In a span of just a few decades, the mighty Hittite Empire vanished, the Mycenaeans disappeared, and the great power of Egypt began to crumble. Historians call this the Late Bronze Age Collapse, and they often point to a mysterious group of invaders known as the "Sea Peoples" as the wrecking ball that brought it all down.But amidst this global catastrophe, one tiny, emerging nation wasn't destroyed. In fact, they were just getting started.In this video, we dig into the archaeology of the Bronze Age Collapse to see how the geopolitical vacuum created by this "dark age" perfectly matches the biblical timeline of Joshua and Judges. We’ll look at the Amarna Letters, which record the desperate pleas of Canaanite kings watching their cities fall to the "Habiru," and we'll explore why the superpowers of the day were too distracted to stop the rise of Ancient Israel.Was the collapse of the Bronze Age just a historical accident? Or was it a divine "clearing of the land" to make way for a new kingdom? Let's look at the evidence.📚 RECOMMENDED RESOURCES & FURTHER READING- 1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed - Eric H.
