来自约旦200岁以上受害者的DNA证实,贾斯汀瘟疫是一种迅速、广泛流行的流行病。 DNA from 200+ victims in Jordan confirms the Justinian plague as a rapid, widespread pandemic.

在约旦的杰拉什(Jerash)的一个乱葬坑揭示了在一次事件中埋葬的200多人的DNA,从而提供了明确的证据,证明贾斯汀瘟疫,这是世界上第一个有记录的大流行病。 A mass grave in Jerash, Jordan, has provided definitive evidence of the Justinian plague, the world’s first recorded pandemic, by revealing DNA from over 200 individuals buried in a single event. 来自美国和澳大利亚大学的研究人员证实,该地点是一个迅速的埋葬地,与死亡的突然激增有关,显示出各种年龄和性别的受害者,很可能是受疫情困扰的流动人口。 Researchers from US and Australian universities confirmed the site as a rapid burial ground linked to a sudden surge in deaths, showing victims of all ages and genders, likely a mobile population trapped by the outbreak. 这些研究结果发表在《考古科学期刊》上,将遗传分析与考古背景结合起来,以说明该流行病对人和社会的影响,对抗过去的怀疑和强调流行病既是生物危机又是社会危机。 The findings, published in the Journal of Archaeological Science, combine genetic analysis with archaeological context to illustrate the pandemic’s human and social impact, countering past skepticism and highlighting pandemics as both biological and societal crises.
