How did climate change cause the fall of the civilization of ancient Egypt?

Weather of Arabia - A new study showed that the civilization of ancient Egypt may have fallen partly due to the chaos caused by climate change and volcanoes

The new study, conducted by researchers at Yale University, provides a picture of an ancient civilization torn apart by drought and disasters. They studied the impact of these events that took place in ancient Egypt, and found that they caused pressure on its economy and its ability to fight wars .

The researchers believe that this study changes the well-established understanding of the effects of climate change on ancient societies, as about 70% of the world currently lives in regions that are similarly dependent on the monsoon for their crops and can fall victim to the same problems .

The researchers used a variety of different data, including recent climatology, to explore the impact of massive volcanic eruptions on the flow of the Nile River and reducing the height of the summer floods, which the Egyptians relied on for agriculture . It could lead to drought and famine, which eventually led to numerous unrest and changes in politics and economics .

The researchers believe that the results of the study should be heeded by people around the world who depend on the monsoon for agriculture and who make up about 70% of the population, according to the newspaper "The Independent".
