Description

 							Catastrophe: An Investigation into the Origins of Modern Civilization (2000)
  David Keys
  
  It
was a catastrophe without precedent in recorded history: for months on end, starting in A.D. 535, a strange, dusky haze
robbed much of the earth of normal sunlight. Crops failed in Asia and the Middle East as global weather patterns
radically altered. Bubonic plague, exploding out of Africa, wiped out entire populations in Europe. Flood and drought
brought ancient cultures to the brink of collapse. In a matter of decades, the old order died and a new
world—essentially the modern world as we know it today—began to emerge.
  
  In this
fascinating, groundbreaking, totally accessible book, archaeological journalist David Keys dramatically reconstructs the
global chain of revolutions that began in the catastrophe of A.D. 535, then offers a definitive explanation of how and
why this cataclysm occurred on that momentous day centuries ago.
  
  The Roman Empire, the greatest power in
Europe and the Middle East for centuries, lost half its territory in the century following the catastrophe. During the
exact same period, the ancient southern Chinese state, weakened by economic turmoil, succumbed to invaders from the
north, and a single unified China was born. Meanwhile, as restless tribes swept down from the central Asian steppes, a
new religion known as Islam spread through the Middle East. As Keys demonstrates with compelling originality and
authoritative research, these were not isolated upheavals but linked events arising from the same cause and rippling
around the world like an enormous tidal wave.
  
  Keys's narrative circles the globe as he identifies the
eerie fallout from the months of darkness: unprecedented drought in Central America, a strange yellow dust drifting like
snow over eastern Asia, prolonged famine, and the hideous pandemic of the bubonic plague. With a superb command of
ancient literatures and historical records, Keys makes hitherto unrecognized connections between the "wasteland" that
overspread the British countryside and the fall of the great pyramid-building Teotihuacan civilization in Mexico,
between a little-known "Jewish empire" in Eastern Europe and the rise of the Japanese nation-state, between storms in
France and pestilence in Ireland.
  
  In the book's final chapters, Keys delves into the mystery at the heart
of this global catastrophe: Why did it happen? The answer, at once surprising and definitive, holds chilling
implications for our own precarious geopolitical future. Wide-ranging in its scholarship, written with flair and
passion, filled with original insights, Catastrophe is a superb synthesis of history, science, and cultural
interpretation.
