From 740 - 752, there were revolts in China (An Lushan), the Turkic Khaganate (northern Steppe area), the Abbasid Revolution in Iran +Mesopotamia, the Berber revolt in Spain and North Africa, the Ibadi revolt in Yemen, and the Third Fitna revolt in the Levant. Were these related?

Ancient Greek Historians explain the Return of the Heracleidae (aka the Dorian Invasion) after the Bronze Age as the reason for the Mycenae collapse. Did the Dorian invasion actually happen and were they related to the Sea Peoples?
