In recent threads about the Bronze Age Collapse (or those that have touched on it), once of the solutions, to me at least, was to have a PoD where a peripheral civilisation is able to step in to fill a gap in the system set up in the eastern Mediterranean of the time.

Obviously this isn't Egypt, the Hittites, or Mycenaean civilisations, as they were tightly bound.

But if you have the combination of famine due to climate change, invasion, and (best term) Earthquake Storms - having someone removed from the Earthquake Storms, but able to be an agricultural producer as the climate shifts is an ideal 'saviour' civilisation to come in late in the game and flourish.

So I suppose what I'm asking is whether you agree, and if you do, what you think the best candidates are, and what sort of PoD you'd use to bring them forward.

My choice would be have an Egyptian fort set up roughly on the site of OTL Constantinople - essentially small base from which they can explore and interact with the Thrancians, Getae or Bassarab peoples.
