What if you got teleported to Marseille in 1347? #timetravelshorts #historyfacts #animation

[00:00:00]It's October 1347 and you just appeared on the docks of Marseille as 12 Genoese ships pull into port.

[00:00:06]The sailors on deck look wrong. Some of them aren't moving. The dock workers tie up the ships anyway. This is the single worst decision in European history. What those ships are carrying will kill a third of the continent over the next 5 years.

[00:00:20]And you're standing 20 ft away from it.

[00:00:22]The problem is you're visibly healthy, the healthiest person on this dock by a significant margin. In 1347, a perfectly healthy stranger who appeared from nowhere looks like exactly one thing.

[00:00:34]The dock workers stop backing away from the ships. They start backing away from you. You're going to miss a lot of things, mostly hand sanitizer and the basic human right of not being blamed for the Black Death.

[00:00:46]Drop a year and a place in the comments.

[00:00:49]I might just go there next.
