Jan 27, 2026 #archaeology #history
This was the Laacher See volcanic eruption of 13,077 years ago, something akin to Mount Doom in the new Amazon Prime Ring's of Power series. It is located in Eifel, a low mountain range in western Germany and it goes down in history as one of Central Europe’s largest volcanic eruptions over the past 100,000 years.
In this video we take a look at this devastating natural disaster, as well as the hunter-gatherer population that lived in the region at the time of the eruption. Please subscribe to Space and Planet, Like the video and please leave a comment below. Thank you.
