The Bronze Age Collapse, as this period is known, saw the New Kingdom of Egypt, the Hittite Empire of Anatolia (Turkey) and the Mycenaean Greek kingdoms all succumb to some great disaster. The reasons remain obscure; causes have been suggested ranging from drought and natural disasters such as earthquakes and volcanoes to invasions by foreigners.

"Celts" comes from Greek "Keltoi", which, like the Roman name for them, also means "barbarians".

It is known that during the period of the Bronze Age Collapse (1200–1150 BCE), most of the cities on the eastern Mediterranean coasts were sacked and they were often destroyed. Fragmentary accounts refer to raids by the ‘Sea Peoples’, whose identity is unknown.
