Looking for history rabbit holes to fall into.
For me it has always been the Bronze Age Collapse - how exactly did almost every major civilization near Greece and Egypt that was thriving in 1200 BCE just collapse or drastically weaken over a span of ~50 years? Related mystery - where did the Sea Peoples, raiders who are proposed to have played a role in the collapse, even come from?
You may already be subscribed, OP, but Fall of Civilizations podcast did an episode of the Bronze Age Collapse. It’s a great pod generally for history nerds.
I thoroughly enjoy their youtube channel, and didn’t realize they also had a podcast. I’ll definitely have to check it out
