Devastating 'World War ZERO' destroyed ancient civilisations and plunged Europe into a dark age

My personal theory of the collapse of the Bronze age has to do with the coming of the iron age. Bronze was like the oil economies of today - no more oil and we enter a Mad Max kind of world. Bronze needed tin which was rare and all the easily located tin was exhausted.

This is probably what fueled the discovery of an alternative to bronze like iron.

With the collapse of the bronze age trade routes, the kingdoms at the periphery of the civilized word that had arisen to facilitate the trade to the more advanced civilizations also collapsed.

I also think the Bronze Age saw the first attempt to explore the world in search of tin. Exploring the world was time consuming and expensive but discovering tin and copper was worth the expense. But once the iron age came about the civilizations exploring the world for financial gain (like the Phoenicians) stopped doing so. These geographic discoveries were treated as highly classified business secrets passed down from father to son but with the end of explorations this memory faded with some legends remaining in its place.

Human civilization is FAR FAR older than the “acceptable theories” of history that exist.

Many ancient Indian Texts, the Hebrew Bible, and other ancient legends all point to this direction.

So if these Luwians were the Sea People then where are their seaports?

Titus 1:12King James Version (KJV)

12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, the Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.

And parvenues and lazybones. Thanks to the Cretans we couldn’t have anything nice.

Santorini detonating turned the eastern Med into the bronze age equivalent of ‘Mad Max’.

I never understood if Paul was talking about native Cretans or Jews living in Crete.

Santorini detonating turned the eastern Med into the bronze age equivalent of ‘Mad Max’.

Or it was the straw that broke the camel's back. Remember oil ran out in the Mad Max world leading to a nuclear exchange.

In the first Mad Max movie they are trying to keep the world together - it kind of still functions in the same way as the good old days but more debased, By the Road Warrior sequel the nukes already were detonated and it is the aftermath.

Cue the “I’m not saying it was aliens” guy.

That certainly could have been a factor, but that explanation would be incomplete as people would have had the ability to repurpose the existing bronze, tin, and copper into new uses. It was probably a singularity of events that all came together at the right time.
