Nobody in that picture would have been affected by the bronze age collapse.

>>1930196
Can we have a thread about this? My question for his is is there evidence of the Nuragic culture going through the same thing thing as the Minoans, Hittite s, etc

>>1930206
Also is there evidence of anything similar going on in Asia or the America's indicating some climate shift or something

Someone on this god forsaken board has to know something

>>1930211
If something similar did happen in Asia and America, it certainly wasn't as significant as what happened in the Near East. The Olmecs were around at the time of the collapse and they themselves didn't fall until around 400 BC. The Chinese even less so, because I'd argue that their civilization never truly "collapsed" at all. It underwent a lot of political changes, but never a full out collapse like you see with the Mycenaeans and the Hittites.

Great, I guess.

I'll just head down south to the free land the new Zhou rulers are giving for free.

>you were born after the polar shift destroyed the ancient Atlantean utopia

>>1930226
and Asia minor and the Levant were hit the worst, correct?

So what's everyone's favorite theory to why it happened? Sea people? A surplus of iron weapons? Environmental shifts? A combination of these factors?

>>1930221
The time of the Bronze age collapse in Mesoamerica corresponds with the rise actually of Preclassic people, the olmecs and tlatilco cultures. Mesoamerica you can say experienced three collapses. The first was the preclassic collapse, which led to the rise of the classic period. Second was the classical collapse of Teotihuacan, Zapotec, Maya, Gulf coast. The third was the collapse induced by disease and invasion of the conquistadors in all of Mesoamerica.

For the most part, but I'd say Greece was hit harder than the Levant. The Israelites and the Phoenicians managed to recover the region relatively quickly. It took the Greeks over 300 years to get back to where they were circa 1200 BC

the bronze age didn't "collapse". it just turned into the iron age.
