In scientific works it is called “world war zero”.
A group of Swiss historians have put forward the hypothesis that in the ancient world of the Mediterranean in the late Bronze age occurred “world war zero”, when the nation luvisi who lived in Asia Minor, destroyed the Empire of the Hittites, captured the New Kingdom of Egypt, and unleashed the Trojan war between the strongest powers at that time.
Swiss historians studying the ancient scrolls came to the conclusion that in the times of the ancient world in the Mediterranean broke “world war zero” when the nation of Asia Minor, seized the Hittite Empire, the Hittite narrate the ancient texts. However, this Asian livecam was not enough, and the conquerors went to Egypt, having conquered a New Kingdom. The Egyptians called luvici “people of the sea”.
Further, Asian civilization, greatly expanded his lands, defeated the Mycenaean nationality that ultimately led the Ancient world to the famous Trojan war. Swiss researchers emphasize the presence of a variety of written and archaeological sources, pointing to the numerous wars in the late Bronze age. Most of the major Mediterranean cities were destroyed, as evidenced by ruins found.
However, some scientists do not hurry to agree with the Swiss historians, because it is impossible to reliably trace the extent of participation by “peoples of the sea” in the fall of such a number of ancient worlds. In addition to the “sea peoples” were considered too many small ethnic groups and different tribes, so to determine the conquerors “world war zero” is not possible.
