1177 BC: The Year Civilization Collapsed (Eric Cline, PhD)

Good point

They assume she was sheltering, she could have been rushing either inside or outside and got struck, but it also means her body was not buried, instead was left where it fell, which on its own indicates the city was abandoned immediately, but in that case I would expect the body to have been dragged and scattered by scavengers (creatures), so I don't buy what they are saying at all based on the interpretation of that body alone.

@@_John_P If the body was buried under a lot of debris, it's possible that scavengers weren't able to get to it.

@@_John_P no it doesn't mean that her body wasn't burried. The fact they found the body at all is proof scavengers couldn't get to her. It's not prove the place was immediately abandoned. I think its more likely that nobody found her in the rubble and just like with the dinosaurs, the soil became her tomb

@@RichardsNickname People reuse stones, any pile of ruble would have been taken eventually to build walls or other structures elsewhere, exposing the remains, unless the place was abandoned and forgotten.

I dont. I have been a history student my whole life, and I was a psychology major in college. Our liberal arts colleges can not even teach semi accurate twentieth century history. Now we have marauding young zombies screaming about a system that they have no actual knowledge of, and worshiping evil, racist, sociopaths like marx, Trotsky, and Lenin. If we dont stomp it out soon, we will see our collapse also.

Fake! Those people with families were refugees of the invasions of Sea Peoples. Also the depictions (of those invasion wars) depicts (and not only in Egypt) all kind of people which were all involved in these wars and migrations, are NOT all the infamous Sea Peoples, but ALL peoples involved in these wars, the autochton victims, plus the invaders). Many fake info (and all based on BS and infantile speculations) is today being purposely spread allover Media concerning the Sea Peoples, but the real informations, based on real proof (also thoroughly documented by the greatest history investigator of all times, Dinu Costel Linta aka "DCL" or "LCD") exists allready, about WHO were the Sea Peoples, documented also by the Egyptian tablets (as well as the Babylonian ones), and even by this very guy in this clip, but when he was younger, sane and incoruptibile, in another clip (See "The Colaps of the Bronze Age Civilisation" documentary on youtube, about the "Sea People", the perpetual killers of the human race, who they are/were: krplus.net/bidio/fc6tjJp6oq-5iII ), long before he was hansomly paid by the Sea Peoples of today (who owes the Media, the banks etc.) to divert the atention from them (the descendents of the Sea Peoples), to other cheap fairytales for weak minds (as a sane person sees through it right away), as the comediant type speculations in this clip shows.

Exactly!!!

To what end? It is the fairy tale of a man debunking the fairy tales told him when he was a student in college. They are all fairy tales from the mouths of men and of no value. They are distractions, diversions from life.

The Rooted Word His work is researched, and evidence-based. Fairytales are imagination-based, mythology, like most of the contents of “holy” texts.

@@TheRootedWord looks like someone doesn't understand the content

@@TheRootedWord This presentation may not be for you, but your opinion does not apply to others. For most of us here, it is not a distraction or diversion, but furthering our understanding of the past. There must be people in every society who researches and keeps a record of the past. A world without people like this Professor (and his colleagues) and his lust for the truth and understanding about our world's history would be akin to some of what he talks about - things that are forgotten (and having to be re-learned later). We would not learn anything because we would forget everything that got us here in the first place. Without knowing and understanding the past we are doomed to make the same mistakes going forward. Knowing the history of past cultures and people of the world gives us perspective and many people have a wanton need to know this history. There is a famous quote, I believe is was Cornel West, who said something like, "You can't really move forward until you look back." It would take a lot longer for mankind to move forward if he does not embrace the history of the past. Mankind might even reach a point in the future where mankind can go no further because we think the past is irrelevant.

@@LithiumFusion1 I know right. If only more people would watch stuff like this rather than 'reality' TV we would be a more advanced species. lol

He is a fine lecturer, but what he says is an opinion set, hardly more than 140 years old.
To pass his course, indeed all of this opinion must be followed... or you will fail the course.
But his thoughts are countered by many other enquiring people today. And the truth?
The pharaoh he calls 'Rameses III, in 1177 BC', is really a much later famous monarch
called Apries by Greek authors and Khophra by a Hebrew prophet. And he was alive and
well in the lifetimes of Jeremiah, Plato, Thales of Miletes and Zedekiah, the last king of Judah.
This pharaoh famously sailed his fleet to Cyprus, defeated the Cypriot fleet and then conquered
the island itself. He used the captured booty to build some nice monuments back home in Egypt.
After that, the entire eastern Mediterranean region was ravaged by the Babylonian tide.

@Saint Lucifer They're all awful at destroying knowledge and culture. It even happens today. It's awful.

Imagine how much extra junk we would have and how costly it would be to keep it all cataloged and in good condition. We could all do with less junk.

An ancient historian friend once claimed that I, who study modern U.S. history, have access to more information on any one YEAR in the 1930s than he does to ALL of antiquity. I doubted his claim -- at first. Then I thought about all the books, magazines, and newspapers I could get in one way/form or another from, say, 1937. Then I moved on to art and popular culture sources: paintings, photography, illustrations, sculptures, movies, radio show recordings, music recordings, sheet music, comic books, etc., etc., and then all the manuscripts sources in archives: diaries, letters, oral histories, and so much more. Yup, he had less than that from thousands of years of the ancient world. Amazing that we can piece together what we have to create anything like a coherent story.

George B but black lives matter. Marxist iconoclasts

Karen Houser the Actual Academic Art world- around the world, tho lib, is loosing our shit. Iconoclasm is our cross! Burning books and toppling democratic symbols has never gone well historically. Out side of click bait and media prompts there is massive legislative power working to restore history for fear its further white washed. Heritage monuments will be restored to higher glory and their importance in public space every more honored. Toppling monuments is a crime against humanity, so internationally defended against, not just our nation; its part of media (art=1st amendment control) consciousness suppression, dare I say wafting with Marxism.

You may think that but you’d be wrong.

Valentina Valley That’s a stretch.

@Valentina Valley Destroying enemy cities and expelling and even eradicating entire populations was, sadly, not uncommon in the Ancient Era: the Assyrians, Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks/Macedonians, Hebrews, Huns, Romans, and barbarian tribes all practiced this to varying degrees. However, this mostly wasn't "genocide" as it's understood post WW2, but rather an often merciless waging of total war against enemy states and their peoples, and the savagery unleashed by a victorious army upon a defeated enemy after suffering large losses in combat.
This has been seen throughout history, including WW2 after the Nazi German state was conquered and its people, especially in the eastern areas under Soviet control, were subjected to mass rape, brutality, reprisal killings and a limited form of "ethnic cleansing" from ancient German(ic) lands. All of this occurred as revenge for the previous 3-4 years of atrocities, mass rape and murder (and genocide of Jews &c) inflicted upon Soviet POWs and subjugated people in conquered areas of the USSR, during "Operation Barbarossa" (some of which acts were actually "genocide" as considered in the post-WW2 context).

Your comment will not age well I think just as those predicting collapse in 2020. I know it's a good joke but I preffer jokes that have basis on reality.

@@Game_Hero as was discussed in the lecture, collapse happens over a century, not in a single year. So as 1177 is used as a short hand so could too be 2021.

Adolescents are typically more concerned with hormones than history.

b/c middle and high school history teachers have not went on archaeological digs, they do not have a passion, amazing memory, and knowledge of the subject matter as does Dr. Cline. Instead we have over 12 years of public schooling, we’re meant to find out what we’re truly passionate about. Instead, those 12 years are spent developing an obsession with grades, the ability to regurgitate information, and the realization that achievement is more important than understanding.

That is because, the teachers that teach history are told to teach from a text book not to think outside the book.

Many ages got rushed so fast in my old school in Germany. The second world war was the biggest and looongest topic. So long, that nobody was anymore interested in my class in that. I couldn't care less now about all the nazi things. That happens when you force the students to read and read and learn and learn for so long about one topic. I could puke about the history lessons.

@@heffalumptarkin1384 history is written by the winner. if you stop the antinazi propaganda for a second, one might start to question eradicating german civilians and dropping nukes on woman and children.

More people would learn about the Bronze Age if milestone wedding anniversaries (10, 25,50,75) had gifts tied to various ages. Digital age would be the last one, so whatever is current is good for a gift.

@@humphrex - Boo, f*cking hoo. Nazis killed millions of Russians. Stalin killed tens of millions. Now Putin is looking to restart the process. Whining about the West? Really? Look at the scale of killing before even mentioning nukes. More people died from ethnic cleansing than ever died from nukes.

The teachers don't know anything about it. They could make it relatable by watching the movie "Troy." And say, THESE people. We're talking about these people." There are other things from popular culture. Knowing Bible stories is essential. All sorts of exotic peoples and cultures that lived in the Bronze Age

He knows so well what he wants to communicate, how to spend the time allotted. So many lecturers are hampered by narrow thinking, like being slaves of their own powerpoints.

Yes, I was thinking about how refreshing it is to listen and flow the line of thought so pleasantly.

Many that I have listened to in the past on similar subjectsI didn't continue to listen to as the lecturer was boring and uninspiring. This guy not only knew what he was talking about was also quite entertaining making the topic interesting, and as a result I listened to it all and learned a great deal. Well done!

Could not agree more. He knows how to communicate.

So, was he one of the Sea People?

Actually I think he looks more like Sigi Schmid (former coach of the Galaxy) than Captain Kangaroo. But I agree, while this is not my favorite period in history, he made it interesting enough that I watched until the end and was actually disappointed that the lecture was over. Very well done.

Very well conceptualized.

I was in school in the 70s-80s (SE Europe) and I did Ancient history in grade 5 and 9 (high school), medieval history grade 6 and 10, modern history grade 7 and 11, and. national history (from ancient times to modern) in grade 8 and 12. So we learned about Egyptians and their ancient kingdoms, Phoenicians, Persia, Greece, Roman empire and others around. My son, in Canada in the 2010s, did almost nothing at history, except from the 1812 war.

Machine learn algorithms will take it to the hypercube and beyond.

I once had a prof who taught modern history. He taught it n reverse, so our 20th century were so much easier to understand when I was shown how western culture in the 19th undermined near and middle eastern culture. Not to mention the far east. Which shows so much about even our lives to this day.

It's better to learn history as a timeline. One needs to know the basic facts of when and where before the discussion of the why can be had. It also takes too long to have the discussion about the debate of why something happened because there is rarely a consensus about the why. Add discussion of the why for each event and you would rarely get beyond a few events during a semester. The why needs to be confined to advanced courses or books if you want to explore a particular event.

Hence the name giving " COLON- nizers

lol how do you speak "honestly" about events you haven't witnessed? No good historian who specialize in ancient societies are truly confident in their sources apart from the few rare cases where you have both multiple cohesive written accounts and archaeological evidence to back it. Most times they basically just choose to believe something someone wrote thousands of years ago, or they look at pottery and make guesses.

This is KRplus, and just last week I saw a video that suggested the Sea Peoples were Atlantians, which included somehow both the Basques, Ainu, and Aztecs. There were holes in this story and the way the information was presented did not admit countering evidence.

@@BarNuun When you started with Velikovsky I stopped reading.

Sounds like a massive volcano that erupted and people moved from the north to the Mediterranean coast. Southern coast of France and later Sardinia and Sicily. Maybe the Sardinians and Sicilians moved east due to the massive influx of people from the north. Hence where the Sea people came from.
There is evidence that a massive volcano in Iceland erupted at this time.

@@bubba842 Hello. Can You please recommend me some reliable resource on this topic ?

Activity at the Neolithic Orkney structures and tombs, and most of their equivalents further south, including Stonehenge and Silbury Hill ceased quite suddenly around 2,300 BC. This coincided with the arrival of beaker culture and migrants into Britain from the east and the start of the Bronze Age (in Britain). Therefore there is a gap of about 1,000 years between the Orkney civilisation and the events in the Mediterranean, although these might have had some knock-on effect on Britain in the late Bronze Age?

@@giderahwolf It seems that there is a possibility of several eruptions around Iceland - premium.weatherweb.net/weather-in-history-400-to-100bc/
