Around 1200 BC, the ancient world began to fall apart. In this complete documentary, we explore the Bronze Age Collapse—one of the greatest mysteries in human history. <br> <br>The Late Bronze Age had created one of the most interconnected worlds of the ancient Mediterranean. Great superpowers like Egypt, the Hittite Empire, Mycenaean Greece, Cyprus, and the kingdoms of the Levant were bound together through trade networks, royal diplomacy, and warfare. <br> <br>Then, within just a few decades, the entire system collapsed. Palaces were burned, thriving cities were abandoned, trade ceased, and famine spread across empires. The Hittites vanished, Mycenaean palace civilization fell into a dark age, Ugarit was wiped out, and Egypt was pushed to the brink by the enigmatic invaders known as the Sea Peoples. <br> <br>What actually caused the Bronze Age Collapse? Was it prolonged mega-drought, famine, devastating earthquakes, internal rebellion, the Sea Peoples—or a catastrophic "systems collapse" where every crisis amplified the next?
