I saw it, and obviously he's right that there had to be a ton of factors involved.
The romance about the sea peoples is the more fun theory but what can you do?

>>2592710
I'm surprised he waits until the 25 minute mark to mention colder climate. I've always heard that the colder weather was THE factor that caused the Sea Peoples to migrate.

For another contemporary event check this out. It appears that there was a very large battle in Germany at this time. Bronze age Northern Europe is slowly coming to light.

No one says the sea peoples were the sole factor.

But their existence is documented by mutliple sources roughly during the same time, whoever thinks they were made up is even more idiotic than those who think they were he sole reason for the bronze collpase

Thanks for posting the article. It's fascinating, and I had no idea such a conflict had, or could have occurred in the area at that time.

No one is saying they were made up either. Just that every destroyed city doesn't equal sea peoples attack.

On a vaguely related topic, Lindybeige has an interesting video on bronze age British agriculture. I'll post it when I get off mobile.

I don't think anyone is saying they were the sole cause. But the destruction of the Hitties and the fall of Mycenae and the near bankruptcy of Egypt different changed what was going on in the world at the time.
