- The final instalment in a long and repetitive documentation of my decent into insanity trying to unravel the mystery of the Bronze Age Collapse. Looking forward to a satisfying and all-encompassing conclusion? You'll be disappointed. enjoy!

clips from Oceans 11 (2001) Walking with Dinosaurs (1999) and Walking with Beasts (2001)
Someday soon the algorithm will notice this channel, great work GHV.
System collapse theory works for me, because you can apply it to today, if we suddenly lost electricity... The main Jenga piece in our tower.
This channel should have 800k views, UA-cam is so dumb sometimes
Sometimes 😂?
Love the Bronze Age and the collapse! Everyone today needs to watch and learn 🤔
You have fast become my favorite history channel
Thank you. Really satisfying conclusion to the story. Your style is so engaging that I'm amazed more people don't know about your videos.
Looking forward to you tackling another weighty question from history!
I think, in simple thought, it can be easily explained by a life motto or life realization of mine and that is that all things are temporary, all things, the good things, the bad things, things that are enjoyable, things that are loathsome, all things are temporary :P hope that helps ;) lol that last bit you said made me think, a post collapse society, a simple society with an ending to the complicated society that had fallen, could be a so called "return to innocence" that is a popular subject for philosophy, poetry and conjecture. Made me think of the counter culture of the late 60s and the "hippies" that would band together in a commune and there try to go back to a natural time, a simple time, a Utopia that once was ours, which, had little or nothing to do with the reality of day to day existence and supplementation of the needs of the whole, lol just made me think, and what I just wrote sent my mind off on a different tangent :D :P
2021 and there's still jenga towers everywhere
The systems collapse theory sort of reminds me of the crises of the 3rd century where so many things went wrong for the Romans at the same time. Had the Romans not pulled of their recovery and fell I think we would be having a similar conversation instead of them having a more slow and gradual fall.
Cruel fate. All my favorite UA-camrs uploaded videos while I'm at work. Well thankfully I don't work very hard.
5:09 "King Shibidibipudi" sounds like a great name for a cat or dog.
10:49 i was so worried about you spilling your tea
It came dangerously close
Nice video chap keep it up 👌👌🙏🙏
On the bright side if the word's happens on the West, have a better feeling of how Rome fell, or even how the bronze age could have multiple nations fall in Domino's
You are fucking great at this. More, please.
More on the way sir
so bronze age globalism was the biggest factor of the collapse
13:03 if we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominoes will fall like a house of cards. check mate!
I have a decent amount of late 70s early 80s Colin Renfrew videos in my library. My UA-cam library not my actual library of which there isn't one. I like the guy and he was probably a little ahead of his time.
Awesome 👍
That's fascinating topic. Thank you!
I found your channel a few weeks ago and i absolutely love your videos! You should set up a patreon soon dude.
Thanks! I reckon I'll wait until after my studies are finished and I can be sure of a more consistent upload schedule before I make a Patreon. But once I do, I'll be grateful for the support!
Great references!
GHV rocks!
I can tell you aren't a history professor because I learn a ton from every single video 😂
0:48 -- RE: Keeping it Simple (Stupid); I'm not here to dispute this opening gambit, but I am here to defend "Ocean's 11" not because George Clooney and Brad Pitt but because that film was a reboot and the OG 1960s Rat Pack version ought to be given its due.
*Moreover,* the Reboot and the OG film are lampshading this very gambit of yours, kind sir. The characters know that they're playing with a kind of "asking for big trouble" fire by Not keeping it Simple, which is exactly why they need to get as many people as possible, nearly a bloody dozen, in order to be able to cover all the necessary Angles because Duh, they're all War Buddies and that's how it's gonna work if it works at all. The OG film is aware it can go sideways, "no plan survives contact with the enemy / situation" type stuff.
The Reboot does it well though, mostly because Clooney's Danny knows he's going to be watched and going to be noticed, and *he* needs to make it look like it is Simple and that those other 10 guys running around are nothing to do with him. Danny's job *is* relatively simple, since he's after the Julia Roberts lookalike.
16:20 -- RE: "Is it stating the Incredibly Obvious? That complicated systems with lots of moving parts can fail in lots of ways..."; A: Fun Fact! I'm not much of an evangelist in my late middle age, but I do feel compelled to argue in favor of criticisms like this because of the influence of Discordian philosophy c. 1955 through 1973.
In short, the scientific concept of Entropy describes the effect that Chaos has upon all ordered systems, *and* the more complex *any* system is, the more sensitive it becomes to chaotic feedback, meaning that something which might only cause a slight bump in a simple machine will cause a much more complex one to fail in a quite spectacular way. The weird thing the Discordians insisted on noticing (which, I guarantee you, pisses off Fascists) is that human social systems will follow the same trajectory, and the more totalitarian the regime, the more it will be forced to respond to the smallest amounts of Discord and Non-Compliance.
So, I'll advance another hypothesis to you: is it possible that Positive Feedback Loops are a better way to describe the Bronze Age Collapse than a Domino Effect? Because that seems to me to be a more likely candidate when Economics is part of the equation.
Hey, great videos!! What is your accent from?? 👀
Small town called Bournemouth. Know it?
👍👍
