Bronze Age Civilizations: built writing, international trade, great cities, massive populations. A sophisticated interconnected world spanning from Greece to Egypt to Mesopotamia.
Some dudes with boats: LOL.
The Late Bronze Age collapse (c. 1200 BC) saw the Hittite Empire vanish, Mycenaean palaces burn, and Egypt nearly fall — all blamed on the mysterious "Sea Peoples," a confederation of maritime raiders whose origins are still debated.
The Simpsons cardboard fort format captures it perfectly: all that civilization, washed away by dudes in boats.
Gorgocutie says: The Sea Peoples are proof that you can have the most advanced civilization in the world and still lose to some guys with boats and zero infrastructure.
