To add to the discussion, I submit this entertaining docu-series[0] describing the collapse of Bronze Age civilizations around the eastern Mediterranean.
The authors proffer that one possible cause for their near-total collapse could have been a breakdown within Bronze Age society's well-structured and complex systems from which recovery was simply not possible.
Apologies to the history purists for the inevitable inaccuracies to be found herein but this was an approachable series for me as a codemonkey.

- udkl 4y agoI thought about posting this exact video, but you beat me to it ! Extra credits really has some very well done entertaining historical docu-series .... I recommend other historical buffs to subscribe and go through their videos
- jason-phillips 4y agoIt's quite good, isn't it? I really enjoy their videos.
- Muehe 4y agoI can also recommend the FallOfCivilizations channel on YouTube.[0] It's basically a podcast that later started adding video footage to its episodes. As the name suggests each episode deals with the rise and fall of one specific civilization.
