Yeah..., that happened in East Africa back in January of 2020... Ahhh..., I remember when people were complaining how bad January 2020 was. Those were the days. Remember when we thought the worst things to happen in 2020 were the fires in Australia and the threat of WW3 and Kobe Bryant's Calabasas helicopter crash. Good times. People in January 2020 ironically saying that 2020 would be the worst year ever: "Woooo, holy shit, January was rough. But it’s better to get the bad part of the year out of the way early, right?" Coronavirus/Covid-19 in January before infecting millions and killing tens of thousands of people: kzread.infoO5WbFb_Hi3E. Also, 2020 was four years ago... Time flies...

@@TheRacoonGhost the volcano of thera when it erupted essentially wiped out two civilizations. The Cycladic when the island of Santorini sank and the Minoan civilization with the tsunami-tidal wave that arrived after the explosion. Basically if you observe the Cycadic islands in Greece you will see how close they are to each other. The tsunami affected them all as the Santorini volcano is considered a super volcano like the yellowstone. Santorini is connected to Atlantis, the mythical continent that sank in the sea, while it was at its peak. The mystery surrounding the destruction of one and the disappearance of the other has preoccupied scientists for many generations. The initial discussions about Atlantis began with references found in dialogues of Plato 'Timaeus' (21 E - 25 W) and 'Kritias' (108 E - 121 C). According to the above, the Athenian lawyer Solon visited Egypt (590 BC), where a priest in Sais told him about the history of Atlantis: 'a great and magnificent state that ruled the surrounding islands' and owed its power her in the culture that had evolved in her. The kingdom consisted of 2 islands, the 'largest' and the 'smallest' and there were 10 cities. Of these, only 2 were specifically mentioned, the 'Metropolis' and the 'Royal City'. Then Atlantis suffered a terrible earthquake and flood and sank completely into the sea. Finds from the excavations at Akrotiri led the studies to the conclusion that the lost Atlantis was none other than Santorini. However, over the centuries, as the myth was repeated, experts began to disagree. Professor Marinatos recognized Atlantis as Minoan Crete. Maybe Crete was the 'big' island, the 'Royal City', while Santorini, with which Crete had ties, was the 'Metropolis' or the 'smaller' island. The question of whether Atlantis really existed or not remains unanswered to this day. Βut ..According to Plato, Atlantis was a large island (larger than Libya and Asia combined) in the Atlantic Ocean. Its borders extended beyond the Heraklion Columns to the Mediterranean, Egypt and Tyrrhenia (Italy). The powerful dynasty that ruled Atlantis, according to Plato, had emerged directly from Poseidon, god of the sea and earthquakes. That is why many reject the idea that it was Santorini or Crete ... because of the size of Atlantis mentioned by Plato. Most scholars now agree with the view held by many of Plato's contemporaries: Atlantis was part of the imagination of the ancient Greek philosopher. "It was just a strong literary construction, to talk about the rise and fall of a civilization. The catastrophic earthquakes of Santorini, according to many scholars, gave Plato the opportunity to create his own mythical state Atlantis, and to immerse it in the mystery of prehistory.

Are you sure that wasn't just a couple of busloads of seniors arriving in time for the Early Bird buffet?

7:20 I had always heard of how bad the mosquitos were in Alaska, but I went up in the summer (yup, Covid and all) and was astounded at not only their size, but their sheer tenacity, they thought my hardest slap was a cute come-on

Congrats on the show on nebula! Thats so cool. Wish you luck dude.

Joe: "Human body. Chances are you have one" My cat: "Yea, what about it"

Congrats Joe! Thanks for teasing your new project. There is a sweet bit of humor going from swarm behavior to announcing a show and sign up! I hope lot's do.

I've never heard it pronounced sicada (Cicada) before. It's pronounced Chicadda everywhere I've been (or Cigale in French). Brilliant video! Scotland is plagued by midges, horrible things. I signed up to curiosity stream in December through Joe, its excellent.

Alaskan here, very aware of our mosquito problem

Hey Joe, have you heard of the "Free energy" graphene circuit developed by the University of Arkansas researchers in October 2020? I would love to see your take on it in the coming weeks.

I'm glad you've shown me this website, so I know now when to mentally prepare myself for the maddening chirping.

I love this channel sooo much I need more Uploads!!

In Southern California we call cellar spiders daddy long legs.

Joe should give "when the cicadas cry" anime series a try, it has a lot of cicada reference.

Congrats man!

When I was a child, I got to sit through a ladybug swarm! I had no clue what was happening, but I figured out that I should close my mouth after one got in.

ngl insect swarms kinda bug me

“Lets talk about midgets”

woooooo!!! that's freakin' awesome Joe! Already signed up a few weeks back because you're VERY CONVINCING...and the 2-fer is an insanely good deal on incredible educational fascination :)

Love the shirt and the vid!

Wait... HAS it ever happened? Don't leave us hanging dangit!

No. They’re prime numbers so the don’t share and multiples.

@@tenkindsofpeople3679 They do share multiples, just no small ones. The two cicada cycles should fall together every 13*17=221 years. The question is: Does this mean a catastrophe every 221 years, or is it irrelevant?

@@renerpho huh. You’re right. I was thinking of the divisors, but it brings up an interesting point: is that 221 a cycle? Meaning from some starting point do they diverge after 221 or would it be like 13x17xn where n is cycle number?

This made me so excited because I did a project on mosquito population in my mathematical modeling class. This is so cool!

Very cool Joe, well done. 👌🏼

the mosquitos after florence and micheal in NC were so bad that when we were charting washed out roads in Wilmington we decided to get protective gear after the first day. They would come in swarms like thick fog and surround the trucks we were driving around in. I heard similar reports of them draining life stock to death as they couldn't get enough oxygen. These mosquitos were maybe 5-10 times the size of a normal mosquito and repellants often did nothing to stop them.

Has anyone had issues with upload alerts? This channel hasn't shown in my feed for months.

Baltimore's cicadas went nuts last year. And. Excellent Vid!
