The real causes of the top ten disasters in Egypt

According to the Bible, there were ten disasters in ancient Egypt. Scientists found that it did happen, and it was caused by global warming and volcanic eruption.

Archaeologists now generally believe that the disaster occurred in Pi-Ramses, the capital of Ramses II in ancient Egypt (BC 1279- 12 13), located in the Nile Delta. Pi-ramses seems to have disappeared 3000 years ago, which scientists believe was caused by natural disasters.

After studying the climate of Ramses II, climatologists found that the climate of Ramses II changed greatly, from warm and humid in the past to high temperature and drought. The rising temperature caused the Nile to dry up, and the once swift river became a slow and turbid river. This triggered the first disaster recorded in the Bible: the Nile turned into blood.

Fugamachel, a biologist at the Leibniz Association in Berlin, explained that this was caused by a poisonous freshwater algae. Slow water flow and rich nutrients in the water will lead to a large number of toxic freshwater algae, which will dye the water blood red when they die.

Scientists have concluded that toxic freshwater algae have also caused the second, third and fourth disasters, namely frogs, lice and flies. Toxic freshwater algae will force frogs to leave the Nile water surface, unable to breed in the water, thus leading to frog death. Without frogs and other animals that feed on pests, the reproduction of mosquitoes, flies and other insects would be out of control. This will lead to the fifth and sixth disasters, that is, animal diseases and sores.

Another major natural disaster, the volcanic eruption on the Mediterranean island of Silla, 400 miles away, triggered the seventh, eighth and ninth disasters, that is, hail, locusts and darkness enveloped Egypt. Scylla is a part of the Greek island of santorini, located in the northern part of Crete, Greece. The eruption of Mount Xila 3,500 years ago threw hundreds of millions of tons of volcanic ash into the sky, which was one of the largest volcanic eruptions in human history.

Brom, a scientist of the German Atmospheric Physics Association, has done experiments on how hail is formed. She believes that volcanic ash collided with thunderstorms over Egypt, which dramatically produced hail.

Trevor Sanatu, a Canadian biologist, believes that falling volcanic ash will cause abnormal weather, such as more hail and higher humidity, which will lead to the emergence of locusts. Volcanic ash can also block sunlight and cause darkness.

The last disaster, that is, the death of the eldest son of an Egyptian family, should be caused by a fungus. This fungus first polluted the grain, and the eldest son usually ate it first, so he was the first victim.
