The Sea Peoples invasions is clearly one of the most important events in ancient history, in world history, and yet one hardly hears anything about it. The history one is taught in school and even the universities is more about propping up a dubious status quo than anything, and tends to focus on more modern times. As far as civilizational collapse is concerned, I think it simply inevitable once again. If anything things are worse today than in times past when so many empires rose and fell. The inane escapisms in our society (sport as the meaning of life, facebook piffle and dumbed down TV shows), the danger of nuclear weapons, and a Western political leadership that is deeply corrupt and incompetent, the rule of commercialism everywhere as the defining value, discredited ideologies of both Left and Right remain firmly entrenched, chaotic economies, refugee crises, social and community breakdowns etc.<br /><br />The question is not if the West will collapse, it is how and when.
