- The Late Bronze Age Collapse by History of the World Podcast.
1200 - 1050 B.C.E - All of the societies of the Near East either weakened considerably or disappeared altogether. What could have possibly happened to cause this dramatic turn of events?
In this episode Chris discusses the Late Bronze Age Collapse and a variety of factors that contributed to it covering various subjects such as climate change, violent migrations and etc. He presents a world thrown into economic crisis, violent chaos while also touching on the often and unsuccessful efforts of various peoples and nations to reestablish control during this almost apocalyptic experience. I thoroughly enjoyed this presentation and I hope you do as well.

What climate change in bronze age, there were not enough cows farting back then for the city governors to dictate climate crisis agendas
I am a Bronze Age Collapse addict. Thanks Eric Cline and my Ancient Mediterranean History professor, Dr. Douglas O'Rourk.
These podcasts are worth repeat viewings.
I have a BA in History, I've found your Channel to be the most valuable source of academic knowledge which contained so many college lectures. Thank you.
Thanks for checking us out, and for taking the time to enjoy what we do, your kind words mean the world to us!
Very chuffed at having stumbled across this cultural gem. Thanks. You prevent my brain from dissolving into rice or tapioca pudding.
So much better than any biblical literary narrative that leaves so much unexplained and misunderstood about the Middle East. These are superior in format, audio and clarity. Will save to view again and again for each historical nuggat. Thank you.
Chris does the best lectures. He’s the reason why I subscribed to your channel.
Thanks for making this available on UA-cam. It was very informative and the opinions presented are rational. Plus, ancient Anatolia and the surrounding regions are historically fascinating and always get my attention. Thanks, Nick.
Bert Jordan thanks for taking the time to enjoy the episode! And I agree the geographical area presents a history I can only keep studying.
I am so glad to see you have the Will & Ariel Durant's books on the History of Civilization. Their series is still, IMO, the best overall history of the world. If one starts there, they will get a very good foundation in history. From there, they can go into more specific histories and understand the context of what they are reading.
Craig Dillon yes, I love the Durant series! The Age of Napoleon that I have is signed by him and his wife. Must reads for sure.
This is a great channel, great job man.
Your channel is so fascinating! And, this might be weird, but I have fewer nightmares if I listen to it as I fall asleep! Thanks for helping me get through the night!
This is the coolest episode yet. Well done!
Thank you so much for all your excellent videos and guests. I still have so much more to watch!
Thanks Nick!
Really appreciate you and your work.
Cumb Dunt I appreciate your support!!! And thanks for taking the time to enjoy the presentation! If you enjoyed the speaker check out the links above to his other works, absolutely great!
Has got to be one of my favorite vids at this point . Thank you brother hope all is well
BOB BARKER excellent we are happy that you really enjoyed it! Definitely one of my favorites as well. I really enjoyed trying to make the art work capture his story.
It's a job well done .
Thank you I love your clear voice it allows one to lay back and listen rather than just watch.
Thanks. Be sure to give the podcast series a try.
Every other day I get on my inversion table to stretch my back and enjoy listening to good English I will enjoy your channel If you like a laugh though you may enjoy Graham';s gormless Kitchen, Or sexual encounter with a Yowie. Or check out Stone Pyramid found in Australia, I was a mason I built it.
I have been laying in bed and listening Evey night. It's a wonderful podcast.
Nick you're less than 1000 away from 20K subs, glad for you. Both volumes of The History of the World podcast series are gifts to history fans. Enjoy your weekend.
William Justice thank you sir! And I couldn’t agree more The History of the World Podcast is superb! Can’t wait to hit 20K!
Thank you so much!
What are your thoughts on The Late Bronze Age Collapse and the hard work put in by the History of the World Podcast??
A great lecture. Where did you get that map with all the hilarious things on it like (we have nothing else going on here so this is a guess)?
I thought the narrator's voice, tone, articulation was extremely close to what one would deem, "professional." Perhaps the script writing could be tightened up a bit for flow, delivery, grammar, punctuation (& all that) but I'd submit that final determination to be made, again, by a "professional" or well known professor of English/Literary standing, who'd make the necessary editing additions/subtractions/suggestions.
Video portion was well done also to my POV or standards, but i'll admit i'm an "old timer" who's easily impressed by the gains in technology over the past 2-3 decades and not as critical (in this area) as some may be. Only thing that could've topped it would be more live or "lively" shots per se. But i'm reaching here....lol.
Overall......"Good Show old chap!" (as was once said/heard....in old-time London; but not anymore...or so I am told; SMH)
Thanks ever so much for the feedback Al. I think that Nick has done a lovely job of breathing life into the podcast. Not bad for a couple of amateurs! Thanks again!
@@kargs5krun you should get a job as a TV critic.
@@MrKmanthie If the Almighty had led me that way, surely i would've followed that path. 🤗
Love your work!
Found you on You Tube...fantastic series, sound is fine, maps and content are amazing....thanks so much for all your effort! -Henry
Thanks Henry.
Those Illusive Sea Peoples the more I try to figure out who they were the more questions I have. There are a LOT of different theories which just makes them all the more mysterious. Thank you for this very interesting presentation.
Thanks for the great video Nick! You have really added something engaging to the story with the imagery. Thanks to everybody who watched it and please feel free to ask any questions about the content.
Hey thanks for allowing me to use your excellent content! The art work is nothing more than the icing on the cake and I am thrilled to watch the views keep rising.
I am happy to see this video soar past 20K!
Great video and great information. Merci beaucoup!
I will definitely listen for more.
De rien monsieur! Merci a vous!
Wonderful! Thank you!
sound quality is excellent, very clear
Thankyou so much for this 😁
Thanks for your efforts
How did I not catch this yet? I laugh proudly at Nick's 18k Subscriber moment....80k later. Good stuff
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💕Fave subject, fave narrator - total enjoyment.
Great work thank you
Blimey mate the Gaffer lectures!! ☺
Great ideas about late bronze age collapse
Will Durant in the background! I read the first 10 volumes completely! Amazing study! Actually I used Will Durant like an outline/Syllabus.
I love the Durant’s! The volume on Napoleon that I own is signed by him and his wife. I have always loved their work!
@@studyofantiquityandthemidd4449 My focus was directed toward religion. The Jesuits, Islam, the Huguenots. My view is 90% of history revolves around religion, something the public educational system avoids.
@@studyofantiquityandthemidd4449 i paid like $90 for the whole set on Amazon no signatures... ahh
rgalunas I feel like I payed a similar price! The DJs are in great shape and that signed book was a bonus, haha. And I completely understand. Studying religion is a must when it comes to understanding history and the times of said history! I have always found it fascinating as well.
We had a brilliant history teacher and from time to time he read us passages from Durant. Nice to see it mentioned here.
Too many losses, nobody seemed to have won anything. Just decline everywhere... Mass evacuation from a cataclysm indeed. A minor impact preceeded those events. A major one ended the ice age. Geocosmicrex channel. Mr Carlson has enlightened thoughts upon this and most other disruptions we suffered in our past.
it is the nature of climate change, it effects everyone, usually in very negative ways. If your area is not devastated by drought, you will be devastated by the people from the regions that are devastated by drought, or sea level and temp changes and the many challenges to survival during such times.
Thanks, good material. The sound is ok, you might want to chop all frequencies below 100hz as there is a bit of hum.
I've noticed this a lot more recently, especially when listening on headphones. Thanks for the very helpful observation.
Great video. Any thoughts on Hattushash falling due to civil war amongst the Hittite King and his General Brother?
This guy's conclusions are in line with what most historians seem to think nowadays... that the Sea Peoples were an amalgam of ethnicities/nationalities from across the eastern & central Mediterranean, and that they were being forcibly displaced due to climate changes (likely drought) and the wars over scarce resources that ensued.
Methinks that once scientists check &/or perfect, DNA studies more meticulously in the future, we'll have a better understanding of who those "sea peoples" were....with some corroboration of archeological finds/studies of course.
Not many! DNA studies are really revealing things about all ages of history that we could only ever imagine finding out previously. Wonderful point well made.
He needs to come to youtube.
See we Palestinians are happy you are a doing a video about our people the Canaanites. Thank you shalam salamu
Your soun quality is very good. One thing you may not know is that there was a major natural catastrophe at this time, an enormous tsunami caused by a giant earthquake that probably laid troy low after the mycenaeans had completely failed to take it. It is alluded to many times in the Illiad and related myths (laocoon for instance). It is also mentioned in the annals of merneptah from the point of view of the captured sea peoples (who were predominantly greek amd confederates) if i remember correctly.
Yes, absolutely! This is an incredibly valid point, and in an area of great seismic activity as the two tectonic plates crunch and grind against each other. There definitely were earthquakes in and around this period. It is very difficult to ascertain how large and exactly where they took place, but you absolutely cannot discredit the earthquake theory, and in my humble opinion, it had to have taken something on that kind of dramatic level to instigate such a radical shift on so many powerful societies. Do you believe that the demise and weakening of Mesopotamian societies (Kassites and Assyrians) was as a consequence of a major impact on the trade network, or just pure coincidence?
I have read a lot and seen presentations about this subjects from experts in Academia and I will say that all the information presented in this video is accurate and current. I also think it was a combinations of things including war, famine, forced migrations (displaced peoples) and even possibly (although highly disputed), the eruption of Santorini.
Thanks for the comment. I think that this is why this subject is so fascinating. It's partly to do with the awesome geographical scope of the events and beyond that, the sheer amount of feasible reasons for the catalyst that invite so much discussion. I must admit that I feel more confident when I say that the widespread scope is down to the interdependency of nations that I do in my conclusions about the catalysts. Thanks for the considered feedback.
This is like listening to cab driver in London telling you over his shoulder and saying '...those Hittites...great blokes...I had a few in the back of my cab once'... Like it.
My accent dangerously and regularly attempts to upstage all my hard work!
Interesting point of view
Nah, the My-se-knee-uns will sort ‘em aaht, mate!
I don't hear any sound quality issues via my ISP & speaker set up. The chap from Prague may have to look into those two areas, on his end of things.

I like theory about Luwians - that they destroyed Hatti. Of course we must to dont forget about famine, earthquakes and desplacement of various peoples.
The lifelong research of Professor Claude Schaefer must not be overlooked in regards to the Bronze Age Collapse. ✔️
Haha I have a presentation on the bronze age collapse and its influences on the old testament due on the 8th of May. What a coincidence LOL I'll check this out
Brilliant! I wonder how our conclusions will compare!
Is there a list of Chris's videos somewhere
Thanks
Great to listen to. Thx for posting. 🍁🏳️🌈🇨🇦🌸
The interesting thing is there is an state in IRAN, called Elam
Excellent video, and your analysis sounds correct although I would add possible break-down in the society classes - the warrior/priest/kings lost their respect of the people.
RemusKingOfRome5 yes he did an excellent job!! Thanks for your thoughts! That is a very interesting perspective!
Excellent review. I’d always felt that the 20-year span and resultant post-war diaspora described in part by Homer’s Odyssey & Illiad conveniently filled the “sea peoples” identity, but I feel much better about the author’s inclusion of climate change as a catalyst for regional flux. While it seems as-yet prehistoric (pre written records) I’d love to see some understanding of the 8000 years between the time of post-cataclysm sea level rises and the rise of the Sumerian & Egyptian cultures. Gobekli Tepe is a first step, but without apparent written records...
The idea seems “fringe” but I wonder if truly ancient cultures realized that stone & metal are impermanent over millenia and stored data in the DNA of plants with unusually large genomes. Plants live far longer than human constructions...
The History of the World podcast does cover the Neolithic during the second half of Volume 1 - The Prehistoric World. There is still so much to discover about the time period after 1200 BCE though. DNA and palynological studies are very recent branches of scientific study that can hold the key to many things. Thanks for the comment.
Hows this for a theory on the sea people. The black sea flooded, the water level rose by 20meters. The peoples of the civilisations on the shores of the black sea, now all underwater, all migrated, some via the Dardanelles in to the Mediterranean others overland into the Hittite empire
Amazing video/commentary. Hard to find unbiased info anymore..
Glad you liked it! And we appreciate that!!
Thanks for recognising the desire to be unbiased.
Interesting. I still feel that everything seems to always focus on the Greece to Mesopotamia to Egyptian area. Although I don't believe in Atlantis as a separate island out in the Atlantic ocean, but if actually located in the desert 'Eye' in North Western Africa, these or some other apparently unknown civilization could have started some Mediterranean migration. Or any of these undefined groups moving tin into the Eastern Mediterranean empires. I don't think all of these Western European peoples are adequately included in this period.
Tuscany being populated by former Greek island folks shows some major migration out of the Eastern Mediterranean area, but most don't look at the Italian peninsula until the Romans we're around.
Hello Mark. Yes, this is a complete historian trap that you can stumble across time and time again. Human nature always wishes to simplify history for ease of comprehension. So why should we believe that a human being wanted to expand westwards and his son wouldn't want to head back eastwards? The fact that we have a comparative dark age after 1200 BCE really does make it impossible to discredit most points of view. It is also a fact that we are consistently finding evidence that our forefathers were much more technologically advanced than we give them credit for. There had to be a trade network stretching into Europe and much of it based around metallurgic resource. Great point.
@Russell Richards Sardinia Atlantis? No but it is amazing how all the med islands were populated although long before anyone talks about major sea faring cultures... apparently we've been using boats a lot longer than folks wish to address.
The Eye is not Atlantis, try talking geology 101
8.50 What is the strange arm positions?
I don't know the source for this picture. Maybe they're shackled?
I have a feeling this was a Spartacus type time that yes various events from economy, climate and rebellious people sick of tyrannical rulers maybe sparked revolt that migrated and grew . You get common peoples who got lived off raiding until exhaustion .
Sea people, Canaanites, the people from nowhere, Greeks/Turks that came by boat and settled in Levant and Canaan, now called Palestinians . . .
I love your Aussie accent!!
halfstep44 I’m pretty sure that’s an English accent.
Nah, Tasmaaanian. Can’t yaaaah tell?
I think he's a barrowboy from north London actually.
As a Dorian, I should like to apologize on behalf of all my people for displacing my fellow Greeks, the Aegeans/Mycenaeans (who subsequently joined with other dispossessed “SeaPeoples”, thereby causing the LBA collapse). I feel in part responsible - so even if a bit belatedly, sorry guys!
If it is true, who displaced you?
History of the World podcast - No one; we’re still around. Our home is a little place in Central Greece - Doris, the wooded heartland of the Dorians.
Oh no sorry! I meant in the first place, to make you move into Greece!

If i was rich ill pay for you to make a movie or a series of this.
what a hot collier touch... baery
Thanks for referring to the dating as BCE
it would have been nice to say a few facts about how impossible it is to simply discover smelting metal. like bronze
Hi Borsu. This is actually part of a podcast series, so it does have a small degree of assumed knowledge. There is actually a podcast episode dedicated to metallurgy and another to the Hitties who were key to the beginnings of the Iron Age. Thanks a lot for the feedback though.
They started by cold-working naturally occurring metallic copper, and probably discovered smelting by accident.
The earth was going through cosmological cataclysms at the time being discussed here. Asteroid hit Gulf of Mexico 4,800 years ago. Bible stories are about that and reflected from other world cultures. Mortal danger came from overheard in known cycles so people dug and hid in cave-cities and tunnels.People moved around when they saw everything around them destroyed in hours. They had to leave.
Have you got any reference material for these theories Bob? They sound interesting, but I've not come across yet them in my studies.
Not true about asteroid at that time and location.
RIP NICK 😭

Excuse me but I believe you made a lot of confusion with the empires and the ages, for instance, the Assyrian empire came to power after the bronze age collapse. In fact they were the superpower of the Iron age, after 900 B.C.. Please read 1177 BC the year of civilization collapse. Precious book By Eric Cline where I've found a lot of information about the mysterious sea people ...
Yes, the Assyrian Empire reached its zenith a number of centuries after the Late Bronze Age Collapse, however it can find its roots in the third millennium BCE trading post at Assur. They were a vital player in Near East politics for over a thousand years. Here is some of my work on that very subject. historyoftheworldpodcast.com/2019/03/10/vol-2-ep-7-the-assyrian-empire-2/
@@historyoftheworldpodcast5234 , I'll keep following your researches, but my problem for now is:- Where do you put the Mitanni Empire - whose king was a correspondent of Amenothep III, so he was somebody to recon with -? Mitanni was an indo-european speaking people, like the Hittites but they lived right in the middle of Semitic speaking folks. I don't know much about them, apart from what I read about the Amarna letters ( written in accadic) but I understand they occupied much of the same places the Assyrians did (later) - for us - the Iraqi Kurdistan and beyond. For what I understand their empire was destroyed by the sea people, even if I cannot fathom why the sea people needed to go so far inland, Anyway I will go on listening to what you have to say, I"ve just started doing it"right on this argument because I m passionate about it! All the east Mediterranean lands were compelled to change their History! Hittites: destroyed, Egyptians weak at a level of not return, Mitanni vanished! Myceneans and Minoans suddenly didn't exist anymore and the Greeks should wait 400 years to get back some form of literacy, They did it thanks to the Phoenicians who happened to be the off-spring of the Mysterious Sea People.The irony! And what about Shardana, Lukkas etc.? God I wish to know more thanks new discoveries made in my lifetime span... Keep your good Job done, I'll keep an ear on you.
In brief, the Mitanni overpowered the Assyrians but could not subjugate them permanently. The Assyrians from within rose up and overthrew the Mitanni for good.
you're welcome

More on the same subject, although without the great visuals:

This sounds like an economic collapse more than a change in climate. Was there any on dominate currency at this point in time?
Undoubtedly it was an economic collapse, but the big question is, what was the cause? I am not aware of any one nation having economical dominance at this point due to the nature of international politics meaning that the most dominant country who often be challenged by the collective smaller countries to prevent monopolisation of trade and wealth. The power of the Assyrians appears to be the most well respected of this period but I don't see any evidence of a relationship between Mycenaeans and Assyrians to be able to validate that in the context of the Late Bronze Age Collapse.
@@historyoftheworldpodcast5234 As far as I have been able to understand, most empires die from rot, not war or any other external pressure. One of the surest signs of decay is when the powers that be start debasing the currency of their nation.
This, of course, is obviously speculation on my part, but my gut tells me that it was the primary cause. The trouble is, we are very unlikely to find enough evidence to say one way or the other. The middle east has been torn up repeatedly by war and strife and the climate has changed considerably over the years. What was once fertile soil is now basically lifeless desert, so, who knows for certain?
More importantly, monopoly is not that bad, provided you can still acquire what you need to survive. However, it becomes irritating and onerous once it becomes restrictive and you are no longer able to acquire what you need, starting with food.
yes the currency was bronze and its components.
@@samd.8911 Okay, but was it debased? In other words, were the coins of a certain bronze and the formula was changed to make them less expensive to coin? Or, was the bronze a mere veneer over a cheaper metal? Bronze is still a fairly valuable metal, even today.

31:56 "The middul kingdam"... You're talking about the New Kingdom surely not the Middle Kingdom?
Yes, well spotted indeed. It absolutely should be the New Kingdom.
Starts at 3:10
I dont work with counter-factuals but what if this was basicaly the first world war in human history?
I'd certainly expect there to be more excavational and written evidence of such a thing, but it's certainly not impossible.
It was either a solar flare or bollide collision that prompted the collapse.
no it wasn't.
A solar flare? Really?? Please explain that one!
@@ninja-jin1038 A solar flare occurs when the magnetic lines on the sun become so twisted that they break, sending a large amount of electromagnetic particles hurtling outwards. I assumed you learned this in school?
@@7munkee yes I did. I also learnt that the Earth has a magnetic shield that deflects any such flare.
@@ninja-jin1038 The strength of our magnetic shield varies over time. If a solar flare hits during a weak period, a sufficiently large enough particle blast can interact with the hydrogen/nitrogen molecules in our atmosphere splitting then apart and causing a haze that would block out the sun's light for an extended period of time.
Hi, Canaan was an Egyptian territory ? So where were the Jews/Hebrews ?
Yes, there would have been periods during the second millennium BCE where Canaanite lands would have been politically subjugated by the Egyptians. The indigenous peoples wouldn't have been displaced by this, we can feel reasonably confident.
Didn't know uber eats had a kingdom back then
Interesting concepts, but I do not think that climate change is a factor which precipitated the collapse of the Late Bronze Age. Even invaders need to eat, and I would say that buying food stuffs such as grain to send back home would be easier than sacking cities. Unless you bring the women and children along, which would indicate that the objective was settlement, then I think there is more to the collapse than just climate. One cannot rule out natural disasters such as earthquakes or volcanic activity which could weaken empires such as the Hittites and the Mycenaean. And it maybe that the Sea Peoples saw an opportunity and took it.
A more important factor is the collapse of traditional trading networks. Why did this occur? Did the Sea Peoples for example want the riches of established kingdoms for themselves. Perhaps they lacked the raw resources such as tin and copper to make bronze. Maybe they had nothing of value to trade. Much like the later day Vikings, raiding for profit may be the reason for their attacks. Key is trying to figure out where these people came from. My bet is the eastern Mediterranean Sea where little archeology has been done but indications of settlements on islands like Sardinia, show an established culture.
To sum up, I think that more work needs to be done in areas outside the western Mediterranean and the Middle East before we get a clear picture. The maps were great, and I didn't mind the accent!
This is a great response. I have discussed quite vigorously the debate about the origins of the Sea Peoples and the fact that I cannot accept that they just "came from the sea". They must have had a place or many places of origination. Trade seemed to be a very successful link between societies right back from the dawn of agriculture so for there to be an interruption to the trade network suggests that whatever happened was usual and unexpected. Earthquakes are very much in the spotlight and verified to be a reality during this period.
The Viking raid comparison is interesting. What the Vikings tended to do was either repeatedly raid the same places such as northern France and north east Britain to take the plunder back to Scandinavia or settle the land possible due to the fact that the Vikings were a patchwork of tribes much like the Egyptians describe the Sea People.
I have heard the lands of the Tyrrhenian Sea such as Sardinia speculated to be a homeland before, so you're certainly not alone in thinking of that as a possibility. It would make perfect sense with thousands of years of seafaring experience that humankind would have had to believe that the Greeks and the proto-Phoenicians would have surely been getting very involved in the exploration and exploitation of such lands.
Great feedback. Thank you!
i believe that ancient Troy was located somewhere around coast of Adriatic sea,and that the Sea people are exactly Trojans and their allies looking for revenge and taking back their colonies around Mediteranean..
there is long tradition in shipbuilding and seafarring,and also tradition of raising horses among this people..
there are also few remains of meghalitic towns just like in Greece..
you can look for Daorson,Asseria,Varvaria etc..
after fall of Troy, Odysseus is wandering for ten years to get home,and Homer describe parts of coast and islands in Adriatic sea..
and for some time later in history,those people were called Illyrians..
does it make sense?:)
I think the podcast sounds fine. Keep using the blue.
Those Blue mics are great. Maybe a cheap tube preamp and a tube compressor will give you the BBC console sound.
FYI....Love your presentation (and accent) but I see you omitted a series of conditions that brought about the collapse of several politically-centralized elitist societies before 1250BC i.e., extremely bad weather (too much (drought) or too little (floods) rain), continuous Anatolian earthquakes over a 50 year period beginning in 1300bc, continuous large scale see-saw warfare and new devastating plagues (Hittite kingdom most affected after battle of Kadesh) not previously experienced. All of these conditions PRECEEDED the majority of the attacks by the population displacements and the sea peoples. The Sea peoples swooped in and swallowed everybody up who were too weak and disrupted to effectively resist.
Excellent feedback Ray. This really got my brain ticking. I'm struggling to see any significant climate shift on the same kind of scale as the 4.2 kiloyear event which may have contributed to the downfall of the Egyptian Old Kingdom and the Neo-Sumerians at the end of the previous millennium. NASA published an incredibly interesting paper around twenty years ago discussing earthquake storms and the likelihood of a significant Anatolian storm around 1200 BCE which ancient cities would not have survived in one piece. I get the feeling that the kingdoms of this period were a little too savvy to go into all out war with each other, but the peace agreements of the time, especially by the Hittites, may signify a concern for depleting military resources. Plague is by far the most mysterious factor with the relatively modern suggestion that kingdoms were using people infirmed by disease to spread plague among the society of their enemy. I'd use the aftermath of the Hittites running the Egyptians out of Byblos at the end of the fourteenth century BCE as my speculated example of this kind of thing! I love this feedback though.
What if the sea ppls was the “trojan horse”? So miceaneans expels those in their community who after years of war decide they’re worshipping the wrong gods of old “traitors of the gods” back to the rest of the world who worshiped the those gods. Most accepted the refugees but Egypt didn’t as their blood was of the snake.
Once they were received by the communities and felt reinforced went to help Troy, hatussa etc then turned on the cities and Ppl who helped them.
Make sense?
Was looking into the Mediterranean black rat recently. The best info I could find was that it spread across the Med during the Roman period. It seems to originate from endemic populations in India. I'm sure trade between mesopotamia and the Indian subcontinent was already going steady a 1000years before. The Hitites expanded trade routes towards Afghanistan.
Any updated research on disease migration akin to the fur trade and the black death hypothesis? The widespread panic seems to be a bit bigger than regional food scarcity.
here's Deuteronomy 7:1-6:
"When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou; And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them: Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son."
Yeah, the Bible claims Israel destroyed the Hittites and Canaanites.
Yeah well the Bible is pretty much all political propaganda.
Use the term B.C. and not B.C.E. which doesn't mean jack to anyone. What common era?
It appears to mean something to you because you know it stands for Common Era! Nonetheless, I think it's impossible for me to escape criticism whichever form I use.
Far more people understand BC than BCE. Also, love the idea of annoying those self-righteous prigs who use BCE.
To all original people that are aware, the evidence of our origin hasn't all been destroyed. There's archeological evidence that we must search for ourselves, we can't trust others to do this because of their agenda. It's important that we do this , it's a matter of knowing our truth. This is how we grow our body . We have the financial means and the knowledges in research if we prioritize . Allowing others to define our existence will always be a negative. Carthage should be a reminder of how deep the well is in this deception. Out of that empire , they only allowed less than 50,000 to live as slaves. That wasn't the only annihilation.
Nothing with that many exclamation points can be an Excellent Presentation!!! Why? Because excellent presentations don't stick it in your face.
Surely you have more important things to worry about
Nice clover tatt man. What do we tell death? Not today! You remind me of that guy man. Antiquity man, what up. what up!

British accent is the best

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Believe...
Take a chill pill
BCE....
Beey Ceey Eeey!
Wrong on the main point: totally ignoring the erruption of Thera, modern Santorini. This is unconscionable.
So he blames the spoiled elites for moral decay. Nonsense.
We know a lot more about the sea people now than ever, such as the Cepri (from Cyprus or "Copper" island) and the Peleset, from the Peleponesian peninsula, evidence Palestinian pottery in Canaan just before and after Moses and Ramses II.
Obviously not an archaeologist and a weak historian.
The first 2.5 minutes were tedious.
I gave a thumbs down just for the triple exclamation points in the title.
That is an excellent basis for a criticism!!!
