Could The Bronze Age Have Collapsed Along This Weak Link?

The Bronze Age Collapse is one of the most mysterious events in human history. Over a period of 100 years during the Late Bronze Age (~1200 BCE), nearly every major city was abandoned and burned. Fortresses were gutted, ports were abandoned, trade collapsed, and empires shriveled away and vanished beneath the dirt. It would be similar to London, Tokyo, New York, and Paris all collapsed within a few decades of one another. The cities that vanished in the Bronze Age were heavily fortified, heavily populated, and often served as the cultural and political capitals of their regions. The archeological record is clear, and it is unsettling. People have been scratching their heads about the Bronze Age Collapse for decades. Some have proposed that mysterious people emerged from the edge of the world and destroyed everything. These raiders are called the Sea Peoples. Others suggest climate change, or plague caused the collapse. But what if something else was to blame? What if it wasn’t Sea Peoples, plague, famine, or climate change? What if the Bronze Age Collapse was caused by shaky supply lines? <a href="https://grantpiperwriting.medium.com/could-the-bronze-age-have-collapsed-along-this-weak-link-7bce1831d73d">Click Here</a>
