The Mysterious Sea People Who Destroyed the Bronze Age THE WEEKLY STRANGE Episode 60

Around 1200 BCE, an unprecedented catastrophe struck the ancient world, bringing down nearly every major civilization from Greece to Mesopotamia. This event, known as the Bronze Age Collapse, was fueled by an enigmatic and terrifying maritime force: The Sea People. Using primary sources from Ancient Egyptian records—specifically the temple of Ramesses III at Medinet Habu—Jon tracks the origins and devastating path of this coalition of raiders and migrants. We analyze the different groups (Peleset, Sherden, Denyen) and explore the complex archaeological evidence suggesting they were not the only cause of the collapse, but the final, fatal blow. Discover the "perfect storm" of events that made the empires so vulnerable. Join Jon as he unravels one of history's greatest military and population migration mysteries, and learn how the Sea People paved the way for the world of the Iron Age.
