On: Why 536 was ‘the worst year to be alive’

[craftyguy]

Here's one article I could find with quotes from historical documents:

https://www.thoughtco.com/dust-veil-environmental-disaster-i...

The wikipedia article also has some additional sources and information:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_weather_events_of_535%...

The reference sections at the bottom of each of those pages are full with further sources that may help answer your question.

As an aside, OP's comment was voted dead. For asking an on-topic question. Seriously HN?

Thanks for sending these. It's incredible that even societies that lived as far away as Peru were affected by this. It amazes me that civilization in any form could move on past something like this.
