If we were talking over dinner and you asked, "When did people stop living like cavemen and start leveling up?" I'd say that's when the Bronze Age kicked inaround 3100 BCE. Humans went from just using stone to mixing copper and tin to make bronze. It started in places like Mesopotamia and Egypt, and it changed everythingtools, farming, weapons, buildings, even writing systems like cuneiform. Suddenly, there were real cities, kings, trade routes, and empires. Basically, the Bronze Age is when humans decided, "Let's get organized." But it all came crashing down around 1200 BCE. The videos explained how multiple civilizationsMycenaeans, Hittites, Egyptiansjust started collapsing. Theories include climate change, earthquakes, famine, invasions by the Sea Peoples, and even internal revolts (Extra History, 2020). I found the explanation super convincing because it wasn't just one thingit was a domino effect. Everything was so connected that once a few fell, the rest followed. What can we learn? First, don't be so dependent on everything going perfectly. Ancient civilizations got too comfortable, didn't plan for disasters, and didn't diversify. Sound familiar? It's basically a 3,000-year-old reminder to stay flexible, stay informed, and don't ignore the warning signs. Response to this post with a different insight with 150 words
