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. Now I've already alluded to the fact, and I talk about this in a lot of detail, in the Ancient Egypt video, that the chief rivals of the Hittites were the Egyptians, and vice versa. And it's particularly the case in the 14th and 13th centuries, where both of them were quite powerful empires. You have the Egyptians moving up into this area right over here, modern-day Israel and Lebanon. And you have the Hittites moving down from the north, from Anatolia into modern-day Syria. And there's a whole series of conflicts that emerge in this area. And one of the most famous, and one of the most significant, happens in 1274 BCE.
