We follow up on the state of contemporary politics as covered in our last episode before turning back the clock to discuss one of the genuinely apocalyptic periods of the past, namely the Late Bronze Age Collapse. Does the sudden dissolution of several ancient Mediterranean societies have anything to teach us about our current situation? Who were the Sea Peoples, and are they coming back? Should we still live in fear of their return? How does this relate to the Trojan War of Ancient Greek literature? We talk about contemporary scholarly consensus on what caused the Late Bronze Age Collapse, paying specific attention to Eric H. Cline's book, 1177 BC: The Year Civilization Collapsed.
This episode contains spoilers for the Late Bronze Age Collapse.
