Step-by-step explanation:

The first-known plague pandemic occurred in A.D. 542. It struck Asia, North Africa, and parts of Europe and the Middle East. It is believed to have started in public granaries in Egypt or Ethiopia and spread as grain was transported to Constantinople. It is estimated that up to forty percent of the population in the great city died.
