What happened at the The Bronze Age collapse
Between roughly 1200 and 1150 BCE, many advanced Bronze Age civilizations in the Eastern Mediterranean, Aegean, and Near East collapsed or were severely weakened, including the Hittite Empire, Mycenaean Greece, and various Levantine and Anatolian city-states. Trade networks broke down, cities were destroyed or abandoned, and literacy and monumental building declined in several regions. Egypt, under Ramesses III, faced invasions from groups known as the Sea Peoples, traditionally dated to around 1177 BCE, though it survived in weakened form. Historians debate the causes, citing possible combinations of climate change, drought, famine, invasions, internal rebellions, and disrupted trade. The collapse ushered in a period of instability sometimes called the Greek Dark Ages.
