Open course "The Rise and Fall of Complex Societies", Eric H. Cline. Lecture 10 | SAS UTMN
Featuring Dr. Eric Cline, the lecture explores the multi-causal collapse of Late Bronze Age civilizations, including the Mycenaeans, Hittites, Egyptians, and Canaanites, as discussed in 1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed. Factors such as droughts, earthquakes, invasions (e.g., Sea Peoples), famines, and internal rebellions are examined, though no definitive single cause is identified due to limited archaeological precision.
