The 1006 Supernova is the brightest on record. It was bright as the half Moon at magnitude -9 to -10. It was visible in the daytime. It happened near the star Beta Lupi. The remnant is really faint and is detected through a radio telescope. Later in that century, in 1054, another supernova exploded, which is now the Crab Nebula in Taurus. I have seen that object before through my telescope. I wrote about this supernova.

In that same vein
Why are there so many prehistoric rock paintings or etchings of space alien looking creatures both in Australia and the Nazca basin or northern Peru?
Did they witness something that long ago
