The deadliest epidemic in human history and in Europe, Asia and North Africa. Between 75 and 200 million until the death of man known to cause Black Death A historic discovery was made about the epidemic. has long been on the radar of the scientific world. origin of the epidemic It was discovered after a long struggle.

In the new study, published in the journal Nature, scientists found that the deadly epidemic that peaked in Europe between 1347 and 1351 is today. In the region within the borders of Kyrgyzstan announced that it had been published. The discovery was made by re-examining tombs discovered in the area much earlier.

The DNA sample taken from the remains revealed the truth:

The stones in the graves, which were first excavated in the 1880s, were reexamined in 2017, scientists said. The study led by Phil Slavin of the University of Scotland found that the exact dates were written on 467 graves. These dates were focused on just two years: The years 1338 and 1339.

It was learned that the remains of 30 people removed from the graves in question had previously been taken to Russia. The team was able to obtain special permission to sample DNA from the remains. DNA samples were taken from the teeth of 7 of the 30 residues and the bacteria that caused the epidemic were found in three DNA samples. All three of these people’s tombstones had it written that they died in 1338.

The epidemic, also known as the Black Plague, first descended from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean via commercial ships in 1347. The epidemic then spread to parts of Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. Scientists have so far had a big debate about the source of the epidemic. Some researchers have in China arguing that, some are india; others the Caspian Sea considered it a tool.
