The Black Plague by Dr Callahan

[xander7ful]

This is an excellent presentation. Some of it I knew and some I didn't know. I've been told that I died during the Black Death, but that was so long ago that I'm sure I've forgotten most of it, so this helps.

I'm in 7nth grade and 2 weeks ago I learnd about it

This is the generally accepted theory of how the Black Death spread through Europe but there is one major flaw: black rats which host the fleas that distribute the bacteria were not common in most European countries at the time. Furthermore, the outbreak spread much faster than what is today known to be the typical spreading pattern of the Yersinia pestis bacillus. So there seems to have been at least another agent at work causing this disaster.

fireants kill fleas and rats, so I support their arrival from South America. If the Europeans had had fireants, then the fireants would have killed the fleas and the rats.

[Fonzi79]

Yesterday I was servicing a trouble ticket for a phone company. The end users home was disgusting. Their were six dogs in the home, dog dropping on the floor, flies were every where, and the home smelled like a dead rotting animal. The worst part was their was a baby in the house covered in flies.

[jasadin]

Did you call somebody about it?

[enyawix]

They would know who called. I do not know how the phone I work for would react. The town I live in is based on a buddy system. A few families control everything. You never know who is who.

Thx for uploading this vid

[samloveslfc]

Oh dear ........ where did this guy get his facts from ....... royal family burned down london NOT lol ....... it started from a spark from a bakers oven in pudding lane. Also it is Atishoo, Atishoo, referring to the flu like symptoms, not ashes, ashes ......... the bodies were generally buried in mass graves called plague pits, not burned ......... but hey, why let facts get in the way of a good story lol.

[DrCallahan]

Im Dr Callahans son & I posted this vid

The observation that the fire started on Pudding Lane has already been noted

There are several Plague Pits the first was in London 1665. But it wasnt long before Britain (along with Europe & Asia) began cremating bodies. Partly out of fear of the disease & partly out of the fear that the decd would come back as the walking dead

There are 6 different versions of Ring Around the Rosie its the English version that replaces Ashes with A-tishoo

Hello I'm searching videos on the distribution of major impact..fcuk U IM 13

[theXrockXfan]

scary...i've read about this

[STEVEGET]

Great plague of London was rife 1665, by 1666

it had diminished significanly,then the great fire of London started accidentally at a bakery on Pudding lane in 1666.

[cmingay14]

dude u no nuthin the great fire of london was started in a bakery not by the goverment

[basilbrushnz]

It was going so well until he brought up the myth about ring a ring o rosy, It didn't come from the plague, look it up.

[jebus963]

I know the Black plague was terrible and cut off a lot of the world's population but now the world is getting overcrowded and people are running out of resources. So we can either wish for another plague, starve to death, or fight in wars for resources. either way people are gonna have to die.

[basilbrushnz]

Stop having so many children is the best solution, the population will decrease over time and no one suffers.

[monkeyman1397]

To wish for death goes against most sane people's ethics...

[rdevil666]

1.plague=thats a bad thing especiously if we got the third form of it then theyd die by the end of the day

2. starving=your gonna have to wait about 70 days if that were to work

3. why does violence have to be the solution? why cant it be a peaceful way?

[pomponi0]

The world isn't overpopulated, you tard. Cities are.

[billaaaaaa]

u cunt !what a thing ti say, if anything does happen it should happen to people like you!

[70426hemi]

the plague is a scary disese that makes you look ugly

[PunkRingOfHonorX]

That was extremely informative. Youtube would have certainly been a huge benefit back in my ol' History classes.

[poopeatingcat101]

ya cats are cool

[1ewq1]

I'm not very impressed by this video. The Great Fire of London wasn't in 1365! I think the year he's looking for is 1666. The theory of the King ordering it is a bit of a stretch; there were lots of accidental fires in that time, and there is no evidence of Royal arson. Then we have 'Ring a ring o' roses', a song unknown until the 1790s. It is generally accepted that it's nothing to do with the plague of 1665, or any before that date. I'm not sure about the routine killing of cats, either!

[polymath0]

The great fire of london was not in 1665!And as for the royal family ordering it ha ha ha!

[dlmartin777]

Video is ok but the fact is that Europeans did not bath frequently,but history shows that some bathed ritualistictly. Case & point "the Roman baths " "the Greek baths" and even Egyptians had crude plumbing during the Pharonic dynasty. The Bible even speaks to this fact in the old testa. when Soloman was getting horny over Bathsheba an African queen of Sheba. He watched her bathe see the word BATH in her name.

[ckomada]

bathsheba was soloman's mother. David stole her from her rightful husband uriah

[Yardie187]

Killing off the cats cause an increase in the number of rats, everything including nature has a balance.

[annabee148]

ROFL

[iliyaa]

Hey this guy says they didnt bathe...I understand serfs but wat about Knights... Im pretty sure every morning they would take a warm bath then put there armor on.

[tomtensben]

They took a bath once a year or so, absolutley not every day.

[Blakey1997]

they didnt bathe because they thought it was a sin ccos like somthing about their skin. the king queen lords and ladies only bathed like 1 a year.

[CULAVE]

This is the first time I have seen the event referred to as the Black Plague. I have only ever seen it referred to as the Black Death.

[lebouski]

It's their fault they got the plague. Because the drowned cats. Anyone who hurts a cat deserves a horrible death by a disease like the black plague.

[cole3454657]

yu fuck off those ppl suffered a horrible three years and they did it because the church forced them

[lebouski]

: (

[daddybinky]
