The Bronze Age Collapse

Around 1200 BCE, major Mediterranean civilizations mysteriously collapsed within decades. Mycenaeans, Hittites, and the Egyptian empire fell, writing systems disappeared, and populations declined dramatically. Theories include climate change, earthquakes, invasions, and systems collapse. This dark age lasted centuries, erasing entire civilizations from history.
