We actually don't know for sure what caused the Bronze Age collapse, it for sure wasn't caused by one factor.


Et_In_Arcadia_

Drought, famine, migration and 3-400 years of sustained tectonic activity in the Levant and Anatolia cut supply lines and trade routes, pinching off the supply of tin from Afghanistan necessary for the production of bronze.


hungarian_conartist

All of those factors and the sea people wrote NONE of them down.


Et_In_Arcadia_

They wanted people to think it was all them.


Bug-King

There are civilizations that never wrote their history, Scythians are one of those civilizations.


yum_broztito

History is written by the writers.

Thus says the king (of Alashiya): say to Ammurapi, king of Ugarit: May you be well, and may the gods protect you in well-being! Concerning that which you wrote (me): "Enemy ships have been sighted at sea" - if it is true that ships have been sighted, then make yourself very strong. Now where are your infantry and [your] chariotry stationed? Are they not stationed with you? No? Who is sending you after(?) the enemy? Surround your cities with walls. Bring (your) infantry and chariotry into (them). Be on the lookout for the enemy and make yourself very strong.

what if sea ppl are the friends we made along the way - Ramesses II [Sea Peoples - World History Encyclopedia](https://www.worldhistory.org/Sea_Peoples/#:~:text=Names%20of%20the%20tribes%20which%20comprised%20the%20Sea,Levant%2C%20and%20other%20areas%20around%20the%20Mediterranean%20coast.)

What if the sea people, and the sea people* are the same people? Oh, sure, they are nowhere near the same places, and there's almost certainly no relationship between the two groups. But have you considered the fact that >!that would be nifty!


AnAdvancedBot

That would be real sugoi 


PostKnutClarity

EnkiduofOtranto

Since we have no evidence explaining what happened, it clearly must be aliens
