Scientists may have uncovered what is the largest mass burial site in Europe.
The site in Nuremberg, Germany, contains the bodies of at least 1,000 people who died of the bubonic plague, which killed up to 60 per cent of Europe's population.
Described as a 'nationally significant' discovery, experts think the bodies were buried at the first half of 17th century following a ruthless wave of the disease.
The bubonic plague is spread by the bite of a flea that's been infected with a bacterium called Yersinia pestis.
Those afflicted died quickly and horribly following a bout of high fever, shivering, vomiting, headaches, delirium and 'suppurative buboes' (swellings).

Plague ping.
In other words, be glad we live in the Modern Warm Period, regardless of how many times the lying left says to hate or fear global warming.

Always strikes me as a bad idea to disturb such things. You never know what lies dormant inside.
Bookmarking for the eventual “Bring out your dead” pic.
The plague recently showed up here in the USA. Maybe it was introduced by and illegal; sorry, undocumented worker; who are responsible for building America. Marxist Dems wants them all to have full benefits, even greater than American Citizens.
Were any of them not dead yet and felt fine?
Thanks rdl6989.
Yeah, really, what’s the deal? We’re almost ten posts in, and, plllt, nothin’. :^)
Plague gets far too little attention in history.
Academic History generally hates plague. It robs graduate students of PhD dissertation subjects for large swaths of years. Intricate analysis of migration and economics and this and that are rendered absurd when a disease is killing off entire towns.
The quote is glibly 60% of Europe. It was also huge %s of China. In fact, if South America had not been spared, the total % of mankind erased would be up around 70%.
And no one really knows what stopped it. No reason this was not an extinction event.
There was a rush by governments to diminish the realities of plague during Covid in order to keep people happy and voting for the various Deep States. The aftermath of that is to avoid the reality of my previous paragraph.
US patient dead from bubonic plague as concerns rise over ‘ongoing risk’ of rodent-borne disease
Not long ago, archeologists opened an ancient Egyptian sarcophagus and found skeletons partly submerged in some red liquid of unknown origin which was eventually determined to be sewage from a nearby building mixed in with the human remains.
Bad as that was, there were people who thought it would be a good idea to drink that liquid.

No, bubonic plague is endemic in the western states, including Oregon, where I live. Has been for a very long time.
I know of no plague epidemics in the Americas. Who brought it over from Europe, and when?
Good question.
We have several completely empty (like everyone left, leaving their goods in place) indigenous villages in the desert SW. One on our ranch in NM you can only access by a narrow gorge and then built into a cave system. Spring fed water flowing out from the mountains.
It’s on private land and we’ve kept it fairly quiet to avoid looters.
The university people we’ve let see it think it was plaque or more likely hanta virus which ripped through North America in the late 1400/1500s. Greatly depopulated the Americas just in time for Europeans to come in force.
Plague! Stupid quick correct.
Well, plague, sure, but dental plaque in no laughing matter either.
Doubtful mass graves at former concentration camps found after the second world war have thousands of bodies in them😶
Europe has many many mass burial sites.
Every century is a bloodbath over there.
Thanks, I’ve been watching that thread too.
