How civilisations collapse
I've posted before about the collapse of the Roman Empire in the West. But that was only local.

The BIG collapse was the Late Bronze Age. Here is an interesting lecture on the subject.

He skips over the question of 'Who were the Sea People?' to some extend, leaving only hints. But it is likely they were something similar to the folk migrations that pressed in on the Roman Empire in late classical times; people who were escaping raiders themselves, or looking for plunder, or migrating to escape famine.

But more interesting is his economic analysis of the times. There are similarities to our situation today.
