Explore how the Great Comet of 1744 shaped the 1700s Mudflood era, fueling climate shifts, buried cities a century of unexplained upheaval

Most people today have never heard of the Great Comet of 1744. That alone is unusual. It was one of the brightest celestial events ever recorded, bright enough to cast shadows on the ground and terrify half of Europe yet it has been quietly pushed to the margins of history

When you revisit the writings of the 1600s and 1700s, a different picture appears. The comet was interpreted as a response: to corruption to disorder, to forces misused by those in positions of authority. It arrived in a century already strained by strange weather, sudden freezes, earth disturbances, famine and the mass rebuilding seen across whole continents. And when you place this comet within the timeline of what we now call the mudflood era it becomes impossible to ignore
