bronze age collapse

This was a bit of a dumb idea that came into my head a few days ago and I decided to try and map out what it might look like. The map I made is apparently too large to post here but I did put it up on reddit in r/althistory if you want to have a look (link at the bottom). This is my first time...

The world is collapsing. Barbarians on all sides send horde after horde slaughtering chariot after chariot. However they have finally been subdued. Yet the kingdom still has a few major issues such as lack of harvest, socio-economic problems, etc. How do you avoid the collapse that occurred in...

The Bronze Age collapse, while undoubtedly quite a dark era in terms of written source material, is not as mysterious as popular culture and the mass media makes it out to be. On one of the few written records that shed light on what happened, a monumental inscription of pharaoh Merneptah, known...

The Palace of the Red Land ‘’My lords, we have had our fill of the good things we have shared, and of the banquet’s boon companion, the harp. Let us go out of doors now and try our hands at various sports so that when our guest has reached his house he can tell his friends that at boxing...

The Bronze Age collapse, was among the most devastating events in history in this time period. While some cultures and civilizations disappeared entirely, others were severely damaged, and general urbanization decreased rapidly. One of the civilizations that fell underneath the cascade of...

In Myceanean Greece, the head olympian wasn't Zeus, but Poseidon, god of the seas and earthquakes. He was worshipped more in a cthonic (earth/underworld) context than the oceans however. Zeus's significance as a sky god came after the bronze age collapse. So, with a pod after the collapse, how...

the greek gods were foundational to western culture and religion, and one of the most important was the King of Olympus and the lord of the cosmos- Hades. He personified the greek values of justice, patience, and kind but firm rule. But there was a period between the Mycenaeans and the...

During the Bronze age collapse ; there was a group known as the Sea Peoples who raided and helped destroy the Bronze Age civilizations. What do u think happened to the sea people? Did they fall apart? Did there descendants replace the indigenous people and become the dominant ethnic group...

The Late Bronze Age collapse was a turbulent time that saw the end of many cultures in the Eastern Mediterranean, including Mycenaean Greece, the Amorite Kingdoms, and the Hittite Empire, among others. One of the states that managed to weather the storm - albeit significantly battered and...

I know proper historical information on the Sea Peoples, except for Egyptian accounts, is hard to come about, but basically... what if, during the Bronze Age Collapse in the 12th century BCE, the coalition of possibly Italian mediterranean tribes known as the Sea Peoples ends up conquering Lower...

The Bronze Age Collapse was arguably the greatest disaster ever to strike civilization, worse than the fall of the Western Roman Empire, as many of the civilizations of the Bronze Age were destroyed (like the Hittites and the Mycanaeans) or diminished (like Egypt and Assyria), but could it have...

Some could call this an ASB scenario, but i don't know if it qualifies as one. What if the mysterious ancient sea peoples had never existed, or chose to stay in their equally mysterious turf instead of invading the eastern mediterranean like OTL? So, what are the effects of an avoided or...

So @NikoZnate did this amazing TL sometime back about Atenism not only thriving in Egypt, but managing to gain a slight following among the other Bronze Age Civilizations (sponsored by the Pharohs). While Niko does a great job exploring the plausibility and short to medium term prospects for...

Alright, so I've got the beginnings of a TL in my mind, with a POD taking place around the Bronze Age Collapse (12th Century BC). This obviously means that most, if not all, of the religons from OTL will not be made ITTL. And while I probably could make up a bunch of the 'replacement' religions...

What I mean by the title is what if Egypt remained fragmented and cannibalized by its neighbors to the point it where a Pharaoh can never rise again. I suppose this would me more a political death as I'm certain the culture would survive in some hybridized form. On the other hand what if the...
