Sometime around the year 1100 BC, right at the end of the Bronze Age, a wave of destruction washed over the Eastern Mediterranean. It wiped whole civilizations off the map, and left only ash and ruin in its wake.
This catastrophe, known as āthe Late Bronze Age Collapseā, has become one of the enduring puzzles of archaeology. I want to explore how so many societies could collapse all at once, and seemingly without warning, as well as examine the lessons it might teach us in our increasingly globalised and interconnected world.

This is the most marvelous podcast ever. I spent 24 hours in the ER and the only thing that made it bearable is listening to Paul Cooper relatingāThe Fall of Civilizationsā

In this dark age, it is refreshing to hear the superb narration of a well-written script about a meticulously researched subject.

Metaphorically speaking.... I've just had the definitive meal, full of high quality ingredients, wonderfully presented and by far the most well thought out menu Ive come across. I shall dine here again !

After discovering this channel, and comparing to where we are now, i sometimes wonder if we too experience the collapse of a civilization. and this line hits extremely close to home: "The enemy ships have come, and done evil to my land" ...

Perfect, very well paced and to the point, I especially like how you use music and sounds just enough to create the atmosphere without ever overpowering the smooth narration.

That was wonderful. The music and voice actors add so much color to the story and your writing/speech is enough to close ones eyes and almost feel the dread of the end of the world scenario than none of us would want to experience.

These podcasts are mesmerizing. Beautifully narrated, sad stories.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I JUST NOW STUMBLED ACROSS YOUR CHANNEL! It's never been suggested to me nor come up in my searches on these topics. You REALLY do exceptional work. Thank you, truly. Factual, yet beautiful and thought provoking. So multilayered...

Your podcasts have quickly become my favorite forays into history. -Superior narration, research, and story telling, bravo!! šš

Imagine what this series would be with pictures
Nice background music doesn't overpower the narrator
Youtube has censored so many of my favorite channels, I hope this channel stays, my best channel for bedtime stories. The voice is so relaxing.
I use to do sleep learning when I returned to college-=worked for me,
but, I also used self-hypnosis
This voice would be great for hypnosis tapes

Please don't think I'm a monster, but listening to the stories of civilizations collapsing helps me sleep... š± š¤·āāļø
Jokes aside, this was one of the best history podcast episodes I've ever heard!

Seriously amazing! All the voices were just right and the music was enchanting and went so well with this podcast! Brilliant!

Wow I love the details that help understand how it would have felt to live back then. Including the music, this is so well done! And I'm watching this in August 2020, so I don't really need to imagine how it felt for those people witnessing the fall of civilization.....I just need to look outside, it's happening right now.

My personal hypothesis/headcanon as an ignorant layman who watches Youtube videos about the Bronze Age Collapse, read a couple of books on it, and has read the Iliad, the Odyssey, and myths about the Trojan War not encompassed in those two works... The story of the Trojan War and the Odyssey are about the invasions of the Sea Peoples from the perspective of the Sea Peoples, but mixed in with tons of anachronisms and mixing of Bronze Age and Homeric Age technology and concepts.
For example, war gear was updated in the story to reflect modern-for-the-time tech, except in cases where anachronisms were cool like Ajax' tower shield and the gear used by Diomedes and Odysseus (hide helmets that notably omitted boar tusks/horns). The Achaean/Danaan confederation (clearly loose as demonstrated by the entire plot of the Iliad) literally come from the sea, especially from the Trojans' perspective, and sack their city. A multiethnic coalition including Amazons, Ethiopians, etc. aids the Trojans because the Sea Peoples antagonized many other peoples.
In the Odyssey and other sources, you hear about the Danaans getting scattered after leaving Troy. Many meet disaster before getting home. Some meet disaster after getting home. Others, like Odysseus and Menelaus sail around the Mediterranean before getting home. Odysseus wanders all over the place, and Menelaus gets blown off course to Crete and Egypt. As much as the Sea Peoples may have had successes and major victories in their raids, it's likely that they also suffered setbacks, disasters, and been sidetracked in their voyages, just like the account of the Danaans in the Iliad.
The traditions of the Trojan War stories may represent a story that links eras and societies. The story may be about the Sea Peoples and originated from the collective memory those who settled in Greece mixed with the story-telling traditions of those who lived in the Greece they settled. It may combine technology, ancient and even more ancient. It may be a direct parallel with Beowulf where the Anglo-Saxons catalogued, in their own style, a myth which originated from a minority people (the Norse) who invaded their lands from the sea.

One thing is for sure..I could listen to your voice for ages and man what a beautiful podcasts. Such a gem.

It's 3am but that didn't stop me from listening to the whole podcast, it was very engaging and kept me awake. I could almost imagine myself as a local, familiar with all the kingdoms in the eastern Mediterranean. Great work!!

I'm scrubbing potties and floors while enjoying this. What a time to be alive!

I find it so amusing that we (with our superior knowledge š) dare to doubt the ancients until archaeology proves us wrong again and the ancients correct. It's called the devolution of knowledge. I really do enjoy your presentations. Thank you š

The text of the Elamite King really reminds you that it was a very different era regarding right to rule and rule of law

I just stumbled upon your podcast. As a person who has spent decades watching every history documentary I could find, these are simply the most indepth while still remaining interesting. You are the Carl Sagan of history. Truly inspiring.
