what happened exactly?
Bronze age collapse
The brand collapsed
Iron techniques made it so any nigga with a spare $5 bill could own a weapon. Upset the social order of basically rich guys with armor vs poor guys with sharp rocks being every battle
niggers spawned deep underwater
ice age
sea route closed
no more Michigan copper
land overrun by Mongols
the first white boy summer
Jews happened.

Climate change brought economic instability. Economic instability brought the Sea People
Boat niggers.
Wide rang8ng supply chains couldn't recover from a disruption. Good thing that can never happen these days.
Unironically this.
Russians did evil stuff
>what happened exactly?
Plant agriculture failed, as usual, then everyone started going hungry, and this compounded upon all the other stupid shit.
Everything, like now.

Jews did this.
SEA PEOPLES!!!
Merneptah dropped the ball
No fucking clue. Perhaps drought, but I feel that even that is just a wild guess.
The story of the tower of Babel might have been inspired by the collapse of Babylon and the loss of the knowledge on how to read Cuneiform, though. Canaanite culture seems to have been heavily inspired by Babylonian and Egyptian culture, which was as mythical to them as it was to us. E.g. the flood came from the Epic of Gilgamesh, Moshe was originally an Egyptian character, the Exile was actually the vaguely remembered time when Egypt rules Canaan, etc.
We think of the "ancient times" as one blob, but even in "ancient times", people had their own "ancient times", and with poor record-keeping, those times was less known to them than ancient Egypt is to us. The Sahara used to be grassland 10K years ago; we have to this day no idea who inhabited the complex under Göbleki Tepe. I think it's also at least plausible that Atlantis actually existed and was destroyed somehow, and that Plato's claim to have learned about it in Egyptian records was actually true. This is to say nothing of what happened 20 or 50 thousand years ago.
People just caught up in the churn, is all. Same as now, just then. Let's see... probably disrupted planting and harvests that led to desperate migratory peoples on a fairly large scale. Excessive co-dependency between several regional powers... none of them could really stand much on their own... so if trade to one was disrupted, the effects would propagate to the others in unforeseen ways.
You're basically staring down a bronze era collapse type event today. It may not turn out the same way... it may get reconciled somehow... but all the pieces are in place for it.
tl;dr: jews
The (((Sea People)))
>Atlantis (Doggerland and other now submerged land masses) get swallowed by the sea
>refugees enter the Mediterranean seeking land to settle
>arrive and fuck over everything they touch like the niggers they are.
Jews. It's always Jews.

Bingo.
This is a big deal and it’s one of the things that I have changed my mind on since being on Any Forums and that is the idea of historical cycles. Belief in historical cycles verges on belief in historical teleology, however, the gaps between: the Yamnaya invasion; the collapse of the Bronze Age; the fall of Rome; and the imminent collapse of today’s society are eerily similar.
Highly specialized economy happened.
It was more profitable for whole regions to produce one thing then to be self sufficient.
Then some natural disaster fucked up the trade and toolmakers had no food,foodmakers had no tools .
The high tech chariot armies that lacked resources and could not operate were steamrolled by barbarian grunts who needed just spear and shields.
It was very likely triggered by a few consecutive bad raining seasons which caused people to flee in desperation, a similar crisis happened here around Constantine’s time according to chronicles.
>§3. Constantine the Great, following his baptism, said that our country Cyprus was abandoned for 36 years due to a great famine caused by lack of rain, and all the crops were lost. And the hunger grew great, and all the springs dried up, and people went from place to place with their animals looking for water so they could live. And everything dried up, the wells and the springs, and they left Cyprus towards all directions looking for rest. And the island was abandoned for 36 years.
Iron happened
The lead smelting made them retarded.
