[edit] Historical antiquity disasters

By chronological order of oldest to most recent --

  • 2345 BC climatic collapse, (based upon tree ring analysis) caused the drying out of the Sahara, with the Nile, during the reign of Unas, being reduced to a series of waterholes. The collapse of the Akkadian Empire has been linked with the Taurid meteor shower, and the break-up of the Encke comet.
  • Thera volcanic eruption of 1650-1628 BC -1450 BC caused tsunamis in the Aegean sea, destroyed Minoan fleet, leaving Crete open to mainland invaders; possibly the basis for the legend of the mythical Atlantis. Kevin Pang has suggested that this event might relate in some way to the start of the Chinese Shang dynasty.
  • The 1159 BCE Hekla event is of particular interest as it has contributed to debates on the Hekla 4 volcanic eruption in Iceland, and may be associated with the Late Bronze Age Collapse, and the end of the Shang Dynasty in China. The Egyptian New Kingdom traditionally spans the approximate range 1570 to 1080 BC. The 1159 BCE event was abrupt, as one would be expected with volcanoes, but it appears to have been promoted a pre-existing downturn in Egypt's domestic situation.
  • Rhodes earthquake of 226 BC destroyed the Colossus of Rhodes
  • Vesuvius volcanic eruption, Italy, 79 AD buried Pompeii, Herculaneum, Stabiae.
  • Climatic disaster of 535 CE, might have been triggered by an Indonesian volcanic eruption; grassland failures spurred migrations of Avars and others; plagues, conjectured collapse of Late Antiquity (David Keys' theory, in Catastrophe: An Investigation into the Origins of the Modern World, 2000. See climate changes of 535-536.
  • Plague of Justinian may have killed up to 50%-60% of the total European population between 541 and 700. The economic and demographic devastation caused by plague permanently weakened both the Byzantine Empire and Persia. That weakness, in turn, paved the way for the Muslim conquests and Slavic colonization of the Balkans.

An attack with much collateral damage may be considered a disaster, such as the attack on KdF Ship Wilhelm Gustloff, 1945, the worst or perhaps second worst maritime incident in history (after Cap Arcona in two vessels), in terms of loss of life in a single vessel (see also note at the end of the article RMS Titanic).
