Sometime after 1200 BCE, civilization collapsed, and a dark age prevailed.
The Late Bronze Age collapse of societies throughout the Levant, the Near East and the Mediterranean some 3,200 years ago has been a mystery. Powerful, advanced civilizations disappeared, seemingly overnight. Now an archaeologist believes he has figured out what lay behind the cataclysm.
The trigger seems to have been the invasion of ancient Egypt in 1177 BCE by marauding peoples known simply as the “Sea Peoples,” as recorded in the Medinet Habu wall relief at Ramses III' tomb. The relief depicts a sea battle (and also carts full of supplies, women and children, something that always puzzled researchers. Why would the women and children have been at a sea battle, and why were there chariots? Did they bring them on ships as well?) The foreigners were depicted wearing distinct head gear....

Man made warming. or cooling. Or something. Interesting piece of history though.
Hard to imagine doing logistics without sophisticated computers or airlifts.
The rest of the content is behind his subscription link. Disappointed.
IIRC, some of the Sea Peoples were wiped out by the Hebrews during the Exodus period. I believe the Philistines were also descended from the Sea Peoples

Is there some way to evade their paywall? If not, then it’s pretty pointless to post such sites. We OUGHT to be boycotting such sites, not promoting them.
That’s weird. I don’t subscribe to any site, but I had no problem there. Am I a Stonecutter or something? LOL
I know it’s hard to believe, but I’m sure it was a long lost descendant of Bush that caused civilization to collapse ...
Who else could be....?
As with gay, Ms, the term BCE is another case of leftists wickedly corrupting the language. The "BCE" method of dating is particularly pernicious since it's liberalism denying the pivotal role of Christ in history.
The usual method:
1. Cut title
2. Open Google News
3. Paste title and search
4. Click on link
It often works, although not always. In this case, it does.
The Hyksos?
George W Bush, of course.
Well, this is an Israeli publication. They’re Jewish, not Christian.
And yet it stands for Before The Christian Era? Way to go for the morons to keep Christ out of history by adding extra letters and an extra word to accomplish..............NOTHING!
Sometime in the distant future a similar article may be written, but instead of sea people it will islamic terrorist and urban thugs.

Yes the source is disappointing - NOTHING there!
Well, since Jesus was not born at year zero (6 BCE) your point is simple evidence of ignorance.
It’s from a book. Through google, or same info at

“In any case, don’t blame the “Sea People”. They were also victims, obviously fleeing something; looking for a better home where they could survive. They are more of a symptom than the cause of the collapse, says Cline. “
Because ... Baltimore!
