Collapse+of+the+Bronze+Age

1200 BCE to 900 BCE the collapse of the Bronze age is defined as an eclipse and collapse of all culture. Literacy shut down, art ceased, very little if any wirtten artifacts are of this time, and many of the great palaces and cities collapsed. This dawned a new time called the dark ages that lasted until around 900 BCE. The collapse occured all around the mediterannean and much of the intercultural trade stopped.
