Ancient Armageddon (2023 TV Special) User Reviews

Waste of time

[Maja_2004 · 3/10 · 9 July 2023]

I was surprised it came out in 2023. I felt I was watching a 10-15 years old documentary. The computer graphics were really bad.

But the biggest problem was that since they haven't found any new evidence lately they can't say anything new.

Just theories and theories and theories.

They have no clue who were the sea people, have no clue why those empires collapsed, they have no clue of anything!!

Could've been this. Or could've been that. Oooor could've been the two together.

Just the usual "documentary" which doesn't answer any questions!!

WHY?! What's the reason to produce these kind of empty contents?!

Smarter than I was Expecting

The title had me thinking it would be more sensationalized sound effects and such. Ended up being a lot more geology and cited ancient texts.

Highly plausible a long draught caused unrest in the region, especially with the despotism of the time. Then a nasty earthquake sparks waves of refugees and invaders.

Which of course destroys waterways and sewage in an already malnourished population. Inevitably leading to outbreaks of numerous diseases, even the royal families dying of small pox and the like.

Not too different from the current situation in several countries today. Just shake the jar a little and you too can be a forgotten civilization!
