Little ice age is literally the reason for dark ages, no other factor contributed as much to the declining population and famines. Also check out why 11th century is the most important period in medieval history and what happened AFTER little ice age ended.

Only civilization to get completely destroyed were the Hittites. Myceneans got rekt so hard the successors forgot how to read and write. Levant got rekt but survived with some Philistine scum added and Egypt didn't give a fuck. And in Indus valley the only thing that changed was the colour of the elite.

The Gobi desert and Himalayan mountains presented a bottleneck to Indo-European migration into China. Instead the Zhou adopted their chariot technology and used it to usurp the Shang.

Because the Shang Kingdom and its pet states weren't wholly connected to the Mediterranean trade routes that caused the domino-chain effect in that region in the first place.

In addition, while the Bronze Age Collapse in the ME happened, Shang had its greatest ruler: King Wu Ding.
