It began when a peculiar fog enveloped the European continent, shrouding the sun in a blue haze. Europe, the Middle East and parts of Asia were plunged into darkness 24 hours a day, for 18 months. The widespread dust veil event caused temperatures to plummet, ushering in the iciest decade of the past 2,000 years. Snow fell in summer, and there was widespread crop collapse from Ireland to China, resulting in mass famine. Irish chronicles report a three year “failure of bread”. Those who survived the long, cold blackness were met with even more horror in the years to come. The chilly gloom may well have precipitated an epidemic of bubonic plague, known as Justinian's Plague, which swept through the Mediterranean in A.D. 541, costing up to 100 million lives.
