The Biblical Plagues

Scholars and scientists deal with six disasters that comprised some of the 10 biblical plagues, including deadly microorganisms that caused fish to die and stressors that upset the frog population.

A unique find in 2003 caused many to believe that the plagues could be linked to the eruption of a huge volcano around the same time period.

Researchers hunt for evidence to explain the 10th and final plague described in the Bible and the subsequent migration of the freed people.
