Imagine finding a mass grave where 200+ people were buried in just days—turns out, that’s exactly what happened in ancient Jerash during the world’s first pandemic. Scientists just confirmed it was the Plague of Justinian, and the way the city handled the crisis is wild. They stacked bodies in an abandoned civic space, showing just how overwhelmed they were. It’s the first time we’ve got both DNA and archaeological proof of a plague mass grave. History just got way more real! #Health #BodyHealth #Archaeology
