What Really Caused the Bronze Age Collapse? (with a clear summary at the end)

Around 1200 BCE, the most advanced civilizations of the ancient world began to disappear. Cities were abandoned. Trade networks collapsed. Writing vanished in some regions. For decades, invasions were blamed especially the so-called Sea Peoples. But invasion was not the beginning. This video explores what modern archaeology, climate science, and ancient texts now suggest: that the Bronze Age collapsed because a highly interconnected system lost its ability to absorb shock. Drought, famine, disease, internal instability, trade failure, and violence did not strike one after another, they converged. The result was not a sudden fall, but a slow unraveling. This is the story of how the Bronze Age really ended.
