After the Bronze Age collapse, we would not see societies so advanced for another half a millenium. What happened?
I've got a horrible feeling that in 4000 years historians will be debating the great oil age collapse...
The ability for an entire Age of History to collapse with just a few missteps in trade seems like an unbelievable outcome. After all, they had already advanced far enough to get rid of their sad, lumpy metal.
Challenge: Take a shot whenever he says "But what happens when..."
Amazing videos. Im a 46 year old man who loves this style of videos. My younger kids love them too. Honestly Ive learned more about history than when I was in high school. From these I go and research more about your subject. Please continue to make these videos. Again amazing +1
The minute they made the comparison to oil in the modern world, I started to get the question, "How do we prevent a collapse like that from happening in our societies today?"
This all is... kind of frightening, because modern societies are even more entangled and interdependent than the late bronze age societies. Sure, we nowadays have ways to predict and counteract various disasters that might collapse civilisation - but it is also extremely dependent on things like electricity and telecommunications networks.
Anyone hyped for assassins creed origins?
In essence, its the same idea as in engineering: The more moving pieces you have, the easier it is for the mechanism to stop working correctly or break. They seemed to have a lot of sophisticated systems, but no contingencies that could be quiclky enacted in case of emergencies. But in all fairness, that is a big challenge even with modern logistics and scientific knowledge.
The infrastructure needed to maintain chariots is a bit more complex then that needed to maintain heavy cavalry. A single chariot is a team both of mean and horses who need to train together, the components needed to build and maintain the chariot itself are varied and include not only metal smiths but carpenters and engineers. Then because chariots cannot function all types of terrain you need accurate maps so that the army doesn't accidentally into a rocky gorge where the chariots cannot function.
do you think they will be an oil age collapse?
The feel when you are Ramesses II and your neighborhood friends one by one stop writing to and responding letters for from you...
“The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again.”
3:09
The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow... of that little shit Walpole
Lessons like THIS is the whole reason why history is such an important part of any civilization. It's not just fun to learn about, but the knowledge of the history of our civilizations is the very foundation upon which it sits. Even if we might think of our society today as more robust and persistent, the same rules apply today as they did back in those days. If any one link of the chain breaks... everything may once again be lost...
“More Specialists”
"Knight of Letters" sounds kinda badass in a way.
It was greed from the top of Paradox Interactive that lead to the collapse... wait... where am I?
"A scribe is a knight of letters."
