Un peu en retard : un article de février relayant une étude parue dans "Nature" sur le probable effet de trois années de sécheresse en 1198-1196 av. J.-C. sur l'effondrement de l'empire hittite.

@ManyRoads yeah, the latest theory, in super short, is that climate changes, maybe by volcanic eruptions caused famine and violent mass migration of what we call the #seapeople, which in turn devastated all civilisations in the late bronze age causing the collapse of civilisation. #bronzeagecollapse

"Severe Drought May Have Contributed to the Decline of the Hittites ~ The empire abruptly vanished around 1200 B.C.E., and ancient tree rings suggest climate played a role"

Three years of severe #drought could have contributed to the mysterious collapse of the ancient Anatolian empire of the #Hittites 3,000 years ago. Tree rings from ancient juniper timber revealed that there was little #rainfall in the area from 1198 to 1196 BC, which could have forced the Hittites to abandon their capital, perhaps dooming the #civilization.

Drought may have doomed this ancient empire — a warning for today’s climate crisis https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/other/drought-may-have-doomed-this-ancient-empire-a-warning-for-today-s-climate-crisis/ar-AA17fE7J #hittites #drought #extremeweather #ClimateCrisis

On the other hand, it seems like Nefertiti probably ruled as King of Egypt (as Smenkhkare) for a couple of years after the death of Akhenaten. This would have have provided both the authority needed to send such a message to the Hittites as well as enough time for the messages to go back and forth.
Anyway, that’s my hot take for the day. #egypt #hittites #bronzeage #zannanzaaffair
