Notas del episodio

The Black Death or The Plague, was a devastating global plague pandemic that swept across Europe, Asia and North Africa from 1346 to 1353 killing a large percentage of Earth's population. On this episode we look at where it came from, how it spread and how it changed the course of humanity.
