Societal Collapse

Archaeologists from the University of Copenhagen have excavated a 5,500-year-old site at Murayghat in Jordan, uncovering clues about how Early Bronze Age communities responded to the collapse of the Chalcolithic culture. The findings show a transformation from village life to ritual landscapes featuring dolmens and megalithic structures. This shift likely stemmed from climate change and social upheaval around 3500 BCE.
