Hitekno.com – Group scientist recently conducted research on grave at time pandemic Black Death year 1346 ago. From the results of this study, scientists found surprising things about the pandemic period that occurred in that year.
During the Black Death pandemic in 1346, it was stated that the victims were buried in mass graves. Not without reason, this seems to be due to a crazy surge in the number of victims.
Reporting from Science Alert, the Cambridge University team conducted a new study using samples from 200 graves during the 1346 pandemic. For research, scientists took the teeth of the skeleton in the grave.
The results of this study are quite surprising because they can refute the previous story written in the history of the Black Death pandemic that occurred around the middle of the 14th century.
If previously it was mentioned that all victims of the pandemic were buried in mass graves, the results of the study of 10 graves from 197 graves actually revealed different things.
In fact, people in the past who were traumatized by the pandemic actually tried hard to carefully bury the victims of the pandemic in private graves.
”These individual burials show that even during the plagues, people were buried with great care and attentionsaid one scientist.
This surprising discovery then raises questions about how deadly the Black Death pandemic that occurred around 1346 ago was. The reason is that handling for victims of the pandemic is usually avoided to reduce the risk of transmission.
Regarding this, scientists will continue to conduct research on graves during the 1346 pandemic in order to understand the handling of victims of the Black Death some time ago.
