“In 1177 B.C., marauding groups known only as the “Sea Peoples” invaded Egypt. The pharaoh’s army and navy managed to defeat them, but the victory so weakened Egypt that it soon slid into decline, as did most of the surrounding civilizations. After centuries of brilliance, the civilized world of the Bronze Age came to an abrupt and cataclysmic end. Kingdoms fell like dominoes over the course of just a few decades. No more Minoans or Mycenaeans. No more Trojans, Hittites, or Babylonians. The thriving economy and cultures of the late second illennium B.C., which had stretched from Greece to Egypt and Mesopotamia, suddenly ceased to exist, along with writing systems, technology, and monumental architecture. But the Sea Peoples alone could not have caused such widespread breakdown. How did it happen? In this major new account of the causes of this “First Dark Ages,” 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, and the cutting of international trade routes. Bringing to life the vibrant multicultural world of these great civilizations, he draws a sweeping panorama of the empires and globalized peoples of the Late Bronze Age and shows that it was their very interdependence that hastened their dramatic collapse and ushered in a dark age that lasted centuries. A compelling combination of narrative and the latest scholarship, 1177 B.C. sheds new light on the complex ties that gave rise to, and ultimately destroyed, the flourishing civilizations of the Late Bronze Age—and that set the stage for the emergence of classical Greece”— Provided by publisher.
После столетий процветания цивилизованный мир бронзового века пришел к резкому и катастрофическому концу. Царства рухнули подобно домино всего за несколько десятилетий. Не стало более минойцев и микенцев, хеттов и вавилонян. Развитые цивилизации конца II тысячелетия до н.э., которые простирались от Греции до Египта и Месопотамии, внезапно прекратили свое существование. Наступили первые "темные века". Как это произошло? И кто был виновником этого масштабного всеохватывающего коллапса? В своей книге Эрик Клайн, отвечая на эти вопросы, рассказывает нам захватывающую историю о том, как коллапс цивилизаций был вызван многочисленными взаимосвязанными неудачами, начиная от вторжения "народов моря" и восстания до землетрясений, засухи и сокращения международных торговых путей. Воплотив в жизнь яркий мультикультурный мир этих великих царств, он рисует широкую панораму империй и глобализованных народов позднего бронзового века и показывает, что именно их взаимозависимость ускорила их драматический крах.
