He will give us an overview of the history of the collapse and share his personal opinions on the subject! By guiding us briefly through the archaeology, trade, national politics and contacts in the ancient Mediterranean, we will get a beautiful picture of the Bronze Age and how it all collapsed in a perfect storm of events. But what's even more impressive is that he even gives us a glimpse of why he wrote 1177 BC? And how he did it!
But at the end of this episode we come to our modern world and Dr. Cline explains why the Bronze Age Collapse is important today? What should we look at when we compare it to our modern world and the current events and impacts affecting our world?
Did the people who experienced the Bronze Age Collapse know they were living in a collapse? And it asks a delicate and intense question: If civilization collapsed today, would we know?
