Apocalyptic times

>Toltecs
Anazazi go down at the same time, likely climate change in the southwest, triggers large migrations, famines, cannibalism, and made torture killing a folk art.

You usually get it defined as between 184 AD and ending at around 280.

As for big events, just check here. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Kingdoms
Most of the population decline probably wasn't due to big name battles or events though; China's population at the time was supported by some fairly massive agricultural infrastructure works, especially huge chains of irrigation ditches spreading out from the Yellow river. Get a bunch of rampaging armies and smash up that stuff, and suddenly you don't have nearly the same kind of food production that can support about 55 million people.

Reality. Do you think the Sea Peoples just popped out of nowhere? There was a massive crop failure all over the Mediterranean, possibly of volcanic origin, which forced several previously settled civilizations on the move.

Tollense battle comes to mind, largest bronze age battlefield uncovered so far, in northern Germany. Exactly at the same time as the sea people show up.
So far DNA and strontium tests are not completed yet, but it'll be interesting to see where the combatants came from.

There's been evidence of massive migrations in that period as far as China, it was probably some gigantic cataclysm.

Please do respect their culture, it is a time honored tradition to thin out the population every now and then.

there have been raider cultures throughout history, every once in a while a really effective one comes by and kicks the shit out of the softer civilizations

Not really. Raids and pirates yes, but not a migration of an entire population that completely displaces/wipes out entire civilizations.

>Huns
>Mongols
>Timur
>Conquistadores

>conquistadores
Are you being retarded or just pretending? There was like 2000 Spaniards invading the Aztecs. What happened during the Bronze Age is that ENTIRE CIVILIZATIONS moved from one place to another, not just a tiny raiders group.

>Sea peoples come into your town, rape your women, and burn it to the ground
>NOT part of the apocalypse guyz!!!
heh

>not part
>part
Did I mention the word "part" in that post, you literal nigger?

There where then thousands conquistadores and early settlers in total , and they brought diseases, war, famine and slavery to an entire continent.

Relatively few Mongols did kill the so fare largest percentage of humanity ever.

Raider people are a fact.

Sedentary/developed fags being the "softer" civilizations is a massive meme. "Raiders" only ever took on empires when they were declining from the inside.

>Sea peoples were the consequence, not the cause
It really sounds like you're trying to say that the famine/economic decline was THE REAL apocalypse so yes. otherwise your post was just an excercise in pedantically picking on a guy who lazily said "sea peoples invasions" instead of "bronze age collapse"

Of course raiders are a fact, raiders populations however are mostly unheard of. Your best bet is the migratory period of the early middle ages, closest parallel to what happened and it also followed a massive catastrophe.

3rd century crisis, of course

Sea people invasions was just a part of Bronze age collapse. It was neither all there was to it, nor was it its cause.

Did I say otherwise??????

Mongol invasion of Iran

I wouldn't want be near Mongol hoards at at point in their rampages across the world. They were ruthless.

>2023
>WWIII

we'll enter it with strategic bombing, and asymmetrical skirmishes. we'll leave it with ai powered robotic death squads, and the absolute dominance of the multi-national corporate mega chaebol

Bronze Age Collapse

To describe Argentina, it's like an autistic kid acting cocky on the internet who is just lucky and safe inside his isolated room.

Sounds depressing, but nor really end time blues.

South america pretty much. It feels like living in Sodom here
