535 AD Ancient Krakatau: a Super Colossal Eruption

 Monday August 27 1883 at 10:00 West Indonesian Time (WIB) is the last time residents in the vicinity of the Sunda see the sun rise to its peak. Half hours later, they intensify the life of the sea waves tow at up to 40 meters ... The number of all 36,417 people came from 295 villages in the coastal area of Banten and Lampung. The next day and next day again, far to the Jakarta and Lampung not see the sun again - darkness.

What's going on in the day of Resurrection, as was the eruption of Mount Krakatau in the Sunda.the voice heard up to 4600 km so far and heard in the area of 1 / 8 the surface of Earth. many writing and film in the world is made of this virulence Krakatau eruption. University of North Dakota volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) to include two Gunungapi around the world who letusannya worst in modern history: 1883 Krakatau (VEI: 6) and Tambora in 1815 (VEI: 7). Both in Indonesia, not far from us. Hopefully we, the Indonesian people - especially that they call himself Geologist, remember about this two volcanoes.

However, the documents show that  Krakatau eruption in 1883 is not the only super erruption. Previously, also still in Krakatau, its erruption that seems far more formidable than the 1883 eruption, which occurred during the history, the Hindu kingdoms in India's first 400 years or 500-an-an AD (Anno Domini, BC). Of course, this explosion is not aired many written especially for our knowledge of it is still uncertain, though real. Is B.G. Escher (1919, 1948) based on the investigation and Verbeek (1885) - both of them is a Dutch geologist who long worked in Indonesia - the sort Krakatau eruption history since the times of history - modern.

Currently, in the Sunda Mount Anak Krakatau there (born in December 1927, 44 years after the Krakatau eruption occurred in 1883), which is surrounded by three islands: Sertung (Verlaten Eiland, escher 1919), Rakata Kecil (Lang Eiland, escher, 1919) and Rakata . Based on geological research, this island is the third edge-edge craters / kaldera the eruption of Mount Krakatau (Ancient, 400-an/500-an AD). Escher then do the reconstruction based on geological research in the third batuan2 island characteristics and Krakatau eruption in 1883, then out the evolution erupsi stunning Krakatau (Krakatau's scheme escher evolution can be seen in the book van Bemmelen, 1949, 1972, or in all modern books about Krakatau ).

B.G. Escher told that, first there is a large volcano in the middle of the Sunda, we called it ancient KRAKATAU developed by the andesitik rock . Then, this volcano burst  great  and make a large crater at the edge of the Sunda-edge into Sertung islands, Rakata Kecil and Rakata. Then a cone volcano growth comes from the edge of the crater islands Rakata, it called Rakata volcano , made of  basaltik rock. Then, the two appear in the middle volcano crater, named  Danan volcano and  Perbuwatan volcano. Both volcanoes then integrates this with the Rakata volcano that appears first. This is the third union volcano called KRAKATAU. Year 1680, the Mount Krakatau erupt lava andesitik acid. On 20 May 1883, 200 years after the fall, a large erupsi occurred, and continue to peak until erupsi occurred between 26-28 August 1883 (This is the eruption of Krakatau in 1883 was famous). Erruption has cast 18 km3 rock and volcanic ash.  Danan and Perbuwatan volcanoes  lost because erruption and decay, and half-cone Rakata volcano lost because of decay, making cavity kaldera selebar 7 km deep as 250 meters. December 1927, CHILDREN KRAKATAU appear in the middle of the kaldera.

How much and when the ancient KRAKATAU  erruption happen? This is the main purpose of me this time any posts. document that was compiled refer to two-digit year: 416 AD or 535 AD. AD 416 is a number derived from an ancient Javanese texts, entitled "Pustaka Raja Purwa" which when translated reads: "It's the sound of thunder comes from the thunder of Mount Batuwara. There are a frightening jolt Earth, total darkness, thunder and lightning. Then came the storm and wind and chilling rain storms darken all the world. A big flood came from the Mount Batuwara and flow to the east toward Mount Kamula. When the water menenggelamkannya, Java separate into two, creating the island of Sumatra. " In others, a Syrian Bishop, John from the Ephesians, wrote a chronicle in the years between 535 - 536 AD, "There are signs from the Sun, the signs that have not been seen or reported before. The sun became dark, and its darkness take up to 18 months. Each day, only for four hours, that is uncertain. Everyone said that the sun will never get light again. "  China's Dynasti  in the document notes: "the sound of thunder very loud sound of thousands of miles away to southwest China." (All excerpts taken from the book Keys, 1999: Catastrophe: A Quest for the Origins of the Modern Worls, Ballentine Books, New York).

that historical document that can be true or doubt. However, further research to find a lot of trace-ion trace sulfur derived from sulfuric acid found in the volcanic samples rock core (core) layer of ice in Antarctica and Greenland, when ditera age: AD 535-540.  volcanic sulfur track spread to both the Earth: the south and north. Where again, if not from a region in Gunungapi Equator? gathered data, and there, all data point to a point in the Sunda: Krakatau! KRAKATAU ancient eruption is the cause of all that.

KRAKATAU ancient eruption so terrible, so that all the accused as the cause of the darkness into a century in the world. Disease Bubonic plague (Bubonic plague) occurred because the temperatures freeze. This plague has been significantly reducing the number of people around the world. Super cities of the world soon ended, the triumph of the century ended the ancient Persian, Roman transmutasi Kingdom to Kingdom Bizantium happens, the South Arabian finish, ending the biggest rival Catholic (arian Crhistianity), peradaban2 fall in the ancient New World - the end of the state metropolis Teotihuacan, city of extinction large Tikal Maya, Nazca and the fall of civilization in South America is full of puzzles. Keys words (1999), all the darkness of the world this century occurred because of that mega natural disasters , reduces the heat and sun light for 18 hours, refrigerate the global climate.

K. Wohletz, an expert volkanologi at Los Alamos National aboratory, support research David Keys, through a series of simulation ancient KRAKATAU erruption  happens to the sixth century BC is. Article (Wohletz, 2000: Were the Dark Ages Triggered by Volcano-Related Climate Changes in the Sixth Century? - If So, Krakatau Volcano Was the Culprit? EOS Trans American Geophys Union 48/81, F1305) showed how simulation dahsyatnya erupsi this. Here are some excerpt. Erruption of the orbit was 200 km3 magma (compare with the 1883 Krakatau 18 km3), creating craters 40-60 km, a powerful explosion occurred during the 34 hours, but continue to occur for 10 days with the mass discharge 1 billion kg / sec. Eruption Plume shield has formed in the atmosphere setebal 20-150 meters, lower the temperature 5-10 degrees for 10-20 years.

That is, escher investigate and Verbeek have Ancient Krakatau erruption ; the  history document of Indonesia (Pustaka Raja), Syria, and China recorded a very terrible disaster that occurred in 5 or 6 th century BC; ice cores in Greenland and Antarctica record tracks with volcanic sulfate ion age of 535-540 AD, the incident of  Century Darkness Until the whole world going on to the century-6, and  Ancient Krakatau  erruption volcanologi simulation : everything seems to be able to support each other for a Super Collosal Eruption of Krakatau Proto-535 AD.

  1. Oh the joy to find another person researching this subject! My research itself cannot be done without running into the disasters following the "event" of 535 A.D. of the later Western calendar! I was relaunched today while re-reading the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles & starkly seeing the entries about the darkening sun. And to think you're there in Indonesia, such a pivotal place in respects far beyond the various guises of Krakatau/Anak Krakatau/Krakatoa/Proto etc., ad nauseum, ad infinitum, as the rift there has & will always exist.

    My research in linguistics & history of this century led me right into this disaster of some sort (Cymry/Welsh/Britons & the plague & invasion by the Germanic peoples, as well as the plague & demise or Western Roman hegemony in Europe, well revived in my view & only now cracking up--ex., the colonialism that affected Indonesia itself, eh?).

    The very destruction AND creation of the Sunda Straits, the horror of those who saw this & survive, the desolation of those who had no escape....Do keep me posted on your research, please?

  2. glad to see this article was help your research, but this just an article that i collect from many sources, so i guest its not my research somehow, so sorry, but i cannot help you more than this article...thanks for visiting

  3. The Javanese date may be correct. There was famine in Italy around that time, and the siege of Rome by the Goths.

    It may be that those events are connected with ancient Krakatau rather than the later event. I think it a little unlikely that the Javanese histories would be in error by a century..

    The 536 and 540 CE dates seem to coincide with volcanoes in Mexico and Equador. Krakatau may have erupted in the same year but it is also possible that it erupted at the time recorded in the Javanese documents and caused an earlier catastrophe.

    A parallel may be seen in the 1815 eruption of Gunung Tamboro that was not connected with events in Europe until revealed by correlation of research in the Twentieth Century. A bad year around 416 CE (or a few years earlier) would not have been connected with a volcano so far away.
