Unveiling History: Exploring Solar Storms, Ice Cores, and Nuns' Teeth

Scientists are using advanced techniques such as mass spectrometry, ancient DNA sequencing, and climate analysis to uncover new insights into historical events. By studying physical remains and material culture, historians are gaining a deeper understanding of ancient civilizations and major historical events, such as the Justinianic plague and the extreme weather events of 536 AD. These interdisciplinary approaches are reshaping the way history is written and challenging traditional narratives about the causes of societal collapse and transformation.
