Über diesen Titel
This audiobook narrated by acclaimed archaeologist and best-selling author Eric Cline offers a breathtaking account of how the collapse of an ancient civilized world ushered in the first Dark Ages.
In 1177 BC, marauding groups known only as the "Sea Peoples" invaded Egypt. The pharaoh's army and navy defeated them, but the victory so weakened Egypt that it soon slid into decline, as did most of the surrounding civilizations. Eric Cline tells the gripping story of how the end was brought about by multiple interconnected failures, ranging from invasion and revolt to earthquakes, drought, famine, and the cutting of international trade routes. Bringing to life a vibrant multicultural world, he draws a sweeping panorama of the empires of the age and shows that it may have been their very interdependence that hastened their dramatic collapse. Now revised and updated, 1177 B.C. sheds light on the complex ties that gave rise to, and eventually destroyed, the flourishing civilizations of the Late Bronze Age - and set the stage for the emergence of classical Greece and, ultimately, our world today.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Kritikerstimmen
"The memorable thing about Cline's book is the strangely recognizable picture he paints of this very faraway time.... It was as globalized and cosmopolitan a time as any on record, albeit within a much smaller cosmos. The degree of interpenetration and of cultural sharing is astonishing." (Adam Gopnik, New Yorker)
"Engaging.... [An] absorbing tour of the Late Bronze Age." (Josephine Quinn, London Review of Books)
"A fascinating look at the Late Bronze Age, proving that whether for culture, war, economic fluctuations or grappling with technological advancement, the conundrums we face are never new, but merely renewed for a modern age." (Larry Getlen, New York Post)
A comprehensive introduction to the societies and their development in the Late Bronze Age

A definitive improvement over the first printed edition that I had read with great interest and pleasure. Without this previous knowledge, however, I should have been hard put to to identify some persons and place names, not being a native speaker of American English.
In my opinion, recent developments in American and world politics prove the author right - we are right in the middle of a similar melt-down of our present globalized system. If anything were to be added to the list of destabilizing factors, mention might be made of the capability of political leaders and population groups to create and implement ultimately self-destructive ideologies.
Well argued, well read. scientifically valid
