Other proofs are delivered by tree rings from the Northern Hemisphere, revealing lower growth rates for over a decade around year 536. As the volcanic ash reached both poles, this means that the blast is likely to have occurred near the Equator. 533 and 536, matching a sulphate maximum level encountered in Antarctic ice. The ice Greenland sulphates were found to have been deposited between A.D. 'There is no need at the moment to invoke a large-scale extraterrestrial event as the cause, because the evidence is conclusive enough to say that it is certainly consistent with it being a large volcano,' said co-author Keith Briffa of the University of East Anglia in the United Kingdom. The debate was whether the disaster had been caused by a volcano or an asteroid clashing with Earth. 536 event, which according to ancient texts from Mesoamerica, Europe, and Asia, brought on a cold darkness that doomed crops, triggered wars, and boosted disease spread. This is the first physical evidence for the A.D.

An international research published in the journal 'Geophysical Research Letters' has found sulphates, molecules representing marks of an eruption, in Greenland ice. Its volcanic cloud could have triggered a global chill that caused famine in half of the world's population. The Krakatoa eruption may have been just a child play compared to the volcanic megablast that spread havoc in the human civilization around 536 AD.
