Only because new groups came to dominance in Anatolia and Mesopotamia.
The Late Bronze Age Collapse is a real thing that affected more than just Greece and the Aegean.
I've seen lots to crazy theories behind the cause if it, but never a denial that it happened. I guess I've seen it all now.
- acqq 11y agoThe wide destruction of the cities is indisputable, I just don't have the impression that the comparable long-term effects outside of the area known as the ancient Greece existed. The more centuries of "dark ages" (effective illiteracy) that ensued seem to be characteristic only to that ancient Greece area? For example, Phoenicia had a high point exactly at the time of Greek "dark ages": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenicia#High_point:_1200.E2.80.93800_BC https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenicia#High_point:_1200.E2.... Re Mesopotamia there were already the links.
