Excavations at the Canaanite coastal cities show clear evidence of destruction c 1150 BC and replacement of Canaanite culture with the more Hellenic forms of the Sea People.
There is very little doubt that massive population movements did in the Late Bronze Age empires. The Myceneans, Hitties, Cypriots, all were overrun and the Egyptians survived only barely...and began a thousand year slide to oblivion. Not so coincidentally, the layer known as Troy VIIa went up in flames c 1190 BC which is consistent with the start of Sea People deprivations. Not Achilles. Just some smelly Hellenic barbarians. Of course, you couldn't expect Homer to write that story down! Well of course they influence each styles. They both had extensive contact with traders like the Canaanites.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

A destruction layer could be the key to avoiding us becoming the next destruction layer.

Yeah I think so too. I think the warming we are experience is only partially man made. When it warms more that will sink many growing areas triggering mass migrations. As you know mass migration is a common trait between the fall of the han, Romans, and the late bronze age collapse. As well the western governments are crippled with debt that will only get worse.

For example I was born in the year 1991. Now the average lifespan for a Canadian male is 79 years. That means I will life too the year 2070 quiet likely. The worlds oil supply will likely be gone by then and the worlds population will be peaking at about 9 billion in 2050. So while the oil crisis has already kicked off. The other issues are somewhat unpredictable and probably won't start for another 20-30 years.
