We still don’t really know what happened with the Bronze Age Collapse. Just mass invasions of the “sea peoples.” Idk if they were forced to migrate by other peoples, but they certainly conquered massive chunks of territory with big numbers.
Discussion
Man I discussed this with a friend today. I am not studied in geopolitics but in my opinion the situation around the world is very tense and could escalate at any moment.
The sea people were only one aspect of the Bronze Age collapse.
There were also famines, plagues, environmental disruptions, trade network problems, and massive depopulation.
