This is a follow up to our overview of the Bronze Age Collapse:    • WTF Happened in the Bronze Age Collap...   In this interview with Dr. Jesse Millek we take a closer look at the claims of destruction which have long been used to back the idea of a cataclysmic Bronze Age Collapse. However Jesse (and others) have found that the claimed levels of destruction were not as severe as initially thought and a more gradual tradition during this period may be more likely.
