In the 1300s, one disease killed something like a third to half of Europe. With no germ theory and no antibiotics, how did anyone make it through?
This is the true story of the Black Death: where it came from, why the doctors got it wrong, and the clever ideas that helped humanity survive.
You Will Learn in This Video:
• The Real Origin: How the Black Death traveled from Central Asia to the walls of Caffa and then into Europe.
• The Germ Behind It: What Yersinia pestis is, and the three forms the plague could take.
• Who Survived: Why some people lived, from luck and isolation to clues hidden in their DNA.
• The Birth of Quarantine: How Ragusa and Venice invented the forty-day wait that we still use today.
• The Beak Mask: What the famous plague doctor costume was really for, and when it actually appeared.
