This graphic history depicts the people, events, art, architecture, and lands that Pel and Shesha encounter. We witness the Sea Peoples' battles on land and sea, earthquakes on the Greek mainland, droughts and famine in Anatolia, invasions in north Syria, and possible rebellions in Canaan. Along the way, we also learn about the assassination of a Hittite prince traveling to marry an Egyptian queen, the sinking of a merchant ship laden with international goods, and the return of a pair of sandals to Crete by the Babylonian king Hammurabi.An entertaining adventure story, this dazzling comic is also historically accurate and enlightening, inviting readers of all ages to think about the surprising factors and theories that explain why societies, whether ancient or modern, die or survive when struck by catastrophes"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Bronze age $z Mediterranean Region $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Sea Peoples $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Graphic novels. 651 0 $a Mediterranean Region $x Civilization $v Comic books, strips, etc. 651 0 $a Mediterranean Region $x History $y To 476 $v Comic books, strips, etc. 700 1 $a Fawkes, Glynnis, $e author, illustrator. 941 $a 1 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240502012115.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D98CA37A084B11EFBCAD05DA2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
