    Hi mate,

    Many " Classical Civilisations " collapsed around that time.

    Minoan

    Harrapan

    Builders of Stonehenge

    Japanese Jomon

    Plus many more, Interestingly enough, this is where most evidence of Flood Theories date from.

    Are you talking about 3200-3100BC or are you talking about 3200-3100 years ago. Just wondering because not an awful lot is known about ~3000BC and certainly it would be very hard to give specific info about a century 3200bc-3100bc. For a quick overview check out the first few episodes of http://ancientworldpodcast.blogspot.ie

    HOWEVER if you are actially looking for 3200-3100 years ago then you fall into the period of the Bronze Age collapse. Thats a bit of a coincidence. Is this a question for a history assignment over Christmas and is it possible that you wrote the question down incorrectly and it is 3200-3100 years ago?

    its regards to 3102Bc around that period you see ive become very interested in the correlation of mayan and vedic cosmology.The begging date of of the currnet yuga the Kali yuga is believed to 3102BC and it consists of 432,000 years.roughly 5115 years from that date is 2013 when a 10,000 year long golden age is to have began.want to look at the similarites between our current societal collapse and the the beggining of the kali yuga itself.

    I have this theory ive built upon nietzches etrenal return and Aleister Crowlys Aeons with Descartes mind body problem as a means to illustrate i just want some clarification on the that period.

    The Golden age was to have started 5,000 years after the beginning of Kali-Yuga, which would be around the turn of the 20th century. Please enlighten us as to what difference the collapse of societies in 3120 BC would have made ?

    As far as I'm aware,several civilisations flourished around this period too(mid to late 4th. Millennium B.C.),namely in Mesopotamia(the Sumerians),Anatolia and Egypt.

    Frankly,I can't see how any rational mind can take seriously the pseudo-supernatural,occultist nonsense of Aleister Crowley in this day and age!

    The following are extracts(pp.111-112) from George Roux's seminal publication 'Ancient Iraq':

    There would not appear to be any definitive evidence in the archaeological records at least,of civilisation meltdowns in this region of Southern Mesopotamia at or around 3100 B.C.The Ubaid period at Ur ended circa 3800 B.C.,so the excavations carried out by Woolley(outlined in the extracts above) suggest that there may have been an inundation or deluge of flood waters from the Euphrates between two occupation layers in this period,but long before 3100 B.C.The evidence unearthed at Shuruppak and in later horizons at Ur suggest evidence of flooding post-2900 B.C.
