10 Civilizations Wiped Out By Nature

The video explores ten ancient civilizations that were destroyed by natural disasters. From the fiery end of Tell Es-Sa'idiyeh to the underwater discovery of Thonis-Heracleion, each section delves into the catastrophic events that led to the downfall of these societies. Theories about ancient Antarctica's asteroid impact, the Indus Valley's climate change, and the Moche's extreme weather struggles are discussed. The video also covers the over-farming collapse of Aksum, the earthquake and tsunami that destroyed Helike, the mild weather that led to the Mayans' decline, the sinkhole that swallowed Ubar, and the triple disaster that led to Santorini's fall.
