TERRIBLE HAPPENING :

The sun was setting over Bergen, Norway's largest port. It was early July 1349, and a lone ship was crossing the horizon line off in the distance. The ship bobbed smoothly from port to starboard as it approached. The tattered sails and lack of movement on board were noticed by the residents of Bergen. The ship entered the bay as gently as it had appeared and ran aground. Onboard, every sailor was dead. The people of Bergen were well aware of what had happened across Europe in the past two years: a strange, terrible, life-consuming force had spread death and rot across the continent. Bergen had been spared till that day. Naglfar, a ship fashioned completely of the dead's nails and toes, was mentioned in Norse mythology. Naglfar would arrive at the start of Ragnarok, the Gods' twilight, and the end of the world. The ship of the dead would transport the forces of chaos to wreak havoc on the Gods' and humanity's domains.

 The ghost ship of Bergen, like Naglfar, had risen out of nowhere, bearing an agent of dissolution and chaos, humanity's scourge. The Black Death was a plague that ravaged Europe. 6:8 (Revelation) "And there was a pale green horse," I said. Death was the rider, and Hades was trailing after him. They were given sovereignty over a fourth of the planet, with the power to murder through the sword, starvation, pestilence, and wild beasts." What is the modern-day definition of the Black Death? If success is defined by how many trees are cut down to feed the funeral pyres, we may argue it was the most successful human conqueror in human history.

PREYED ON MANKIND :

If greatness is evaluated by how little earth is left to bury the dead, we may argue it was the greatest strategist. What became known as 'the Black Death was a bubonic plague outbreak that struck Asia, Europe, and Africa in the mid-14th century, rapping at the doors with the soft paws of a sickly rat, an unwelcome guest with cruel intent. When you consider how the Black Death spread, assaulted, and preyed on mankind; when you consider how effectively it surrounded and annihilated entire nations... well, you'd be forgiven for thinking that an even more terrible, unnatural power was at work, hell-bent on delivering the end of things.

It was thought that this pathogen, which causes both the bubonic and pneumonic plagues, was native to Central Asia. We don't know when the disease first transferred from mice to humans, but we do know about an early outbreak in China in 1331, which occurred under the reign of the Yuan dynasty. Kublai Khan, the grandson of Genghis Khan, started this dynasty. For more than a century, the Mongols had been an unstoppable force, but they had finally met their match. More than 90% of the population of Europe had died as a result of the Black Death. 

THE BLACK DEATH ORIGINS :

But this wasn't the first time humanity had been attacked by this nefarious angel: in the sixth century, the Justinian Plague, as it was known at the time, had spread its wings. However, a great deal of time had passed and a great deal of memory had been lost. When the plague reappeared, humanity was completely unprepared. The Black Death had been asleep for eight millennia, consigned to a purgatory of scant rodent prey. It was nearly lifeless as it awaited its day of retribution against its human foe. We were unable to determine why it detested us, but we did learn how much it despised usThe Black Death's Origins The origins of the Black Death are yet unknown. Maybe China, or the steppe region, where a plague reservoir stretches from the Caspian Sea's northwestern coasts to southern Russia. A disease reservoir resembles a vast tract of wilderness, almost entirely devoid of human life. It could have started out among a colony of marmots, rats, and other rodents there, hidden from view. 

All ignorant creatures bore the Black Death's henchman, a bacteria that later generations would classify as Yersinia Pestis. province, near Dadu, or modern-day Beijing, three years earlier. The calamity has claimed the lives of over 5 million people these were the outcomes of the conquering sickness in just one province. In 1200, China had a population of more than 120 million people, but a census in 1393 found only 65 million Chinese. Almost half of the inhabitants of a great Empire had died. As the Yuan Dynasty was supplanted by the Mings, hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people died in conflict or starvation. Millions more, however, had perished as a result of the Black Death.

OUTBREAKS :

Following the first outbreaks, Yersinia Pestis-infected rats and their fleas embarked on a westward voyage as stowaways in caravans traveling along the Silk RoadThe merchants would halt at the various caravansaries – or resting sites – that dot the Silk Road at the end of a long day's travel. The possessed fleas took advantage of these opportunities to infect rats, animals, and other travelers. 

Caravans upon caravans crisscrossing Central Asia's plains unintentionally fulfilled the Black Death's command, spreading the illness throughout Asia and the Middle East. Persia had been affected by the Black Death by 1335. The local Mongol monarch Abu Said perished from the bubonic plague during that year. The subsequent disease killed an estimated one-third of all Persians, signaling the beginning of the end of Mongol rule in the region as, Samarkand, and even Sarai—the seat of another Mongol kingdom, the Khanate of the Golden Horde—were among the Central Asian cities and people that fell victim to the Angel of Death. It's as if the Black Death had something personal against the Mongols. Perhaps it simply took advantage of their legendary mobility to travel to all four corners of the globe, charging a fee at each stop. The epidemic made no distinction among its victims as if the Black Death had something personal against the Mongols. 

Perhaps it just took use of their famous mobility to go to all four corners of the globe, charging a fee at each stop. 

The epidemic made no distinction amongst its victims. Any King, Queen, or Khan could fall prey to this trap. Out of the Pit of Despair, Each population center would have lost at least 40% of its residents during each plague outbreak. The mortality tolls reached as high as 70% in some cases. Understandably, residents of affected cities fled in fear, but this simply served to spread the diseases further. The Black Death quickly spread over the Middle East.
