Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  E tohu ana i te wā i uru mai ai te ao ā-iwi ki te Wā Pōuri, ā, ka ngaro ētahi o ngā hapori tino whakamiharo o te ao. Inaianei e kī ana tētahi kaituhi hītori kua kitea e ia he aha pea te take i hinga ai a Ihipa Tawhito, ā, i hinga ai ētahi atu iwi o te Tau parahi. E kī ana ia i patua rātau e tētahi 'whatiwhati tino pai' o ngā aitua i 3,200 tau ki muri i mahue ai i ngā Ihipiana Tawhito, i ngā Papurona, i ngā Minoans me ngā Mycenians kāore i taea te aro atu. Ko te Sphinx me nga pyramids i Giza (i runga ake nei) e tohu ana i te kaha o te ahurea o Ihipa onamata i mua i te hinganga. I te mea he honohono te katoa o ēnei iwi nunui, ka pā te hinganga o tētahi ki ētahi atu, e hanga ana i tētahi pānga rite ki te pānga domino, e ai ki te Ahorangi Eric Cline, kaiwhakahaere o te Capitol Archaeological Institute i te Whare Wānanga o George Washington. E kii ana ia he raupapa o te waipuke, te matekai, te huringa o te āhuarangi, nga ruu, nga whakaekenga me nga tutu o roto i waenga i te 1225BC me te 1177 BC i puta tere. Ko te Rangatiratanga Tawhito o Ihipa - i te wa i hangaia ai te nuinga o nga pyramid - i pakaru neke atu i te 4,200 tau ki muri na te mea kaore i taea te urutau ki te rereketanga o te rangi, e ai ki te rangahau. I tirotirohia e ngā kaipūtaiao ngā tauira pollen me te waro o mua mai i te awa o Naera, e 7,000 tau te pakeke, hei whakakotahi i te wā - ā, i kitea he tohu o tētahi 'hūhū nui' i te rohe. I kawea mai e ngā waipuke he ahi, he matekai, he raruraru pāpori ki te rohe. Ko nga purapura pollen i whiwhi mai i te raro o te Moana o Kariri kua whakaratohia ano hoki he taunakitanga rite mo te 150 tau o te waipuke i waenga i te 1250BC me te 1100BC. E kī ana ngā kaipūtaiao i muri i te rangahau, he nui te hekenga o ngā rākau oki, ngā rākau pīni, me ngā rākau karopi - ngā tipu tuku iho o te Mediterranean i te wā o te Late Bronze Age, i te 1250 BCE. Ka nui haere ngā tipu e kitea nuitia ana i ngā rohe koraha, ā, ka heke hoki te tokomaha o ngā oriwa - he tipu tipu nui. I a ia e korero ana ki Haaretz, ka mea ia: 'Ko te tikanga mena ka pa ki tetahi ahurea tetahi o enei aitua, ka ora pea, engari mena ka puta katoa i te wa kotahi, i te wa tere ranei. 'Ki taku whakaaro ko te Late Bronze Age...
E ai ki te kaituhi kōrero o Eric Cline i te Whare Wānanga o George Washington he raupapa kino i waenganui i te 1225BC me te 1177BC i arahi ki te hinganga o nga hapori onamata. E tautohe ana ia nā te mea i whakawhirinaki katoa rātau ki a rātau anō mō te tauhokohoko i hangaia e te hinganga o tētahi hapori he pānga dominō i hua ai te tīmatanga o ngā Wā pouri. Ka kī ia i roto i tana pukapuka 1177BC The Year Civilization Collapsed.
