  Usually you spend much more time on the DNA evidence, but the history of the collapse was well presented and informative.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6mkjkcMPHg&amp;t=290">4:50</a> The fortification walls of Mycenae and other Mycenaean cities were built largely before the drought period associated with the collapse (around 1200 BCE), not as a direct reaction to it. On the contrary, the palatial centers were destroyed around that period, while the massive fortification walls largely remained standing

  Well done &amp; well-explained, buti wish there had been more time to absorb, it seemed too rushed to me. Also I&apos;m wondering if this is from another presentation, as the very helpful bullet point summaries were often not fully incorporated. Overall I enjoyed this very much.

  Wonder if this is connected to the battle of the Tollense valley?, as it seems like people were moving around a lot during the time.

  it is interesting to consider the tablet found in the possession of Chief Joseph .... &quot;A small Sumerian cuneiform tablet, reportedly found in Chief Joseph’s medicine pouch upon his 1877 surrender, is a 2042 B.C. receipt for a lamb from Drehem, near Nippur (Iraq).&quot; <br><br>a receipt.

  No mention of the Minoan?

  I wish this had been more about why this happened, rather than what has been known for some time now. With DNA data, one could trace individuals&apos; origins. That would give a geographic indication of how widespread the catastrophe was. And more info on what could have caused it. Pollen analysis, climate change, etc. Lots of questions to look into.

  From description: &quot;the idea that the most advanced civilization of the ancient world fell apart not because of some great enemy but because it was too connected to survive its own collapse is just… I don&apos;t know, it hits different when you realize we&apos;re not that far off from the same thing&quot;. &nbsp;True. &nbsp;China&apos;s collapse is backing this off a little, but it is still a danger.

  Personally, I think this was a &quot;coalition&quot; forced by the eruption of San Torini. The Tsunami and ash/weather changes that generated wiped out the Minoan culture (which was a large shipping group) but it would have also affected the Phonetician (which was also a large shipping group) - then there are the refugees from the disasters from the tsunami, which would have affected every where from Greece, Turkey, and shorelines along the Mediterranean sea (eastern shore line). It may even have reached Egypt, weakening the shoreline area allowing easier &quot;invaision&quot; by the displaced people from everywhere else.

  Sounds like the problems of the time that allowed them to dominate also created the sea peoples.
