Around 1177 BCE, the Mediterranean world didn't just stumble; it shattered. In this episode, we trace the sudden collapse of the great palace economies of Mycenae, Hatti, and Ugarit. We look at the Sea Peoples, the mysterious raiders who may have been displaced refugees rather than a unified army, and how climate change and earthquake swarms accelerated the fall of empires that had thrived for centuries. From the destruction of Ugarit’s archives to the dark ages that followed in Greece, we explore how a interconnected global system collapsed under its own weight, leaving behind ruins, riddles, and the seeds for new civilizations like Iron Age Israel and Phrygia. This is the story of how the ancient world burned, why it couldn't recover immediately, and what it took to begin again. #BronzeAgeCollapse #1177BCE #SeaPeoples #Ugarit #Mycenae #HittiteEmpire #LateBronzeAge #EgyptianNewKingdom #RamessesIII #MedinetHabou #CulturalRetrogression #IronAge #AncientHistory #ClimateChange #EarthquakeStorm #TradeNetworks #LinearB #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
