That's a very interesting topic.

We still don't know what actually happened, but the scholars studying it are discovering piece by piece that it was a "perfect storm" and no single event can be assumed as the root cause of the collapse.

The most interesting part of it, for me, is that it was a cascade failure caused by "globalization" of the times.

Maybe if we really understand what happened it can help us prevent a collapse of our current society (assuming it's not already too late)
