My wife was listening to a program on Youtube that was discussing the collapse during the late Bronze Age. I caught part of it when the narrator was discussing a series of large earthquakes in the region (Aegean Sea and Eastern Mediterranean). The narrator also mentioned an 'earthquake sequence', which maybe what some others call a swarm. I think of a swarm as a near term sequence related to the to same geological structure.
An 'earthquake sequence' is a longer term event over 30 to 60 years (not a rigorous number range) in which stresses are not removed by each earthquake. It may also be regional, e.g., on the same fault, or in the same fault system.
I was trying to find the program by search "Fall of the Bronze Age", which is apparently the title of the program, but instead, I found other videos.
I also found this paper by Amos Nur and Eric H. Cline.

I'm still looking for the video I overheard, but I'm interested in other sources.
