  • Barras features Eberhard Zangger's exploration on the collapse of the three civilizations in the Bronze Age. The treasures Zangger uncovered were reams of documents relating to one of the most important events in prehistory: the near-simultaneous collapse of three great Bronze Age civilizations. One text in particular, Zangger says, points to a crucial missing piece of the puzzle, the existence of a previously unknown civilization that Zangger believes played a pivotal role in the downfall of the others. This month, Zangger will publish an analysis of that document. It is a 3200-year-old text telling the story of a warlike king and his conquests around the eastern Mediterranean. Zangger has staked his reputation on the claim that this solves one of archaeology's biggest mysteries. His critics have a different story to tell. They say that Zangger may be the victim of an elaborate hoax.
