In this episode, we delve into Dr. Cline’s journey into archaeology and history, with a focus on the theories surrounding many civilization collapses, examining factors such as climate change, natural disasters, economic instability, internal rebellions, and the enigmatic Sea Peoples who ravaged the Mediterranean. Dr. Cline unpacks the evidence, from ancient texts to archaeological discoveries, that sheds light on how a once-flourishing globalized world fell apart.
Drawing parallels to today, we discuss whether modern civilization could face a similar fate. Are the same warning signs present in our own interconnected world?
