Published 2017-07-08
At last, we have the Sea People: marauders who swept into Bronze Age cities and ground them into dust. But while they're often blamed for the Bronze Age Collapse, were they really its cause? What else must have been going on to cause such illustrious civilizations to crumble?

Marauders swept in from the sea, and the cities of the Bronze Age crumbled before them. Why did they fall so quickly? Support us on Patreon! www.patreon.com/ExtraCredits/

"waves of sea people" I sea what you did there.

Time Traveling Vikings
-
The stone message in the beggining reminded me of the final message of the dwarves found in Moria by the fellowship. Erie stuff
-
Everyone else: “Don’t invade Russia in the winter.” Mongolia: “Hold my beer.”
-
Ah yes, the seven great disasters of the Bronze Age. Volcanic eruptions, meteor impacts, aliens, Godzilla, Frankenstein's Monster, Dracula and Cthulhu.
-
Egypteans, Assyrians, Hittites, Mycenaeans. Long ago the four Nations lived in Peace. Then everything changed, when the Sea People attacked.

When you don't find enough luxury resources to manage your population growth in Civ 5...

"And maybe don't invade Russia, because it never seems to work." Yeah tell that to the Mongols.
-
The Sea Peoples have always been one of my favorite civilizations in the ancient world. Thanks for giving them their place in history.
-
After Rameses III, Egypt went through a revolving door of foreign occupiers: Nubians, Libyans, Assyrians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans as far as the ancient world goes.
-
This might just have become my favourite historical period. It's so mysteriously interesting
-
"...appearing on mountaintops or secluded regions ..." Zombie apocalypse. Done.
-
The indus people had a mysterious event make their civilisation collapse too. You should do a series on them.
-
"So who were these sea people?" Atlanteans?
-
"If history teaches us anything it is this : always pay your mercenaries. Oh, and don't invade Russia because that never seems to work." Aye, point one is very accurate. And surprisingly often ignored in history. Concerning point two, that has proven true with most invaders. The Mongols are as usual and exception.

Something I've always wondered about you guys. When Dan says "I think this" or "This is my opinion or what makes sense to me" is that "me" himself, Dan, or is he speaking as the writer, meaning that "Me" refers to James or whoever wrote the episode? Or do you guys all just have an alien hive consciousness that refers to itself in the singular?
-
I'd love a Game of Thrones style show imagining any of these versions of Bronze Age collapse. I bet there were crazy machinations going on!
