What destroyed the great Bronze Age cities?

The "Sea People" sound like ancient Vikings.
I was also thinking sea faring warriors hell bent on destroying sound like Vikings. They wouldn't be interested in conquering, just looting and plunder and the Mediterranean would be ripe for picking.

I don't think the Vikings came around until like 500 AD though.

Somebody came to America from Europe in ancient times, mined a shitload of copper and took it back to the ME.
Vikings settled all along that route between Europe and Nova Scotia.
So, they were probably going back and forth for a very long time - whatever they were called at the time.
The Piri Reis map (below) likely shows these people had been all over north and south America and had it well mapped.

So yeah, the Sea People pillaging and looting the ancient Mediterranean sound a lot like whomever the Vikings were before being called such.

Then, Henry Sinclair used "old Viking maps" to rediscover North America. Eventually, some relation of his married Columbus down in Portugal. Portugal is where the Templar fleet first escaped after the King Philip and Pope Clement tried to wipe their shit out. After that, the fleet is believed to have slipped out to Sinclair's place in Scotland. Many believe the Templars then took that same northern route to the Americas with what was left of their treasure and fleet.

So, the whole Vikings to American and Portugal to Scotland connection has a lot of history and relevance to the Americas. It's interesting to think about the link between the destruction of Bronze Age cities and the discovery of this land. The Viking people are likely the common thread in all of it. It's a shame we don't know more about them.

They've found 47 so far. Reduced to rubble, never to be inhabited again....these cities all were seriously fucked up by someone or something.

Was it the mysterious and violent Sea People? Was it 100 years of drought forced starving urbanites to flee? That wouldn't explain all being flattened. So, was it earthquakes? That wouldn't explain shit.

I haven't learned a fucking thing all weekend. Someone say some interesting bullshit.

sea peoples

the medinet habu has a carving of a battle. always been my guess.
 
Iron age cities with better weapons.

In reality though:

The Vikings - and whomever they were before we called them that, had a big advantage over the ME super cities of this time; they were much freer. The people with more freedom tend to win, unless they're France.
