This is a question that's preoccupied me for a long while. While observing the progress of megalithic civilisations there seems to be a pivotal date in the ancient world. Round 2,200 BC Egypt got dry and its peoples had to start eating their dead as famine spread. The reason seems to be a natural climatic disaster. There is evidence around this date of major changes in Eurasia. The Neolithic had taken hold of most places and the tribes from Asia, the Indoeuropeans, began to arrive in pre-European Megalithic Europe. The beginning of the Bronze Age is regarded to have taken place around 2,200 and 1,800 BC in the UK so could there be a connection with the climate? Many Neolithic practices like Long Barrows and graves ceased to be used, while the new tribes took over and brought new practices while they kept others.
