Plague Dr : A frightening historical perspective

Michael Anthony Alberta wrote this book to construct a sovereign nation on the high seas.

Unfortunately, he only got as far as its' foundational narrative, more like a horror story.

According to Mike, humanity experienced continuous growth after a horrifying famine and plague 666 years ago.

The House of Medici's chief physician was said to have invented PPE (personal protective equipment) to protect him from the Black Death.

Mike suspects this costume served multiple functions for Plague Dr, mainly to conceal his identity. Who was he? Mike envisions him as the 15th-century polymath, Leon Battista Alberti.

As the 1st humanist, he epitomized the Renaissance Man.

Alberti's treatises provided practical handbooks in the Dark Arts.

One book, De pictura, contained the 1st scientific study of perspective.

Perhaps his most substantial contribution was drawing the map Paolo Toscanelli sent to Christopher Columbus.

Alberti took holy orders and entered the service of the Vatican's papal court.

During this period; Mike contends the Medici sponsored Alberti's fabrication of Western Civilization.

Mike also suggests events attributed to the so-called Ancient East occurred during the Renaissance. Speculatively, Mike theorizes that humanity's shift toward behavioral modernity occurred after this viral outbreak.

Maybe he's right and we couldn't have made sense of anything after the Pest (Great Plague).

Traumatized, we might have been in a state of collective schizophrenia, displaying the psychological aspects of zombification.

For example, Tuberculosis (consumption) was said to cause visitations from "dead" family members who ate themselves to death.Those who were disease-ridden, displayed the physical aspects of (what we'd consider) zombies.

Bubonic, septicaemic and pneumonic infections that resulted from Y. pestis, also known as the Pestilence (Pest) appeared as "skin bubbles'' that oozed pus and gushed blood as they popped from growing too fast.

I find it hard to distinguish the difference between all Pre-Renaissance humans and zombies.

Thus, Alberti's behavioral adaptations forced humanity to "awake from the dead."
