Nice thread. Should put vidya related into perspective. Also, the Bronze Age collapse was likely caused by the Sea People— they were defeated in their attack on Kmt, but the Pharoah let the survivors in (a mistake in that they transmit their knowledge thru the matriarch). And while you’re hanging around Kmt remember, according to Solon, the majesty of Kmt descended from a greater civilization; Egyptian and Greek have words whose etymology traces to Mayan (archaic not classic); and this was probably the first post flood civilization. How do you survive a flood? With a boat. Where do you make landfall? First mountain you can find.
