Imagine... the most CONNECTED world ever built. Cities of GOLD. Ships crossing EVERY sea. Then, in one lifetime — silence.It is 1200 BC. The ancient world is at its PEAK. Palaces rise. Trade routes stretch from Egypt to Babylon. EVERYTHING works.Then something happens. Something so TOTAL, so COMPLETE, that twelve civilizations fall. Not one. Not two. TWELVE. All at once.The Hittite Empire — GONE. Mycenaean Greece — GONE. Ugarit, Cyprus, the Levantine cities — GONE. Wiped from history in decades.
