by some accounts up to half the population in afflicted regions. During this time, 75% of the population of the Northern Wei Dynasty in China died.
Due to the harsh conditions, a plague killed one-third of the population in the Byzantine Empire in Europe, and in Mesoamerica, the entire population of the great city of Teotihuacan perished.
Between 80 and 120 million people died during this time, while the world population was around 190–200 million. (8/14)🧵
During times like these, the most advanced and densely populated civilizations tend to suffer the most due to their way of life, while those already accustomed to harsh conditions—such as those living in deserts—often later emerge as conquerors.
This is why Europe suffered the most and was nearly conquered by the advancing Arab forces, who rose in strength and easily overtook weakened and distressed nations.
Now imagine who would suffer the most if a similar event happened today: the modern world, which heavily relies on technology and centralized food distribution. (9/14)🧵
In both of these natural disasters and during the 'Little Ice Ages', the Sun entered a Grand Solar Minima. It is expected that the Sun will enter another Grand Solar Minima sometime between 2030 and 2040. Perhaps all these wars around the world are being fought over rare earth minerals and resources—and over who will rebuild and lead the new civilization after the Geophysical Event. (10/14)🧵
Another strange anomaly that seems to tie all these disasters together is the Antikythera Mechanism—widely considered the world’s oldest known analog computer. In reality, it is a complex geared mechanical device used to predict astronomical positions, track solar and lunar eclipses, and model the positions of planets—functions that are crucial for tracking disaster cycles and the Ages of Man.
The estimated Date of Construction is circa 150–100 BC (some sources say as early as 205 BC) (11/14)🧵
Devices as complex as the Antikythera Mechanism for tracking the sky were not built again until 1,400 years later, which is a strange anomaly that blurs our understanding of this period. That’s why I understand all those conspiracy theories about missing years and Tartaria.
This is the astronomical clock built in Prague in the 15th century, which tracks the positions of the Sun, the Moon, and the zodiac constellations. (12/14)🧵
Two Grand Solar Minima have been identified by some researchers between 150 BC and 100 AD, though they are not widely discussed by the majority of scientists.
In my opinion, these Grand Solar Minima occurred around the time of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra, when an extraordinary climate-altering event struck the ancient world. In the winter of 43 BC, the Okmok volcano in Alaska’s remote Aleutian Islands erupted in one of the largest volcanic events of the past 2,500 years.
This cataclysm unleashed a sulfur cloud that circled the globe, causing a sudden and massive drop in global temperatures that persisted for decades. During this difficult period, the Age of Pisces began and marked the coming of Jesus the Messiah, who came to warn us about what was to come. (13/14)🧵

One of these events is similar to what we are witnessing today: a limited geomagnetic excursion, climate change, and mass migration.

All these civilizational resets are not part of the four main cycles when the seasons change—symbolized in the Bible by the cherubim angel with four faces: the Lion, the Bull, the Human, and the Eagle.
