While everyone else was collapsing, Tyre and Sidon said 'we're gonna run the Mediterranean' and just did that
The Phoenicians were lowkey the biggest winners of the Bronze Age Collapse. With the Hittites gone and Egypt weakened, Phoenician city-states like Tyre, Sidon, and Byblos filled the power vacuum through maritime trade. They shipped cedar, purple dye (the original luxury brand), and glass across the Mediterranean. They'd eventually plant colonies as far as Carthage and Spain. Peak entrepreneurial energy.
