When climate brought down the pharaons

More than 3,000 years ago, Egypt was a great power. But a terrible water shortage changed everything, threatening the kingdom of the pharaohs…

Ancient Egypt thrived thanks to the Nile’s floods, but between 1200 and 1000 BCE, severe droughts disrupted this balance. With less water, crops failed, leading to famine and uprisings. The pharaohs’ power weakened, making the empire vulnerable to invasions.

Researchers have found, through Nile sediments and ancient writings, that these climate changes contributed to the collapse of the New Kingdom. History teaches us a valuable lesson: civilizations must adapt to climate challenges to survive!
