  The video actually mentions the &quot;systems collapse&quot; theory from historian Eric Cline around the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvJSVNo8WPo&amp;t=5370">1:29:30</a> mark, which covers how a mix of things like climate change, famine, and migrations (including the Sea Peoples) all hit at once, creating a perfect storm. It wasn&apos;t just one single event.

  The Bronze age civilizations had a united armies. I would imagine the armies thought, What are we dying for? Lets attack our nations.&quot; Happens all the time. Army takes over the government, and society fails. Think about, we rise members of the military above average citizens. What is skills? Killing people. What &nbsp;If stop paying your soldiers?

  I’m from North Carolina, USA and I find these too interesting to go to sleep by. Sorry if that defeats your purpose. Still, thank you for making them.

  I love these videos and I listen to them while I’m doing sculptures or pottery sines I don’t have to watch them they make a satisfying companion and I love to learn things that I’ve never thought of.

  Sitting in a campground in New Mexico, surrounded by massive rocks flung across a landscape from cataclysmic eruptions. I’m mending curtains while listening to a story of long ago civilizations, and wondering who will carry on in the ashes after the rise of our A.i. overlords. Maybe we’ll all flee to the rocks and hills, and come up with something completely new.<br><br>But no kings, please.
