In Eric Cline's book, 1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed, Cline presents his hypothesis for the cause of the Late Bronze Age collapse. What other credible hypothesis exist to explain the collapse? Is his hypothesis now the widely accepted hypothesis?

There's always more to be said on the topic, but u/UndercoverClassicist wrote about the end of the Bronze Age and the weaknesses of Cline's book in Did people realize they were part of a civilizational collapse during the bronze age collapse?
