This. As I understand it, they were really refugees escaping famines, regime collapses and other hardships. They were seeking better opportunities. While they did cause strain where they landed, the primary reason for the bronze age collapse was due to the famines and such. Essentially, as the dominos fell, the world economy fell as well. More famines and the like, and, hence, more refugees, being the result. It honestly resembles our current state of affairs world wide so much it’s ridiculous.

I’m over exaggerating a lot. I suppose I’m being Doom and Gloom about the current state of the old US of A. I’m worried that one of the key economies might crash with an idiot making the decisions. There have been multiple migrations over the past 10 or so years. It could be the case that if things continue as they are, we will see a global economic crash soonish.

So you’re saying the Sea People are back?
They call them Boat People now, but same thing.
