It is the year 1220 BC. Civilizations and high cultures stretch the Mediterranean from Greece to Egypt and Mesopotamia. Trade thrives and the world is more globalized, interconnected, and prosperous than ever before. Great works of architecture are commissioned by mighty kings who rule vast stretches of land, and the nations of the world flourish through an extensive network of trading and diplomatic ties.
A mere fourty to fifty years later, after centuries of brilliance, the civilized world of the Bronze Age will come to an abrupt and cataclysmic end. Kingdoms and Palace-States fall like dominoes over the course of just a few decades, along with their writing systems, technology, and monumental architecture. No more Minoans or Mycenaeans. No more Trojans, Hittites, or Babylonians.
