The spread of the black death.

Poland

Poland, tell us your secret.

Poland is the old new Madagascar. 

If I remember correctly, Poland’s secret is that the jews where being blamed all over europe (as usual) as scapegoats for the black plague. Poland was the only place that accepted Jewish refugees, so pretty much all of them moved there. 
Now, one of the major causes of getting the plague was poor hygiene. This proved very effective for the plague because everyone threw their poop into the streets because there were no sewers, and literally no one bathed because it was against their religion. Unless they were jewish, who actually bathed relatively often. When all the jews moved to Poland, they brought bathing with them, and so the plague had little effect there.
Milan survived by quarantining its city and burning down the house of anyone showing early symptoms, with the entire family inside it. 

I reblogged this tons of times, but the Milan info is new.
Damn Italy, you scary.

Poland: “Hey, feeling a bit down? Have a quick wash! There, you see? All better”
Milan: “Aw, feeling a bit sick are we? BURN MOTHERFUCKER, BURN!!!!!”

Also, this might have something to do with it: from what I understand, O blood type is uncommonly… common in Poland. Something to do with large families in small villages and a LOT of intermarriage. The black plague was caused by a bacterium that produced, in its waste in the human body, wastes that very closely mimic the “B” marker sugars on red blood cells that keep the body from attacking its own immune system. Anyone who has a B blood type had an immune system that was naturally desensitized to the presence of the bacterium, and therefore was more prone to developing the disease. Anyone who had an O type was doubly lucky because the O blood type means the total absence of ANY markers, A or B, meaning that their bodys’ immune system would react quickly and violently against the invaders, while someone with an A may show symptoms and recover more slowly, while someone with B would have just died. Because O is a recessive blood type, it shows in higher numbers when more people who carry the recessive genes marry other people who also carry the recessive gene. Poland, which has a nearly 700 year history of being conquered by or partnering with every other nation in the surrounding area, was primarily an agricultural country, focused around smaller, farming communities where people were legally tied to, and required to work, “their” land, and so historically never “spread” their genes across a large area. The economy was, and had been, unstable for a very long period of time leading up to the plague, the government had been ineffective and had very little reach in comparison to the armies of the other countries around for a very very long time, and so its people largely remained in small communities where multiple generations of cross-familial inbreeding could have allowed for this more recessive gene to show up more frequently. Thus, there could be a higher percentage of O blood types in any region of the country, guaranteeing less spread of the illness and moving slower when it did manage to travel. Combine this with the fact that there were very few large, urban centers where the disease would thrive, and with the above facts, and you’ve got a lovely recipe for avoiding the plague.
Interestingly enough, as a result from the plague, the entirety of Europe now has a higher percentage of people with O blood type than any other region of the world. 

WHY IS THIS ALL SO COOL

When Tumblr teaches you more about the plague than 12 years of school ever did.

Just to throw a nod in, as a medieval historian, this is all credible, and is the leading theory as to the plagues effectiveness at this point. So. Enjoy your new knowledge!

        Bodies , Climbing, and Deer: Zombie apocalypses are
 curiously lacking a large
 array ofent that could
 equipment that could
 neatly control the
 situation
 "But we can't build walls to contain them!"
 75
 Moves by truck, train or boat. Ridiculously
 common. And see those holes on the bottom?
 Mobile by forklift. Also, HEAVY, even when
 empty they're in the tons. If you had some
 warning you could string these things end to
 end for miles and human bodies can't move
 them. Plus they're nice and wide so you can
 comfortably walk on top of them for patrols.
 "But we don't have
 easy ways to kill them!"
 Put the shotgun down you fucking idiot.
 No tires to pop. Heavy and slow but inevitable.
 Climbing required to enter and thus, relatively
 zombie proof, especially if you spend like an
 hour to protect the glass.
 A lot of large farming equipment can destroy
 Want to guess what it'd do to a decaying
 human bady? It's not pretty
 Now I know what you're thinking. Merely
 lattening them with common construction
 equipment or farming gear isn't enough
 How about a
 tree trimmer that can mulch a tree top to
 bottom in nothing flat?
 OM NOM NOM NOM.
 "But we need ways to move a lot of people that
 zombies can't stop!"
 BEEP BEEP MOTHERFUCKER. Deer don't hawe
 a chance and neither does a zombie.
 But that's not good enough!"
 NOW it's time to call our friend the military
 because this ride stops for no one.
 Do I need to keep going or is it clear the movies
 are bullshit yet? Seriously a dozen prepared
 people with heavy equipment licenses could
 clear an entire street of zombies AND
 powerwash it after.

        America, Comfortable, and Family: She Was the
 Richest Black
 Girl in the World
 and It's a Shame
 We Barely Know
 Her Name
 Did you Know?
 Sarah Rector-By the age of 10, she became the richest
 Black child in America. She received a land grant from the
 Creek Nation as part of reparations. Soon after, oil was
 discovered on her property. By 1912, the revenue from this
 oil was $371,000 per year (roughly $6.5 million today).
 Despite various attempts to steal her land and fortune,
 Sarah resisted. She went on to attend Tuskegee University
 and eventually settled in Kansas City, Missouri where her
 mansion still stands.
Her name was Sarah Rector. She was a young black girl born in Indian Territory in 1902. Her parents were Joseph and Rose Rector, all of Taft, Indian Territory. Her story is similar to that of Danny Tucker another black child born in Indian Territory. He, like Sarah had a humble beginning, and he, like Sarah would make headlines for sudden wealth acquired by oil rich land. Early in her life, she received a land allotment like all who were members of the Creek Nation. Like thousands of blacks once held in bondage by the Five slave-holding tribes, (Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek and Seminole Nations) she and her family members received land allotments prior to Oklahoma statehood. It was a general practice that Freedmen often receive land considered to be of less value for farming as did citizens declared as Indians By Blood, and Inter-Married Whites. However, the story changed when oil was discovered on her land allotment, near Taft, Oklahoma. Her wealth caused immediate alarm and all efforts were made to put the child Sarah under "guardianship" of whites whose lives became comfortable immediately. Meanwhile Sarah still lived in humble surroundings. As white businessmen took control of her estate, efforts were also made to put her under control of officials at Tuskegee Institute. Much attention was given to Sarah in the press. In 1913, there was an effort to have her declared white, so that because of her millions she could ride in a first class car on the trains. Sarah's life continued as she began to get offers of marriage from around the world, and efforts were made to move her to Tuskegee. Because of the attention of the black press, her life eventually took a better turn, when individuals stepped in to intervene, and obtain a better lifetstyle for her. Not much is written about her adolescence, but it is know that she did attend Tuskegee Institute, and after she completed her studies there, she moved to Kansas City. In 1922, she married Kenneth Campbell. They were known to have many real estate holdings in the area. She and her husband purchased a home that still stands today in Kansas City. -blackpast.org SarahRector theblaquelioness

 shall.. well, this word is like.. literally it means unbecome, but
 it was used as a euphemism for death, pooping, and-wait,
 when was this carved? was it 15th century? Cuz it was a
 euphemism for sex too in the 15th century. This is either a
 cursed crypt, a bathroom, or a royal bedroom. Who wants to
 roll the dice?"
 You guys, I've gotta be honest, okay? This thing's written in some
 kind of weird localized dialect, and I've only ever studied the
 standard form of the language. I mean, this part right here..I can't
 even tell if it's some kind of error, or an obscure slang phrase
 whatever it is, I have no idea what the fuck it means."
 this is written in ancient sumerian. it's about... uh. well that word
 is.. uh. okay this is either a poem about farming, or straight-up a
 nasty sex guide. it might be both. i want a shower.
 okay see the thing is in one dialect this word is the name of a terrifying
 Demon but in a completely different language from the same area that
 has the same writing system and gave a lot of loan words to the first, it
 means horse
 and the context is really not helping"
 "You know what? This thing is bound in human skin and the walls are
 bleeding let's just leave.
The sacred texts said that there’d be chickens here, but all I can see are ducks
        

            
            

                
                
                    Dude, Movies, and Nasty: white dude in this horror movie translates old arabic text
 somehow it rhymes perfectly in english

        Africa, Community, and Facts: A man in Africa named Yacouba Sawadogo
 single handedly stopped the desertification of
 his region by reviving ancient farming and
 irrigation techniques despite being ridiculed by
 his community

Yacouba Sawadogo is an exceptional man – he single-handedly managed to solve a crisis that many scientists and development organizations could not. The simple old farmer’s re-forestation and soil conservation techniques are so effective they’ve helped turn the tide in the fight against the desertification of the harsh lands in northern Burkina Faso.
Over-farming, over-grazing and over population have, over the years, 
resulted in heavy soil erosion and drying in this landlocked West 
African nation. Although national and international researchers tried to
 fix the grave situation, it really didn’t really make much of a 
difference. Until Yacouba decided to take matters into his own hands in 
1980.
Yacouba’s methods were so odd that his fellow farmers ridiculed him. 
But when his techniques successfully regenerated the forest, they were 
forced to sit up and take notice. Yacouba revived an ancient African 
farming practice called ‘zai’, which led to forest growth and increased 
soil quality.

The way it works is really cool! You can read about it here.
There’s been a documentary about him, too

Something 19th and 20th century Western science consistently overlooked is that a lot of traditional methods are exquisite examples of the scientific method in action, the product of testing hypotheses and comparing results and control groups iteratively, over a period of hundreds or even thousands of years.
Respect ancient wisdom. Respect ancient science.
