Illustration
A map illustrating the sudden, chaotic downfall of numerous interconnected civilizations in the Aegean, Eastern Mediterranean, Anatolia, and Mesopotamia toward the end of the Bronze Age (c. 1200 BCE). The great kingdoms and empires of the day—including The Mycenaean Greeks, The Hittite Empire, Kassite Babylonia (invaded by its neighbors Elam and Assyria) as well as the New Kingdom of Egypt (on a smaller scale) have suddenly collapsed and disintegrated due to multiple factors, including climate change, population movements, and invasions from hostile seafaring tribes known as the Sea Peoples.
