Please set them out here gurl. Your theories are excellent OT reading material

Theory 1: That the solar system goes through a thin disc of dark matter, which throws comets off their orbits and into earth. I read this on some website that I cannot remember since I read it a long time ago. The theory is that this happens in a regular cycle that seems to coincide with mass extinctions.

Theory 2: That these cities, which were militarily powerful, engaged in battle with a small force of ancient aliens which led to their ruin. It sounds outlandish, but there was quite a bit of "odd" events during that time period that could be attributed to ancient aliens (though most of it was not in that area).

The military theory is weak because a conquering military would typically rebuild the region.

I promise you, in one way or another, Liberals were responsible.

You'd be surprised to know that I believe that England is failing and that liberals are largely responsible for it.

BUT, liberals, particularly progressive ones, are saving this country from ruin (even though I don't agree with everything that typical progressives believe). Look how much better Canada is than the U.S. in many respects. I don't like their views on free speech but most of their other social policies do well.

Robert Drews's book, The End of the Bronze Age, is a pretty entertaining read. He admits that all we can do is guess about the Bronze Age collapse, and his guess is that the ruling castes of various cultures were overthrown by lower classes, either on or off the battlefield. This created civil unrest, revolts, and chaos.

The reason you don't see this discussed very often in historiography is that it's hard for someone to put his professional opinion out there on scanty evidence. It's too easy to pick apart each and every possible reason for the collapse... social, environmental, extraterrestrial (!), you name it. Nothing anyone says will be accepted as "the" answer. You have to be okay with guessing.

But Drews was actually praised for taking on a topic no one had visited for a long time, and hazarding an original guess. It's as good a guess as any.
