The Bronze Age Collapse - Mediterranean Apocalypse(2019)

Sometime around the year 1100 BC, a wave of destruction washed over the Eastern Mediterranean. It wiped whole civilizations off the map, and left only ash and ruin in its wake. This catastrophe, known as "The Late Bronze Age Collapse", has become one of the enduring puzzles of archaeology. Historian Paul M.M. Cooper explores how and why so many societies could collapse all at once, seemingly without warning, as well as examine the lessons it might teach us in our increasingly globalized and interconnected world.
