>>8742217It's a little late for me to give any more detailed answers, but I'd give the book 1177B.C. a look. It's a decent read and outlines some of the politics of the region and factors that may have lead to the collapse. It's hard to give certain answers as to causes of the whole collapse, but in my opinion the different nations were too dependent on each other to the point where one thread coming undone compromised everyone else. Make whatever comparisons to modern globalization that you will.
