Did you know that around 1200 BC almost every great civilization on earth collapsed within 50 years of each other. The Myenan Greeks, the Hitam Empire, the city of Ygarre, and Cask Babylonia all vanished nearly at once. These were not small kingdoms. These were the superpowers of the ancient world, connected by trade routes that stretched across thousands of miles of sea and land. Then almost overnight, the whole system switched off. Palaces burned, cities emptied in some regions. People forgot how to write entirely, and that knowledge would not return for centuries. Researchers today believe no single army did this. Instead, a long drought dried up, harvests, trade rous broke down, and rebellions spread from within. Each civilization depended on the others to survive. And when the shocks hit all at once, there was nothing left to hold any of them up. It was history's first systemic collapse, an entire interconnected world too fragile to survive a crisis. It could not see coming, sound familiar.
