2. The Bronze Age Collapse - Mediterranean Apocalypse

SUPPORT THE SHOW AND WATCH AD-FREE: Sometime around the year 1100 BC, right at the end of the Bronze Age, 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. I want to explore how so many societies could collapse all at once, and seemingly without warning, as well as examine the lessons it might teach us in our increasingly globalised and interconnected world. ** Fall of Civilizations the book is now available to pre-order: ** Support Fall of Civilizations on Patreon: Follow the podcast on Twitter: Credits: Voice Actors: Shem Jacobs Jacob Rollinson Jake Barrett-Mills Bryan T
