You Wouldn’t Survive the Bronze Age Collapse

Welcome to the Bronze Age Collapse: a centuries-long nosedive into famine, war, disease, and the kind of cultural obliteration that makes archaeologists cry and economists lose sleep. One day there were palaces, international trade routes, and written records. The next, you're bartering sandals for moldy lentils while trying not to catch dysentery from your drinking ditch.

This isn’t the fall of a single empire. It’s the unraveling of a dozen — all at once. And somehow, you’re stuck in the middle, too hungry to care and too tired to run.

Lie back. Get comfortable. And let the quiet horror of systemic collapse lull you to sleep.
