Consider this, optimists. All the societies in the world can collapse simultaneously. It has happened before.
In the 12th century BCE the great Bronze Age civilizations of the Mediterranean-all of them-suddenly fell apart. Their empires evaporated, their cities emptied out, their technologies disappeared, and famine ruled. Mycenae, Minos, Assyria, Hittites, Canaan, Cyprus-all gone. Even Egypt fell into a steep decline. The Bronze Age was over.
The event should live in history as one of the great cautionary tales, but it hasn’t because its causes were considered a mystery. How can we know what to be cautious of? Eric Cline has taken on on the mystery. An archaeologist-historian at George Washington University, he is the author of "1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed." The failure, he suggests, was systemic. The highly complex, richly interconnected system of the world tipped all at once into chaos.
"1177 B.C.: When Civilization Collapsed" was given on January 11, 02016 as part of Long Now's Seminar series. The series was started in 02003 to build a compelling body of ideas about long-term thinking from some of the world's leading thinkers. The Seminars take place in San Francisco and are curated and hosted by Stewart Brand. To follow the talks, you can:

Just having an amateur interest in history and retired railway conductor I found this info very relevant to our human activity today. I think the video shown at the beginning was probably the same in 1200 BC. Just different technology. Your use of modern analogy, including jokes, and common language made this lecture a pleasure. Thank you. I was employed on the Santa Fe Railway formed by a man in 1869 , Cyrus K. Holiday, who had a vision of trade with Asia. That vision is still a main stay of what we now call intermodal freight traffic or trade. The Santa Fe completed it’s transcontinental link from Chicago to LA and California ports by 1888. Now the BNSF Ry calls the Santa Fe mainline the southern “Transcon”. However, a large portion of the freight is now carried in containers adapted to be loaded onto large container ships on both east & west coast of the U.S. Some of the freight is trans-global, in that containers are off loaded on one coast onto trains. Then transported across the US and reloaded onto container ships too large to navigate the Panama Canal. Then transported to either Europe, Africa and Asia and visa-versa. It forced the railway systems to modernize and the Santa Fe had that vision to have the infrastructure to adapt to the change and increase in freight traffic. They were a bit slow to pick up the ball, but were way ahead of other railway companies in moving priority freight trains on their passenger mainlines much more efficiently. BNSF take over just boosted the investment needed to speed the mainline up even more on the Santa Fe route. So how much evidence has archeology uncovered to show an evolution of methods of transporting raw material and high value trade items? The tin from Afghanistan would have been a tough trip with heavy loads to meet the demand to make bronze. Camels? Carts? Elephants? Were trade routes trampled down hard and leaving a permanent impression in the earth, then paved over by Roman road system? We can only guess, 🤔 I guess?

⁠@@brianfreel1473 well sadly it depends on your definition of an alien. Unfortunately there were a few Hispanic freight riders who literally “fell thru the cracks”. One incident involved an apparent Hispanic male riding the empty part of the cars that carried the shipping containers. I’d guess he got so tired he fell thru the space between to cross bracing in the floor to the track while the train was traveling 60-70 MPH. I wasn’t a member of the crew and it was hard to determine the cause after the fact as there was no way to know to determine the facts. I never heard any result of the BNSF investigation. Thanks for asking.

Dr. Cline offered me no quarter; either I learned a ton of history or I failed. I studied my ass off, got an A on the final, and earned the most difficult 'C' I'd ever receive. It is great watching him now and knowing that I was learning from one of the preeminent experts on this time period in the academic world.

Meh. So much of the western historical narrative leaves for more questions than answers, and very dubious at best. For example, up until the mid 1800s, you have many references to the Tartarian empire, including existence on maps of that era, and then it is largely erased from the modern narrative. The Tartarian maps include domain over large parts of what is now Russia and also North America. The language spoken is often said to be an early form of Magyar (currently known now as Hungarian) language. You find in the Americas, evidence of Magyar language spoken by many so-called "first nation" people, who also say, "we aren't the first". What else, also early Spanish maps predating 1850s show the Aztecs had a range from what is today, Salt Lake City to Mexico City. If you look at maps of early American languages spoken, that's exactly what you find. Yet the modern, institutionally supported narrative doesn't follow the facts, but spit out constant spun-up conjecture. Then you have megalithic sites with technology that doesn't match the current narrative, including anthropological findings that support "native mythology" but not "Western" chronological narratives. The explanation? Also, shy is the Smithsonian more secretive than the NSA?

The Tojan war is a fascinating thing because of the cleverness of Homer's epic. This man sung a lie so big, so enthralling that here it is thousands of years later and we have not forgotten the truth. We don't know exactly where the war was fought, that's unimportant, we remember the important aspects. Men of Greece waged a war that lasted for many years and it was so terrible that even when it was over it was not over for the soldiers. They were so scarred by the war that they became lost, unable to truly return home for many years if at all. Thousands of years ago, Homer sung about PTSD... and mocked the very reason why the men paid such a terrible price.

Possibly. But there are so many things that are SO unlike anything that existed in other eras of time, that you really can't conclude that history will repeat itself, even if it is similar in many ways to events that have played out many times before. We could be headed for a societal collapse, or what may well prove to be a minor inconvenience to the bringing about of an ultra optimistic transhumanist future. Only time will tell.

Fascinating lecture, thanks to Eric Cline for putting it together and the Long Now Foundation for hosting it. I especially found the earthquake sequence to be interesting as I had not heard of this before in the context of the late bronze age collapse. Not sure yet if it's in his book but I had the thought that earthquakes would have wrought havoc on the un-reinforced masonry and mud-brick walls that the cites of these civilizations depended on for protection. This would have helped the sea peoples (or any other invaders in that period) to undermine, batter down or otherwise assault those settlements. I bet someone could write a paper just on that, and I would love to read it.

Archeology has been of interest to me for many years, but understanding "why" times change based on both human behavior and natural events really helps one to visualize the chain of events that played the most significant parts in how and why societies change or undergo changes over which they actually have little control. A very interesting and highly educational lecture. Thanks to all who helped to make it possible to bring to YT. 😊

Yes, but I did get a bit tired of every question being answered "all of the above" or "both". :-) Now, I have to admit that's an honest and sometimes correct answer. But more often, in the real world, when you have 5 things supporting something that falls, there's one thing that caused or started it. So the best answer is "we don't know yet which one."

Outstanding presentation and discussion. Nice to see academics keeping an open mind and acknowledging when we don't know what we don't know. And a great take on the practicalities of iron vs. bronze. "How sharp is an iron vs. a bronze dagger?" "Does it matter when it goes into you?" Iron is better, obviously, but it's much harder to produce (higher temperatures, alloys, etc.), and so you wouldn't necessarily want to use it if bronze gives you the 90% solution. But if tin becomes impossible to find...

@Dr Evil Heey Dr. E, you should heed your own advise. "Go out, get drunk, get laid, get a good nights rest... You will have a different perspective on it.". Clearly such reasoning goes both ways, doesn't it? You really must hate your own life, because the first thing you say to people is "get a life, moron"... Well, why don't you do exactly that yourself, Dr. E? All you're doing right now is lashing out to someone on the internet, hoping that they strike back and confirm to you that the world is a bad place. Pretty sure it will get worse and worse if you continue on this road, Mr. So do yourself a favor and read this comment over and over again like a rhyme, like a mantra, until you get it that you don't need to respond to me to feel better, you need to address your own issues. It's a self-defeating argument to denote someone else's reasoning as just an opinion, and subsequently not address the issue that your own comment thereby also is reduced to opinion. It's a little narcissist. See, "Remember, your opinions are just that, opinions..."... This makes me think you lack true self-worth, because you don't say "people's opinion" in defense of everyone, no you say "your opinion" attacking me as some sort of pre-emptive defense of only yourself. At least I trolled a troll to feel better, you just puke on everyone, don't you, including yourself? Finally, you say "Get a life moron, you probably have a collection of cats don't you?" and then follow up with "How in the hell did cats enter into the observation/conversation...?".... How do you even muster up the courage to speak of my attention span, whilst your own is just about futile? If you say stuff like that, it's not really an opinion that you suck as a troll, it's a fact. There is logic and evidence supporting that, not vague remarks of vogue and fashion. If you knew anything about fashion at all, you would have known most evil geniuses have white cats for purposes of being evil in style. I see pop culture references only make it as far as your profile name and picture... Help yourself, Dr. E. really.. Otherwise things will never brighten up for you anymore.. Turn that troll into stone with some nice sun... Maybe some day you will realize that you should really thank me for taking the time to explain this to you. I will thank you in the meantime, because I now have a solid piece of advise to apply to myself. You see, I do apply my own reasoning to my own position, contrary to some people. Thanks for being my beast of burden. Troll of trolls out.

@@SeanONilbud A bias religious scholar. You and him are trying to pretend that Palestine was not a nation and that it was not inhabited for thousands of years before the state of Israel was established in 1948. Without any evidence, besides biblical history, you claim that Israelites occupied the area before 1276 BCE. However, for the period of time while it was called Canaan, the Canaanites were not Israelites. The region of Canaan did not include Israel. Back then it was Palestine. If you want to try to pretend that they didn't exist. That's like claiming South America is Spanish. Interestingly in history the genetic haplotype actually migrated from Europe at some point in time eventually developing their own cultures in South America. These included the Olmec, Aztec, Inca, Maya, and Norte Chico people. Thousands of years passed and then Europeans came to invade the land despite no actual direct relations to the local people. They could claim that it was always a Spanish colony made of Europeans and just disregard all the things that happened in between. This is what you are saying here. Cultures and people who existed in a place for thousands of years are not real. You claim that because at some distant point in history your ancestors may have occupied the same land it has always been yours and the people who lived there in between have no right to it. Seems more than a little selfish.

Regarding the discussion on iron versus bronze..as a sculptor who pours both bronze and iron regularly I can say that the difference back then was surely the melting temperature..1850F for bronze and 2650F for iron..in ancient times there was no way to cast iron and get to that temp..it was smelted into what was called a bloom and heated red hot and pounded into useful shapes..but not melted..that would take centuries to engineer..also brass was rare because the boiling point of zinc is so close to its melting point that zinc was rarely isolated to create brass..also i really enjoyed this video..cheers...

This video has nothing to do with the bad orange man, but you are so obsessed with him that you just had to mention him, anyway. That’s unbelievably pathetic. I just thank God that the TDS you’re infected with isn’t contagious, because I’d rather have Covid and AIDS at the same time, than to have to deal with an illness as embarrassing as that. I feel so bad for your family. Your crazy obsession with the man who used to be president has to be seriously humiliating to them. They aren’t the ones who were so ignorant and gullible that they allowed themselves to become brainwashed, yet now, thanks to your sick obsession, people can’t help but look at them differently, too, I’m sure. It’s not fair to them, at all, but you can’t really blame people for wondering if genetics are to blame for you being so simple-minded. It’s a shame, too, because I’m sure some of them are probably decent people, who actually have some common sense, and the ability to think for themselves. I really hope they find a cure, soon, for the sake of all your loved ones, and everyone else that’s suffering from the humiliation of having a relative with TDS, as well. They didn’t do anything stupid, and they don’t deserve this. You deserve every bit of the ridicule, though, because you were the fool who trusted the propaganda, and you were the one who didn’t have enough sense to consider that there might be another side to all the stories you heard. They told you the bad orange man colluded with Russia, and you just knew it was true. You saw his mean tweets, and you heard that private conversation he had, when he joked around with another man on a bus, and you were appalled. You heard about how he was a racist, and about how he had slept with a lot of beautiful women when he was younger, and you were disgusted. When he won the presidency you were heartbroken for your country, wondering how such an awful man could have been elected, when, instead, we could have had a president with good morals, and picture-perfect family values, like Bill Clinton’s wife. You figured it was probably all because of sexism, but then, you heard that it was possibly the work of Vladimir Putin, who was secretly best buds with the bad orange man, and, suddenly, it all made perfect sense to you. You knew that Russians weren’t supposed to vote in our elections, and you were furious that it had happened that way, so you did what any good, patriotic American would do, if they heard something that ridiculous, and there wasn’t any evidence to support it, and you made it clear to everyone you talked to, right away, that the president-elect was “not your president,” and you were right. Then, you continued saying that, even after you weren’t right anymore, and you said it for the next 4 years. Long after he had become your president, you still made it a point to stand up for what’s right, and say “not my president,” even though he obviously was. You knew that if the election had been fair, and the Russians hadn’t been allowed to vote in it, he could’ve never defeated a real leader, like Bill’s old lady, in more than 30 states like he did. You considered leaving the country, because you couldn’t stand the idea of a person of orange color making America great again, but then, you remembered that there wasn’t any better countries to go to, so you made the brave decision to stay, and try your very best to make it through the next 4 years of hell, doing anything you could to survive the nightmare of America becoming great again. You courageously told yourself that you’d give the deep state one more chance to hold a fair election, and if the outcome of that one wasn’t fair enough, you’d have no choice but to threaten to leave the country again, before eventually deciding to stay. Fortunately, you didn’t have to worry about doing anything drastic like that, though, because this time, the good, totally unbiased men and women, and other genders in the deep state, made sure that there was no funny business allowed, and we had a totally fair election. It was so fair this time, in fact, that literally everyone agreed that it was fair, except for one candidate, all the people who supported him, and some other folks who didn’t necessarily support him, but still wanted a fair election, anyway. All the Democrat politicians made it very clear, that it was the very mostest fairestest election that there has ever been, ever ever ever, in the whole entire history of fair elections, and all the honest, totally unbiased political activists/news reporters, who actively support all those same Democrat politicians, along with the same Democrat candidate they all supported, but clearly had no dog in the fair election fight, confirmed that what all the Democrat politicians they support said was true. Finally, the bad orange man, who “wasn’t your president,” would actually not be your president anymore, and we would soon have a leader who won fair and square, and who wasn’t a dumb old racist pervert, like the last guy, who was also bad and orange. Thank the Big Bang, or the great transgender illegal alien Buddha, or whatever it is that people like you worship, we now have a president who is incredibly sharp, energetic, always knows what he’s doing, and where he’s at, has never once said or done anything racist, and has absolutely never fondled tons of women and children inappropriately, either behind closed doors, or right in plain sight, on video, repeatedly, for the whole world to see. It sure is a good thing those crazy Trump supporters didn’t get their way again, isn’t it? Oh, I almost forgot to even mention, the new guy knows Barrack Obama, the first half-black president, personally, and he even claims to be his friend. It definitely doesn’t get any cooler than that! We are all certainly in good hands now, but especially any little girls that get to meet the president. He really loves it when they sit in his lap and rub his hairy legs, as he’s whispering softly into their ear, and sniffing their hair. It’s wonderful having an intelligent man who is so good with kids in office, isn’t it? He actually seems as excited to meet them, as they are uncomfortable to have him rub and sniff them. It’s so funny how he always pretends to flirt with the cute little girls, and he tells them silly things, like how he wants to date them. It’s really sweet to see how he just automatically starts grooming any kid he’s around, and does his best to make them feel safe. It seems like it comes totally naturally for him, and you can definitely tell it’s genuine. I’m sure any parent would be thrilled to have a man just like him to babysit their kids. I’m telling you, this elderly, creepy, incompetent joke of a president we have now is just a really, truly great guy, any way you look at it. There’s absolutely no doubt that everyone knows this by now, but if you didn’t vote for Brandon, you ain’t stupid! I mean come on man! This ain’t a joke. Corn Pop was a bad dude. He was an African-American, and he respected me. I’m not joking. This is a big f*cking deal. Come on man!!

the receipt : WE HAVE TO TO HAVE because otherwise IT COST US TOO MUCH. “THEY CAN GO” if we Australians are to STOP THE DESTRUCTION. Pointing fingers as happened in the past present and should not continue: both o f them: ‘Libs and Lab’ ---- “THEY CAN GO” voiding even GOVERNOR GENERAL Doing no more then INSULTING THE WORD : MONARCHY AND ROYAL MEANING. typical !! again & again "DEMOCRATIC - DEMOCRACY" democracy that no longer demonstrate what constitute & stand for. Deeply Divided Australia can not conquer bright future delaying and jeopardising proper education for even more generations to come. Some of which learn today what Media interactions with THE TRUTH it is all about. The Urges Talks & Events did do nothing better to avoid what it is Australia been push further and further in-to DANGER ZONE well before THIS PANDEMIC. The previous Pandemic we have to have come at no surprise: Parliamentarians Associates/Supporters that keeps pronouncing the word DEMOCRACY; while ORGANISING CRIME Right in the PARLIAMENTS SPREADING IT TO THE REST OF THE WORLD TOO: Preventing anyone-else becoming MODEL COUNTRY: The Urges Talks & Events did do nothing better nor further to prevent spiralling out of control 21Century Crime. If U can imagine : I’m told : “my service to Australia it is not welcomed” and “go back to your country” : just to compare the Need for : HYPOCRISY NOBLE PRIZE. Te receipt for More Division or even civil WAR IT IS stirred up DEMOCRATICALLY by Libs & Labs that been DEMOCRATICALLY OVER MANY DECADES Elected by ASSOCIATES/SUPPORTERS.

I was just in the Thessaloniki museum 2 days ago and the most recent archeological research reveals that the 'dark age' theory - at least in Greece - may be incorrect. Although the monumental/palacial cities may have been destroyed, new polis sprang up on the ruins almost immediately. Macedonian Greece was not as affected as was previously thought, and certainly didn't suffer a 'dark age'.
