Around 4000 years ago the advanced urban civilizations in Egypt,
Mesopotamia and India suddenly collapsed. What happened? Did a
prolonged drought cause the breakdown of social order? Recent
discoveries from all over the world strongly support the suspected
link of the collapse with climate. The volume presents the findings
of more than 40 researchers and provides a review on the relevant
information. It appears that a major shift of the precipitation
pattern affected many parts of the world at approximately the same
time, with disastrous effects on the nomadic populations of Asia,
Africa and Eastern Europe. Can a similar climate shift with a
serious adverse impact on society happen again? In a world facing
global warming, there could be many lessons to be learned from the
experiences of ancient societies.
