A highschool physics book translated in ancient Greek/linear B to mass copy and distribute to everyone. Maybe it'll give the advantage to stop the Bronze Age Collapse.

@JeffKerman1999 bring some plans for the printing press and some plans to mass produce paper too. Back in the ancient times one sheet of paper was about $30 in todays money. A whole book would be the equivalant of tens of thousands of dollars.

I think hygiene and modern concepts of medicine and transmittable diseases would more likely prevent that collapse
