Evidence that might be missing from the history textbooks suggest that the Roamn Empire’s dominance rose due to a series of volcanic eruptions.
Sounds weird?
According to the teamwork carried out by vocanologists and historians, the time of the volcanic eruptions match with the time of the attacks and conjugal unrest.
That period was called Hellenistic and it was under the rule of Ptolemaic Kingdom. They used to rule over Egypt and North Africa. The downfall of the Ptolemaic Kingdom made way to the rise of Cleopatra and the Roman Empire and later the modern western world. Joseph Manning, a historian of Yale University said that the climate has had no impact on the downfall of Kingdom or the rise of Empire. He finds it very important that the facts about the climate distress and the restlessness of the Ptolemaic Kingdom are very clear. “There were revolts and social unrest from 245 BC onwards, down to the mid-first century BC,” Manning told the meeting of the European Geosciences Union in Vienna, Austria, last week. “One involved the entire river valley along the Nile for 20 years.” The root of the distress lied in a huge famine. The harvest of those years depended on the floods in the regions.
