On the Black Death of 1347

Sure you've heard of the Black Death, the medieval epidemic called 'plague', which killed a large chunk of the European population. It's said that this disease spread through fleas, brought by rats.

But there is something off with this theory: It is known, that rats and other rodent have a rather short history on Iceland (late 18th century), which was also struck by the plague. On the other hand China did not suffer from the plague although it was connected to the Silk Road, which is said to be a source of this sickness.

Have you ever considered an alternate theory?

European and West Asian sources mention a bright comet, Negra, which happened to be seen right before the mysterious sickness appeared. However, neither Chinese nor Japanese sources mention a celestial body in said years, both of who have a detailed astronomic history.

So why was the plague of ~1350 not known in China, that had rats, but in Iceland, that did not have rats?

Which brings us back to the comet Negra: if you are not fond with the electric nature of the universe, it's time to learn something: Comets are highly negatively charged rocks with eliptic orbits around the Sun. They influence all bodies they pass on their stellar journey.

Maybe let's briefly look at the symptoms of the Black Death:

- fever
- buboes (swollen lymph nodes)
- black or purple spots on the skin
- vomiting
- chills
- headache
- fatigue
- respiratory issues

Does it already ring a bell? There is another phenomenon, which leads to the exact same symptoms: radiation sickness.

So let us bring the pieces together:

The Black Death wasn't some mysterious disease spread by fleas! It was acute radiation sickness (above 2Sv) caused indirectly by the comet Negra: during the fly-by it dropped radioactive material into Earths athmosphere, which spread over the next years among the Silk Road and Europe.

This explains why it could appear anywhere in the greater area and no treatment would help. It also explains the appearance on Iceland, which was not connected to mainland Europe and it explains why Asiatic regions stayed safe.

"Shining Hearts on Fields of Sorrow" is the first Album by Aufbruch Europa. A spiritual journey into the heart of European history, the essence of its identity, and the question of transcendental renewal in times of nihilism and decline.

On genetics

If you already have children, you might want to explain the importence of genetics to them and refer to the above image.

Imagine you have the pure jelly bears on top. Distinct taste, clear colour. It references to the peoples, which express their racial spirit in clean cultures, like the Germans or the Japanese.

When we now start to mix these distinct groups on a genetic level, things will start to become unclean: the taste of the jelly bears deteriorates, you cannot distinguish it. The colors blend and eventually you will only face a brown goo.

If we use this metaphor on humanoids, we will see culture rotting away as we do nowadays in the West.

Hence one should strive to have children and grand-children in ones own image!

On Germany and the EU

How about a joke on this German election Sunday? No, not an imaginary joke, but something so hilarious, I just have to share it:

Starting with last January, there is a new tax, called the 'cake tax'. It has to be paid by little children, who sell self-made cake during school events like Carnival and it is set to 19%.

Isn't the EU great by enforcing such an obnoxious rule?

On the Schöningen Double-Pointed Sticks

In Schöningen, Germany, archaeologists found double-pointed sticks, crafted 200,000 years ago by early Europeans, likely Neanderthals.

These slender wooden tools, possibly throwing sticks, showcase precise craftsmanship. Sharpened at both ends, they reflect sophisticated woodwork and hunting skill. Their balanced design suggests aerodynamic mastery for small prey.

Preserved in sediment, these artifacts highlight Europe’s ancient ingenuity.

On 'tea' vs. 'chai'

Tea and chai - two words for one plant, Camellia sinensis, yet they carry the weight of continents.

Both spring from the Chinese symbol 茶, but their paths split like tribes on the move.

Tea comes from the Min Nan tê, carried by Dutch ships from Fujian’s shores to Europe’s courts. By 1610, it was thee in Dutch, then tea in English. Trading partners adopted the term, like the German Tee.

Chai, born from Mandarin chá, took the Silk Road west by continental traders. Through Persia’s chay to India’s streets, it became a spiced, milky brew. The entire Slavic world traded the plant this way, adopting the term.

Sip and know your history!

On nightcaps

Nightcaps might be outdated today, but they were worn for practical reasons in the past:

Warmth: They kept the head warm in cold, drafty homes. Many houses lacked proper insulation in the past.

Hygiene: Protected bedding from dirt and lice, which gathered in the hair during the day.

Health: Shielded against cold air and henceforth illness. Additionally there was a placebo effect to it: many people believed that sicknesses spread through 'evil fumes', which the nightcap allegedly protected against.

Status: Fine fabrics showed wealth. Nightcaps often were made of linen or silk.

Comfort: Reduced noise, kept hair tidy.

The pointed shape ensured a snug fit. Over time, as heating and hygiene improved, nightcaps became a cultural symbol, like in Dickens’ A Christmas Carol.
