The Dark Ages: Were They Darker Than We Imagined?

Good Stuff!

A British author named David Keys has written a book etitled "Catastrophe" which hypothesizes that the volcano Krakatoa exploded/erupted in 535 A.D., causing a sort of natural "nuclear" winter. I learned about this book by watching the PBS series "Secrets of the Dead". Keys ruled out asteroids or comets as the cause based upon ice cores from the Artic which contained high amounts of sulphur from around 535 A.D. According to the Javanese (?) Book of Kings (reportedly) Krakatoa erupted splitting the island of Java into the islands of Sumatra and Java.
