Man made warming. or cooling. Or something. Interesting piece of history though.
Hard to imagine doing logistics without sophisticated computers or airlifts.

IIRC, some of the Sea Peoples were wiped out by the Hebrews during the Exodus period. I believe the Philistines were also descended from the Sea Peoples

Is there some way to evade their paywall? If not, then it’s pretty pointless to post such sites. We OUGHT to be boycotting such sites, not promoting them.

I know it’s hard to believe, but I’m sure it was a long lost descendant of Bush that caused civilization to collapse ...

Who else could be....?

1177 BCE

As with gay, Ms, the term BCE is another case of leftists wickedly corrupting the language. The "BCE" method of dating is particularly pernicious since it's liberalism denying the pivotal role of Christ in history.

Sometime in the distant future a similar article may be written, but instead of sea people it will islamic terrorist and urban thugs.

“In any case, don’t blame the “Sea People”. They were also victims, obviously fleeing something; looking for a better home where they could survive. They are more of a symptom than the cause of the collapse, says Cline. “

Because ... Baltimore!

The trigger seems to have been the invasion of ancient Egypt in 1177 BCE by marauding peoples known simply as the “Sea Peoples,” ...

Sea peoples?

...Marines?

Must have been one hell of a liberty call.

I can't imagine the First Sergeant's a$$ chewing for blowing up the whole of civilization on a foreign port call.

Sometime after 1200 BCE, civilization collapsed, and a dark age prevailed.

Around the period 1800 BC to 1200 BC, the technology to make carbon steel was discovered around where Turkey currently is.

Bronze was expensive. Only an aristocratic warrior caste would have bronze swords and armor.

Carbon steel would have made weapons cheap enough to make, that a whole tribe could be armed. They could thus outnumber the Egyptian warriors. That could also explain the drawings of families: the whole tribe would have been in migration. The technological breakthrough of iron would mean that they could overrun older societies.

The trigger seems to have been the invasion of ancient Egypt in 1177 BCE by marauding peoples known simply as the “Sea Peoples,” as recorded in the Medinet Habu wall relief at Ramses III' tomb. The relief depicts a sea battle (and also carts full of supplies, women and children, something that always puzzled researchers. Why would the women and children have been at a sea battle, and why were there chariots? Did they bring them on ships as well?)

“BCE” and “CE” are just plain stupid.

They too did not understand global warming. To many cooking and heating fires.

For those who care, Velikovsky sort of wrote a book about this decades ago; Peoples of the Sea.
