Natural Disasters in Ancient Times

Natural Disasters Natural disasters in ancient times were unpredictable and dangerous. There was almost no way to know when an earthquake, a flood, or a volcanic eruption was about to happen.

Pompeii, 79 AD The first sign of the eruption on August 4 was an earthquake, which was ignored. Then more small earthquakes happened, and people became frightened and suspicious. Then, without warning, mount Vesuvius erupted, sending plumes of smoke and ash into the sky, and Pompeii and Herculaneum were buried under lava.

Antioch Earthquake, 526 AD In May of 526 AD, an earthquake violently shook Syria and Antioch. With 250,000 people dead, it was the third deadliest earthquake ever recorded. It was over seven on the Richter scale.

Plague of Justinian, 541 AD The plague of Justinian spread across the Eastern Roman Empire from 541 to 542 AD. It was named after the Roman Emperor at that time. The cause of the Plague of Justinian was most likely Bubonic Plague. An estimated 40 to 100 million died from this plague.

Alexandria Tsunami 365 AD On July 21, 365 AD, a tsunami swept across Egypt, killing thousands. Ships were carried two miles inland by the huge wave. The tsunami was caused by an earthquake in Crete, an island in the Mediterranean Sea.
