The article is based on modern cities' civilizations at Ugarit and Mycenae during the Bronze Age period. According to Emar, "a trading outpost in what is now northern Syria sent a desperate letter to his boss, Urtenu." Urtenu lived in Ugarit. He was the one who lived in the Bronze Age. This was the time that myths of "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey," in 3000 B.C.E. to 1200 B.C.E. This was the idea that refers to the investment of the community, "because no matter who is in charge at the top and local businesses are likely to survive," said Ms. Quinn. In this situation, there has a question, "will we face a violent uprising in the wake of economic collapse?" Most people say no. This is perhaps not suffered to the way the Bronze Age kings did in today's 1% of the wake of economic collapse. There has a reason that the "local trade networks are no as robust as the ones that existed in 1000 B.C.E. when merchants from Tyre traded with nearby villages, who then traded villages, who then traded with other neighboring towns" (Newitz, 2020). It was a little bit sad to think about how the Bronze Age case was formed, "in which a few elites bore the brunt of the suffering" (Newitz, 2020). During the Bronze Age period, there had several towns and local traders, which "depend on international supply chains as much as the kings Ugarit did" (Newitz, 2020). Moreover, "our survival still depends on sustainable local networks, and not tax breaks granted by kings" (Newitz, 2020).
