Arguably the collapse that mirrors our current situation better than any others.
A complex network of societies spanning (parts of) three continents, with at least 14 interconnected empires and kingdoms, that all went down in a few decades under the pressure of climate change, mass migration, conflict, famine, and drought.
Alfred Tennyson wrote:We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
