what might have happened to cause the collapse
of all these civilizations within a few decades. The Sea People had perhaps
diverted attention from the true culprit. And were actually the victims

For the archaeologists it was back to square one

00:00:04.033 --> 00:00:06.634

as they try to explain what might have happened

00:00:06.634 --> 00:00:10.134

to cause the collapse of all these civilizations

00:00:10.134 --> 00:00:12.001

within a few decades.

00:00:13.734 --> 00:00:18.401

The Sea People had perhaps diverted attention from the true culprit.

00:00:18.401 --> 00:00:22.000

And were actually the victims of some kind of disaster,

00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.467

fleeing to find new homelands.

00:00:24.767 --> 00:00:26.134

But if so...

00:00:26.134 --> 00:00:27.447

What were they escaping?

00:00:27.447 --> 00:00:27.933

What were they escaping?

00:00:30.134 --> 00:00:32.933

00:00:33.501 --> 00:00:36.000

drought, climate change,

00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:38.003

disease, earthquakes,

00:00:38.003 --> 00:00:39.634

volcanoes, or could it have

00:00:39.634 --> 00:00:43.401

been all of those things?
