Catastrophic climate change was the major factor for the “bronze age collapse,” good evidence provided in Eric Cline’s book 1177 B. C. The Year Civilization Collapsed, by severe and prolonged drought which continued to the present, proven by the fact that many bronze age ruins are now in vast deserts. Yet Cline never considers the implication of the clearer skies which caused the drastic reduction in rainfall, that the skies became clearer too in the extreme latitudes marking the end of the Ice Age when the ocean had cooled to about today’s temperatures, nine hundred years after Noah’s Flood, the warmer ocean in its aftermath having been the engine for the Ice Age.
