End of a dark age. 520 $a "In this gripping sequel to his bestselling 1177 B.C., Eric Cline tells the story of what happened after the Bronze Age collapsed-why some civilizations endured, why some gave way to new ones, and why some disappeared foreverAt the end of the acclaimed history 1177 B.C., many of the Late Bronze Age civilizations of the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean lay in ruins, undone by invasion, revolt, natural disasters, famine, and the demise of international trade. An interconnected world that had boasted major empires and societies, relative peace, robust commerce, and monumental architecture was lost and the so-called First Dark Age had begun. Now, in After 1177 B.C., Eric Cline tells the compelling story of what happened next, over four centuries, across the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean world. It is a story of resilience, transformation, and success, as well as failures, in an age of chaos and reconfiguration.After 1177 B.C. tells how the collapse of powerful Late Bronze Age civilizations created new circumstances to which people and societies had to adapt. Those that failed to adjust disappeared from the world stage, while others transformed themselves, resulting in a new world order that included Phoenicians, Philistines, Israelites, Neo-Hittites, Neo-Assyrians, and Neo-Babylonians. Taking the story up to the resurgence of Greece marked by the first Olympic Games in 776 B.C., the book also describes how world-changing innovations such as the use of iron and the alphabet emerged amid the chaos. Filled with lessons for today about why some societies survive massive shocks while others do not, After 1177 B.C. reveals why this period, far from being the First Dark Age, was a new age with new inventions and new opportunities"-- $c Provided by publisher. 520 $a "In a follow-up to 1177 BC, this book provides a portrait of the 400 years following the collapse of the Bronze Age, a period referred to as the First Dark Age, but which Cline will show was also an era of rebirth and resilience"-- $c Provided by publisher. 830 0 $a Turning points in ancient history. 941 $a 9 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240725010739.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240702031832.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240702030005.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20240525011227.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20240524011002.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20240504010314.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240502012115.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20240502011134.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240502010446.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=501D03FC084911EFAA6956CE2DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
