No, because only Greece and Anatolia collapsed and Anatolians still kept using Luwian hieroglyphs

>>3100508
If not the Late Bronze Age Collapse, though, what historical precedent do we have? Is there no good precedent?

>not the Crisis of the Third Century

>>3100515
none

the biggest civilization falls are these:


1)Indus valley civilization, fallen in 1800 bc but India was never properly civilized and urbanzied at that level again until around 300 bc

2)Fell of the Roman empire

Impressive de-urbanization, most infrastructures are lost and trade is much less frequent

3)Here's the Bronze age collapse, Greece loses writing and state level societies for a few centuries, West Anatolia too loses state level societies for a few centuries and Eastern Anatolia too, even though to a lesser degree and while still retaining writing

4)Mayan civilization collapse

For 50,000 years we lived in caves and went 'ooga booga' until magic agriculture time happened and we all built cities.

ABRACADABRA!

>Roman empire above the Bronze Age collapse
I hope youre not implying hierarchy here.

Where's the Finno-Korean Hyperwar factor into this?

>Hittites get fucked
>Minoans get fucked
>Mycenaean Greeks get fucked
>Cyprus gets fucked
>Egypt gets hurt so bad they will be a colony for the next 1500 years
>even Assyria gets hurt badly

The only things that come close are the fall of the Roman Empire in the West and maybe the collapse of the Maya. WWII wasn't even that bad.
Imagine a future event that will surpass all of them.

OP here, that's precisely why I asked this question. I like apocalyptic and dystopian fiction, and so I wanted to look into any and all historical examples that come close to the shit you see in Mad Max and Fallout.

Obviously none of these collapses that have been named in the thread so far are the result of a sudden unraveling of order due to either massive destructive war or the loss of a vital resource, but still, it's interesting to see how history shows societies really collapse.

The Assyrians and Shang China both made it out alive.

>>3100868
so did Egypt and most Phoenician city states

We're currently living in that event you guys.
How can you read so much history and be THIS blind.
The streets of europe are full of invaders, they will collapse europe into dark ages within our lifetimes.
