Why Did the Bronze Age World Suddenly Collapse?

The Bronze Age collapse wiped out every palace from Mycenae to Hattusa in just 50 years around 1180 BC. This documentary traces the tightly wired world revealed by the Uluburun shipwreck with 10 tons of copper and 1 ton of tin, and the clay tablets baked by fire at Pylos and Ugarit. It follows Ramesses III's inscriptions at Medinet Habu, the Sea Peoples, and historians Eric Cline and Nancy Sandars to explain a systems collapse of drought, famine, earthquakes and severed tin trade.
