  My Grandmother was born in Western N.S.W. Australia in 1880 and died in 1970.She clearly recalled the ash cloud which caused the vibrant red sunsets for years after.She told me that in later years her mother told her she heard a rumble at the time but it took a long time for details to arrive in the news paper, being so far from the cities.It was then that she knew what she had heard.

  I was born in one of regency in Indonesia, its name Pandeglang. But I grew up, study and now work in another city. But I always visit my hometown at least once a year. My village is surrounded by three mountains; Pulosari, Karang, and Aseupan. One of it &apos;stands&apos; like a wall, separated my area with the strait/sea where the Krakatoa is located. When I went to my hometown I liked to visit stream or small river, and I always amazed by big rock that seems like scattered fell from the sky, that&apos;s my thought when I was kid. Now I&apos;m 30. Later I thought, was that rock or stone came from mount eruption, but which mounts? Since my hometown is surrounded by three mountains, I mentioned above. And after I searched I don&apos;t find any record about erruption from three mountains I mentioned above. I never had a thought it came from Krakatoa until I watched this. I checked Google earth and took the straight line from my village to Krakatoa caldera right now, it&apos;s around 70 km away only. Anything is possible. One of my favourites rock is the rock which as big as dining table, almost 2 meter in diameter and height. I hope someday the scientist comes to my hometown to explore more about Krakatoa impacts. <br><br>~u

  As a person who has lived in 536 A.D, I can confirm that this is true.

  Another excellent program! &nbsp;I appreciate greatly the consideration and inclusion of South American &nbsp;and Central American civilizations. &nbsp;There are many documentaries which claim a global focus when what they focus on is really European and North American history. &nbsp;Well done 👍🏽
