While I am an autocrat - of my own personal body - I have managed to mostly avoid California.
I appreciate very much your historical posts. Did you know that from Europe to South Asia, the Bronze Age civilizations collapsed ~1150 BC? Not just the Minoans, but the Hittites, Assyrians, Egyptians, and others all suffered terribly during the Grand Solar Minimum of that era. Famine, plague, and the war that inevitably follows both, disrupted their societies, broke trade routes for copper and tin, which were essential for bronze making, and harsh conditions decimated plague-ravaged populations, collapsing empires that had lasted thousands of years.
We are just entering a Grand Solar Minimum now.
Interesting times ahead, my friend.
Thanks!
By the way, i don' t know about Grand Solar Minimum.Dear @valued-customer, thank you for your reply.
Koreans learned that the invasion of The Sea Peoples caused the collapse of the Bronze Age civilization and the birth of the Iron Age civilization.
The Sea Peoples were the Philistines who fought against Israel's Samson, Samuel, Saul, and David.
The Sea Peoples are a symptom of the Grand Solar Minimum, not the cause of the collapse. There is a reason they were so intent on invasion, and that is because famine in their homelands further north meant they took lands further south or watched their children starve to death.
From my research, the Sea Peoples weren't a single entity, but massive outflows from various regions suffering from reduced growing seasons across Northern Europe, as well as societies that had already collapsed from their influx further south, like from Minos. Egyptian representations reveal their arms and armor were extremely varied, and resemble archeological finds from Scotland, Germany, and similar northern climes.
Also, the Sea Peoples didn't just come to wage war. They brought their families, oxen, and tools with them. They came for arable land to farm.
I am unaware of research into that era from East Asia, but am sure that Korea particularly would have suffered from the change in solar output, and would be very interested in any research you may discover regarding 12th Century BC imperial conflicts there.
Do you believe in the existence of astrology and pre - ancient civilizations? The Bible said not to believe in astrology.
But, The circulation cycle of the Earth's ice age through the change of the sun has scientific evidence. I believe in astronomy, but I think astrology is a personal interest.
I strongly disbelieve in astrology. Astrological divination is not the source of current scientific understanding of cyclical variation in solar output. Astronomy and other physical research is.

You believe in the civilizations mentioned in the Bible, that they aren't speculations based on astrological mummery, surely. The above link leads to a paper that discusses evidence for famine that drove the Sea Peoples to invade the Middle East.
The Late Bronze Age is covered in detail in some parts of the Bible.
I agree with your claim.
Yes, The Bible is the oldest historical record in the world. The Sumerian civilization was created by European scholars in the early 20th century. The Sumerian and Akkadian civilizations were created by the imagination of European scholars.
Moses said, "Do not serve as gods by making idols of the sun, moon and stars like the Gentiles." " Serve only the one God who created the universe."
All civilizations and peoples of the world believed astrology as a religion, but only the Bible rejected it. Modern Chinese and Japanese also believe in astrology, but Korean Christians reject it.
It is a difficult paper for elementary school students in the United States. thank you!
You do well to reject astrological superstitions. While the paper may be difficult for you, you have a great depth of historical knowledge, and it is apparent you are very interested in the material. I am confident that working to understand the paper as best you can will be very rewarding for you.
I will be happy to read more of your posts that discuss our history after you have gained even better understanding than you have now.
Honorable senior. California seems to be dawning now. I hope you have enough sleep for your health.
You seem to have too much expectations for me = elementary school old student in the United States.
Thank you. hahaha
