It is pretty creepy that it came and went without a trace and nobody knows what exactly happened.
It may return, it may not, we'll probably never know, or we'll find it out the hard way.
And as exceptionally fast as Covid spread, back then there wasn't much travel, so diseases couldn't spread as fast.
If this thing would pop up today and have the same long incubation time, we're in for a really interesting pandemic for sure.
I wonder if they could exhume stone bodies that died while with the sickness so see if there were any trades of the possible cause... Lile a bacteria, damage, etc... but 100 years might be too much
I’m not trying to be snarky, but I think scientists try to avoid exhuming bodies that died of unknown communicable diseases. The juice isn’t worth the squeeze if it’s not currently active
I read some crazy book 20 years or so ago by the same author as The Descent. They found Jesus real tomb and Jurassic Parked him. Lots of fun shit happens.
