It's related to the word levante from Italian for to rise. Because for the Romans, for the Europeans, for those in the West, this is where the sun rose. This was the east. It was the eastern Mediterranean. And so you have all of these civilizations that are in the Levant in the 14th century BCE, in the 13th century BCE. But then they start to decline. And that general period after the, or around the 12th century BCE, is known as the Bronze Age Collapse, when a lot of these civilizations become a lot more fragmented.
