The term "worst year ever" gets tossed around a lot these days,
mostly on the internet, and for reasons like,
I was disappointed in the latest Star Wars movie.
But scientists and historians have actually
argued that no year in the long history of this planet
was worse than the year 536.
While, sure, there have been plenty
of worthy contenders for the worst year
ever over the course of history, no single year
has had more of a measurably bad impact for the decades
that followed.
Today, we're going to explain why the year 536 was the worst
year to be alive.
But before we get started, be sure to subscribe
to the Weird History Channel.
Oh, and leave a comment too and let
us know what piece of history you
would like us to explain next.
OK, now let's settle this once and for all--
year 536, worst year ever.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
While serving as a military advisor
to Belisaurius, one of the Byzantine Empire's
most distinguished generals, Byzantine historian Procopius
noticed some trouble was brewing in the air while traveling
with his boss in Sicily in the year 536.
He wrote of a sun that gave forth light without brightness,
during like the moon, during this whole year.
And it seemed exceedingly like the sun in eclipse
for the beams it shed were not clear nor such as it
is accustomed to shed.
Translated, it was all dark outside, like, all the time.
He, of course, wasn't the only one
to notice the sun appeared to be in a mood during 536.
Michael the Syrian, a Byzantine scribe,
would later write of this period, "The sun became dark
and its darkness lasted for 18 months.
Each day it shone for about four hours,
and still this light was only a feeble shadow.
Everyone declared that the sun would never
recover its full light.
The fruits did not ripen and the wine tasted like sour grapes."
This wishy-washy sun situation cast
a non-metaphorical dark cloud over the globe
that darkened the sky for at least a full year in 536.
Researchers later discovered evidence
of a massive volcanic eruption whose ash was likely
a major contributor to the Seattle-like weather, minus all
the rain, spreading ash and destruction on a global scale.
Not to mention, it made the grapes sour and the wine bad.
So that's an easy strike for the year 536.

Basic biology teaches us that plants
need the sun to aid in their growth and survival.
So not having direct sunlight for the duration
of at least a year did a real number on the crop output
around the world and sparked a widespread famine
around the globe.
