apocalyptic times

>>3146963
Sea peoples invasion - Bronze age
Germanic invasions- late classical

2 most obvious

>>3146963
>Collapse of Han Dynasty China
>Hundred years period where the population decreases by about 80%, mostly to starvation, but the endemic warfare doesn't help either.

Except it was seen as a heroic age instead of some Dark Ages.

whenever I hear about a great number of Chinese dying I never take it seriously, is it latent racism or human nature?

yall be talkin bout the apocalypse then but the greatest apocalypse of tomorrow will be the greatest yet

once the power goes out you better prepare that booty

>>3146981
Sea peoples were the consequence and not the cause of shit times.

>>3146963
Maya collapse of the late classic period. And fall of the Toltecs particularly during the reign of Huemac.

>>3147010
what century? any dates on events?

>>3147038
what make you say that?

>>3147049
>Toltecs
Anazazi go down at the same time, likely climate change in the southwest, triggers large migrations, famines, cannibalism, and made torture killing a folk art.

>>3147051
You usually get it defined as between 184 AD and ending at around 280.

As for big events, just check here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Kingdoms
Most of the population decline probably wasn't due to big name battles or events though; China's population at the time was supported by some fairly massive agricultural infrastructure works, especially huge chains of irrigation ditches spreading out from the Yellow river. Get a bunch of rampaging armies and smash up that stuff, and suddenly you don't have nearly the same kind of food production that can support about 55 million people.

>>3147054
Reality. Do you think the Sea Peoples just popped out of nowhere? There was a massive crop failure all over the Mediterranean, possibly of volcanic origin, which forced several previously settled civilizations on the move.

>>3147065
Tollense battle comes to mind, largest bronze age battlefield uncovered so far, in northern Germany. Exactly at the same time as the sea people show up.
So far DNA and strontium tests are not completed yet, but it'll be interesting to see where the combatants came from.

>>3147078
There's been evidence of massive migrations in that period as far as China, it was probably some gigantic cataclysm.

>>3147019
Please do respect their culture, it is a time honored tradition to thin out the population every now and then.

there have been raider cultures throughout history, every once in a while a really effective one comes by and kicks the shit out of the softer civilizations

>>3147105
Not really. Raids and pirates yes, but not a migration of an entire population that completely displaces/wipes out entire civilizations.

>>3147158
>Huns
>Mongols
>Timur
>Conquistadores

>>3147173
>conquistadores
Are you being retarded or just pretending? There was like 2000 Spaniards invading the Aztecs. What happened during the Bronze Age is that ENTIRE CIVILIZATIONS moved from one place to another, not just a tiny raiders group.

>>3147038
>Sea peoples come into your town, rape your women, and burn it to the ground
>NOT part of the apocalypse guyz!!!
heh

>>3147199
>not part
>part
Did I mention the word "part" in that post, you literal nigger?

>>3147190
There where then thousands conquistadores and early settlers in total , and they brought diseases, war, famine and slavery to an entire continent.

Relatively few Mongols did kill the so fare largest percentage of humanity ever.

Raider people are a fact.

>>3147105
Sedentary/developed fags being the "softer" civilizations is a massive meme. "Raiders" only ever took on empires when they were declining from the inside.

>>3147206
>Sea peoples were the consequence, not the cause
It really sounds like you're trying to say that the famine/economic decline was THE REAL apocalypse so yes. otherwise your post was just an excercise in pedantically picking on a guy who lazily said "sea peoples invasions" instead of "bronze age collapse"

>>3147224
Of course raiders are a fact, raiders populations however are mostly unheard of. Your best bet is the migratory period of the early middle ages, closest parallel to what happened and it also followed a massive catastrophe.

>>3146963
3rd century crisis, of course

>>3147226
Sea people invasions was just a part of Bronze age collapse. It was neither all there was to it, nor was it its cause.

>>3147236
Did I say otherwise??????

>>3146963
Mongol invasion of Iran

>>3147319
I wouldn't want be near Mongol hoards at at point in their rampages across the world. They were ruthless.

>2023
>WWIII

we'll enter it with strategic bombing, and asymmetrical skirmishes. we'll leave it with ai powered robotic death squads, and the absolute dominance of the multi-national corporate mega chaebol

>>3146963
Bronze Age Collapse

>>3147038
>some unknown barbarians coming out of bumfuck nowhere to destroy your civilization isn't the cause of shit times
