lgli/Eric H. Cline [Cline, Eric H.] - From Eden to Exile: Unraveling Mysteries of the Bible (2007, National Geographic).epub
From Eden to Exile: Unraveling Mysteries of the Bible Eric H. Cline [Cline, Eric H.] National Geographic, 2007
Eric H. Cline uses the tools of his trade to examine some of the most puzzling mysteries from the Hebrew Bible and, in the process, to narrate the history of ancient Israel. Combining the academic rigor that has won the respect of his peers with an accessible style that has made him a favorite with readers and students alike, he lays out each mystery, evaluates all available evidence—from established fact to arguable assumption to far-fetched leap of faith—and proposes an explanation that reconciles Scripture, science, and history.Numerous amateur archaeologists have sought some trace of Noah's Ark to meet only with failure. But, though no serious scholar would undertake such a literal search, many agree that the Flood was no myth but the cultural memory of a real, catastrophic inundation, retold and reshaped over countless generations. Likewise, some experts suggest that Joshua's storied victory at Jericho is the distant echo of an earthquake instead of Israel's sacred trumpets—a fascinating, geologically plausible theory that remains unproven despite the best efforts of scientific research.Cline places these and other Biblical stories in solid archaeological and historical context, debunks more than a few lunatic-fringe fantasies, and reserves judgment on ideas that cannot yet be confirmed or denied. Along the way, our most informed understanding of ancient Israel comes alive with dramatic but accurate detail in this groundbreaking, engrossing, entertaining book by one of the rising stars in the field.

lgli/Eric H. Cline [Cline, Eric H.] - 1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed (Turning Points in Ancient History) (2015, Princeton University Press).epub
1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed (Turning Points in Ancient History) Eric H. Cline [Cline, Eric H.] Princeton University Press, Princeton University Press, Princeton, 2014
A bold reassessment of what caused the Late Bronze Age collapseIn 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 millennium 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.

After 1177 B.C.: The Survival of Civilizations (Turning Points in Ancient History Book 12) Eric H. Cline; Princeton University Press, Princeton University Press, Princeton, 2024
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 forever "A landmark book: lucid, deep, and insightful. . . . You cannot understand human civilization and self-organization without studying what happened on, before, and after 1177 B.C."—Nassim Nicholas Taleb, bestselling author of The Black Swan At 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's world 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.

Después de 1177 a.C Eric H. Cline Princeton University Press, Turning Points in Ancient History, 2024
En esta apasionante secuela de su éxito de ventas 1177 a. C., Eric Cline narra lo que sucedió tras el colapso de la Edad del Bronce: por qué algunas civilizaciones perduraron, por qué otras dieron paso a otras nuevas y por qué algunas desaparecieron para siempre.«Un libro trascendental: lúcido, profundo y perspicaz... No se puede comprender la civilización humana y la autoorganización sin estudiar lo que ocurrió en, antes y después del 1177 a. C.». —Nassim Nicholas Taleb, autor superventas de El cisne negroAl final de la aclamada historia 1177 a. C., muchas de las civilizaciones de la Edad del Bronce Tardía del Egeo y el Mediterráneo oriental yacían en ruinas, destruidas por invasiones, revueltas, desastres naturales, hambrunas y la desaparición del comercio internacional. Un mundo interconectado que había presumido de grandes imperios y sociedades, una paz relativa, un comercio robusto y una arquitectura monumental se había perdido y había comenzado la llamada Primera Edad Oscura. Ahora, en Después de 1177 a. C., Eric Cline cuenta la apasionante historia de lo que sucedió a continuación, a lo largo de cuatro siglos, en el mundo del Egeo y el Mediterráneo oriental. Es una historia de resiliencia, transformación y éxito, pero también de fracasos, en una época de caos y reconfiguración.Después del 1177 a. C. narra cómo el colapso de las poderosas civilizaciones de la Edad del Bronce Tardía creó nuevas circunstancias a las que las personas y las sociedades tuvieron que adaptarse. Las que no lograron adaptarse desaparecieron de la escena mundial, mientras que otras se transformaron, dando lugar a un nuevo orden mundial que incluía a los fenicios, los filisteos, los israelitas, los neohititas, los neoasirios y los neobabilonios. Llevando la historia hasta el resurgimiento de Grecia, marcado por los primeros Juegos Olímpicos en el 776 a. C., el libro también describe cómo surgieron en medio del caos innovaciones que cambiaron el mundo, como el uso del hierro y el alfabeto.Repleto de lecciones para el mundo actual sobre por qué algunas sociedades sobreviven a conmociones masivas mientras que otras no, Después del 1177 a. C. revela por qué este periodo, lejos de ser la primera Edad Oscura, fue una nueva era con nuevos inventos y nuevas oportunidades.

The Oxford handbook of the Bronze Age Aegean (ca. 3000 - 1000 BC) edited by Eric H. Cline IRL Press at Oxford University Press, Oxford Handbooks, 2012
This The Oxford Handbook of the Bronze Age Aegean provides a detailed survey of the Greek Bronze Age, roughly 3000 to 1000 bc. This period witnessed the flourishing of the Minoan and Mycenean civilizations, the earliest expansion of trade in the Aegean and wider Mediterranean Sea, the development of artistic techniques, the evolution of early Greek religious practices and mythology, and violent conflict in Asia Minor. The first section of the book establishes the discipline in its historical, geographical, and chronological settings and in its relation to other disciplines. The second section examines the Bronze Age Aegean by chronological period. Each of the periods are further subdivided geographically, so that individual articles are concerned with Mainland Greece during the Early Bronze Age, Crete during the Early Bronze Age, the Cycladic Islands during the Early Bronze Age, and the same for the Middle Bronze Age, followed by the Late Bronze Age. The third section examines thematic topics, including religion, state and society, trade, warfare, pottery, writing, and burial customs, as well as specific events, such as the eruption of Santorini and the Trojan War. The fourth section contains articles examining the most important regions and sites in the Bronze Age Aegean, including Mycenae, Tiryns, Pylos, Knossos, Kommos, Rhodes, the northern Aegean, and the Uluburun shipwreck, as well as adjacent areas such as the Levant, Egypt, and the western Mediterranean.

lgli/Eric H. Cline - Digging Up Armageddon (2019, ).epub
Digging Up Armageddon : The Search for the Lost City of Solomon Eric H. Cline Princeton University Press, 2019
A vivid portrait of the early years of biblical archaeology from the acclaimed author of 1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed In 1925, James Henry Breasted, famed Egyptologist and director of the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago, sent a team of archaeologists to the Holy Land to excavate the ancient site of Megiddo--Armageddon in the New Testament--which the Bible says was fortified by King Solomon. Their excavations made headlines around the world and shed light on one of the most legendary cities of biblical times, yet little has been written about what happened behind the scenes. Digging Up Armageddon brings to life one of the most important archaeological expeditions ever undertaken, describing the site and what was found there, including discoveries of gold and ivory, and providing an up-close look at the internal workings of a dig in the early years of biblical archaeology. The Chicago team left behind a trove of writings and correspondence spanning more than three decades, from letters and cablegrams to cards, notes, and diaries. Eric Cline draws on these materials to paint a compelling portrait of a bygone age of archaeology. He masterfully sets the expedition against the backdrop of the Great Depression in America and the growing troubles and tensions in British Mandate Palestine. He gives readers an insider's perspective on the debates over what was uncovered at Megiddo, the infighting that roiled the expedition, and the stunning discoveries that transformed our understanding of the ancient world. Digging Up Armageddon is the enthralling story of an archaeological site in the interwar years and its remarkable place at the crossroads of history.

Biblical Archaeology: A Very Introduction (Very Short Introductions) Eric H. Cline Oxford University Press, Oxford University Press, Oxford University Press USA, Oxford, 2009
Public interest in biblical archaeology is at an all-time high, as television documentaries pull in millions of viewers to watch shows on the Exodus, the Ark of the Covenant, and the so-called Lost Tomb of Jesus. Important discoveries with relevance to the Bible are made virtually every year--during 2007 and 2008 alone researchers announced at least seven major discoveries in Israel, five of them in or near Jerusalem. Biblical Archaeology offers a passport into this fascinating realm, where ancient religion and modern science meet, and where tomorrow's discovery may answer a riddle that has lasted a thousand years. Archaeologist Eric H. Cline here offers a complete overview of this exciting field. He discusses the early pioneers, such as Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie and William Foxwell Albright, the origins of biblical archaeology as a discipline, and the major controversies that first prompted explorers to go in search of objects and sites that would'prove'the Bible. He then surveys some of the most well-known biblical archaeologists, including Kathleen Kenyon and Yigael Yadin, the sites that are essential sources of knowledge for biblical archaeology, such as Hazor, Megiddo, Gezer, Lachish, Masada, and Jerusalem, and some of the most important discoveries that have been made, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Mesha Inscription, and the Tel Dan Stele. Subsequent chapters examine additional archaeological finds that shed further light on the Hebrew Bible and New Testament, the issue of potential frauds and forgeries, including the James Ossuary and the Jehoash Tablet, and future prospects of the field. Biblical Archaeology: A Very Short Introduction captures the sense of excitement and importance that surrounds not only the past history of the field but also the present and the future, with fascinating new discoveries made each and every season. About the Series: Combining authority with wit, accessibility, and style, Very Short Introductions offer an introduction to some of life's most interesting topics. Written by experts for the newcomer, they demonstrate the finest contemporary thinking about the central problems and issues in hundreds of key topics, from philosophy to Freud, quantum theory to Islam.

Biblical Archaeology: A Very Introduction (Very Short Introductions) Eric H. Cline Oxford University Press, Oxford University Press, Very short introductions, 217, Oxford ; New York Oxford ; New York, ©2009
Public interest in biblical archaeology is at an all-time high, as television documentaries pull in millions of viewers to watch shows on the Exodus, the Ark of the Covenant, and the so-called Lost Tomb of Jesus. Important discoveries with relevance to the Bible are made virtually every year--during 2007 and 2008 alone researchers announced at least seven major discoveries in Israel, five of them in or near Jerusalem. Biblical Archaeology offers a passport into this fascinating realm, where ancient religion and modern science meet, and where tomorrow's discovery may answer a riddle that has lasted a thousand years. Archaeologist Eric H. Cline here offers a complete overview of this exciting field. He discusses the early pioneers, such as Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie and William Foxwell Albright, the origins of biblical archaeology as a discipline, and the major controversies that first prompted explorers to go in search of objects and sites that would "prove" the Bible. He then surveys some of the most well-known biblical archaeologists, including Kathleen Kenyon and Yigael Yadin, the sites that are essential sources of knowledge for biblical archaeology, such as Hazor, Megiddo, Gezer, Lachish, Masada, and Jerusalem, and some of the most important discoveries that have been made, including the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Mesha Inscription, and the Tel Dan Stele. Subsequent chapters examine additional archaeological finds that shed further light on the Hebrew Bible and New Testament, the issue of potential frauds and forgeries, including the James Ossuary and the Jehoash Tablet, and future prospects of the field.

The Trojan War: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) Eric H. Cline Oxford University Press Inc; Oxford University Press, Very short introductions, 356, New York, ©2013
The Iliad, Homer's epic tale of the abduction of Helen and the decade-long Trojan War, has fascinated mankind for millennia. Even today, the war inspires countless articles and books, extensive archaeological excavations, movies, television documentaries, even souvenirs and collectibles. But while the ancients themselves believed that the Trojan War took place, scholars of the modern era have sometimes derided it as a piece of fiction. Combining archaeological data and textual analysis of ancient documents, this Very Short Introduction considers whether or not the war actually took place and whether archaeologists have really discovered the site of ancient Troy. To answer these questions, archaeologist and ancient historian Eric H. Cline examines various written sources, including the works of Homer, the Epic Cycle (fragments from other, now-lost Greek epics), classical plays, and Virgil's Aeneid. Throughout, the author tests the literary claims against the...ISBN : 9780199760275

The Oxford Handbook of the Bronze Age Aegean (Oxford Handbooks) Eric H. Cline Oxford University Press, USA, Oxford handbooks in archaeology, Oxford University Press pbk. [ed, Oxford, 2012
"The Greek Bronze Age, roughly 3000 to 1000 BCE, witnessed the flourishing of the Minoan and Mycenean civilizations, the earliest expansion of trade in the Aegean and wider Mediterranean Sea, the development of artistic techniques in a variety of media, and the evolution of early Greek religious practices and mythology. The period also witnessed a violent conflict in Asia Minor between warring peoples in the region, a conflict commonly believed to be the historical basis for Homer's Trojan War. The Oxford Handbook of the Bronze Age Aegean provides a detailed survey of these fascinating aspects of the period, and many others, in sixty-six newly commissioned articles. Divided into four sections, the handbook begins with Background and Definitions, which contains articles establishing the discipline in its historical, geographical, and chronological settings and in its relation to other disciplines. The second section, Chronology and Geography, contains articles examining the Bronze Age Aegean by chronological period (Early Bronze Age, Middle Bronze Age, Late Bronze Age). Each of the periods are further subdivided geographically, so that individual articles are concerned with Mainland Greece during the Early Bronze Age, Crete during the Early Bronze Age, the Cycladic Islands during the Early Bronze Age, and the same for the Middle Bronze Age, followed by the Late Bronze Age. The third section, Thematic and Specific Topics, includes articles examining thematic topics that cannot be done justice in a strictly chronological/geographical treatment, including religion, state and society, trade, warfare, pottery, writing, and burial customs, as well as specific events, such as the eruption of Santorini and the Trojan War. The fourth section, Specific Sites and Areas, contains articles examining the most important regions and sites in the Bronze Age Aegean, including Mycenae, Tiryns, Pylos, Knossos, Kommos, Rhodes, the northern Aegean, and the Uluburun shipwreck, as well as adjacent areas such as the Levant, Egypt, and the western Mediterranean. Containing new work by an international team of experts, The Oxford Handbook of the Bronze Age Aegean represents the most comprehensive, authoritative, and up-to-date single-volume survey of the field. It will be indispensable for scholars and advanced students alike."--Publisher's website

Digging Up Armageddon : The Search for the Lost City of Solomon Eric H. Cline Princeton University Press, illustrated, 2020
The first full-length history of the search for the city built by King Solomon at the ancient city of Megiddo, the site of biblical Armageddon. **A vivid portrait of the early years of biblical archaeology from the acclaimed author of __1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed__** In 1925, James Henry Breasted, famed Egyptologist and director of the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago, sent a team of archaeologists to the Holy Land to excavate the ancient site of Megiddo—Armageddon in the New Testament—which the Bible says was fortified by King Solomon. Their excavations made headlines around the world and shed light on one of the most legendary cities of biblical times, yet little has been written about what happened behind the scenes. __Digging Up Armageddon__ brings to life one of the most important archaeological expeditions ever undertaken, describing the site and what was found there, including discoveries of gold and ivory, and providing an up-close look at the internal workings of a dig in the early years of biblical archaeology. The Chicago team left behind a trove of writings and correspondence going back more than three decades, from letters and cablegrams to cards, notes, and diaries. Eric Cline draws on these materials to paint a compelling portrait of a bygone age of archaeology. Cline masterfully sets the expedition against the backdrop of the Great Depression in America and the growing troubles and tensions in British Mandate Palestine. He gives readers an insider's perspective on the debates over what was uncovered at Megiddo, the infighting that roiled the expedition, and the stunning discoveries that transformed our understanding of the ancient world. __Digging Up Armageddon__ is the enthralling story of an archaeological site in the interwar years and its remarkable place at the crossroads of history.

From Eden to Exile : Unraveling Mysteries of the Bible by Eric H. Cline National Geographic ; Publishers Group UK [distributor, Penguin Random House LLC (Publisher Services), Washington, D.C., 2007
<p>Eric H. Cline uses the tools of his trade to examine some of the most puzzling mysteries from the Hebrew Bible and, in the process, to narrate the history of ancient Israel. Combining the academic rigor that has won the respect of his peers with an accessible style that has made him a favorite with readers and students alike, he lays out each mystery, evaluates all available evidence—from established fact to arguable assumption to far-fetched leap of faith—and proposes an explanation that reconciles Scripture, science, and history.</p> <p>Numerous amateur archaeologists have sought some trace of Noah's Ark to meet only with failure. But, though no serious scholar would undertake such a literal search, many agree that the Flood was no myth but the cultural memory of a real, catastrophic inundation, retold and reshaped over countless generations. Likewise, some experts suggest that Joshua's storied victory at Jericho is the distant echo of an earthquake instead of Israel's sacred trumpets—a fascinating, geologically plausible theory that remains unproven despite the best efforts of scientific research.</p> <p>Cline places these and other Biblical stories in solid archaeological and historical context, debunks more than a few lunatic-fringe fantasies, and reserves judgment on ideas that cannot yet be confirmed or denied. Along the way, our most informed understanding of ancient Israel comes alive with dramatic but accurate detail in this groundbreaking, engrossing, entertaining book by one of the rising stars in the field.</p>

Dall’Iliade di Omero, la guerra di Troia ha da sempre affascinato l’umanità. Ma dove finisce il mito e dove comincia la storia? Questo libro investiga due questioni di base: la guerra di Troia ha avuto luogo e, se sì, dove? Cline parte dalle testimonianze, letterarie e archeologiche, per ricostruire il panorama di un conflitto causato non tanto dal rapimento della donna più bella del mondo, ma da motivi economici o politici ben più stringenti. Una vicenda che spazia da Oriente a Occidente: se ne parla già in una saga ittita, con versioni successive, alternative o a continuazione, fino all’Eneide di Virgilio. E attraverso gli scavi a Hissarlik in Turchia i suoi connotati si fanno sempre più concreti.

det 1177 avant J.-C. Eric H. Cline [Cline, Eric H.] Editions La Découverte, La Découverte-poche, Sciences humaines et sociales, Paris, DL 2016
Un réchauffement climatique suivi de sécheresse et de famines, des séismes, des guerres civiles catastrophiques, de gigantesques mouvements de populations fuyant leurs terres d’origine, des risques systémiques pour les échanges internationaux... Nous ne sommes pas en 2015, mais bien au XIIe siècle avant J.-C. ! Toutes les civilisations de la Méditerranée grecque et orientale (de la Crète à l’Égypte, de Canaan à Babylone, etc.) se sont en effet effondrées presque simultanément, il y a plus de trois mille ans. Des régions entières ont été désertées, des villes détruites et définitivement vidées de leurs habitants. L’Égypte ne sera plus que l’ombre d’elle-même. Comment un ensemble de civilisations florissantes a-t-il pu disparaître aussi brutalement ? Le grand archéologue américain Eric H. Cline mène l’enquête et nous raconte la fin de l’âge du bronze sous la forme d’un drame en quatre actes. Il fait revivre sous nos yeux ces sociétés connectées qui possédaient une langue commune, échangeaient de multiples biens (grains, or, étain et cuivre, etc.), alors que les artistes circulaient d’un royaume à l’autre. Les archives découvertes témoignent de mariages royaux, d’alliances, de guerres et même d’embargos. En somme, une « mondialisation » avant l’heure, confrontée notamment à des aléas climatiques qui pourraient avoir causé sa perte... Une passionnante plongée dans le passé qui nous oblige à réfléchir.

Introduction à l'archéologie biblique Cline, Eric H. Albin Michel, 2016
On peut difficilement imaginer terrain plus miné que celui de l’archéologie biblique. Sur tous les plans – théologique, historique, politique, diplomatique – elle soulève les débats les plus passionnés quant aux origines de la civilisation monothéiste, entre le mythe et l’histoire. Le petit livre du professeur Cline, l’un des plus éminents spécialistes contemporains de la discipline, permet de faire le point sur les enjeux de celle-ci. Il retrace d’abord une salutaire histoire des fouilles et des interprétations, depuis les premières excavations menées, bible en main, par des théologiens protestants jusqu’aux méthodologies actuelles, en passant par l’épineuse question des nationalismes proche-orientaux et les relations équivoques de l’archéologie avec le champ de la critique biblique. Il fait ensuite le point sur l’état actuel de notre savoir, depuis l’époque du Déluge jusqu’à celle de Jésus. Ce livre constitue un vade-mecum indispensable à quiconque s’intéresse à l’histoire de notre culture.

1177 a. C. El año en que la civilización se derrumbó Eric H. Cline [Cline, Eric H.] ePubLibre, 2013
En el año 1177 antes de Cristo unos merodeadores de origen desconocido, los llamados “pueblos del mar”, llegaron a Egipto, tras causar destrucción y muerte por donde pasaban. Esto sucedía en el inicio de una época de colapso en que desaparecieron las grandes civilizaciones de la Edad del Bronce —egipcios, hititas, micénicos, troyanos, asirios...— en lo que Finkelnstein describe como “uno de los más misteriosos procesos de la historia de la humanidad”. ¿Cuál fue la causa de este cataclismo? Eric H. Cline, de la Universidad George Washington, un arqueólogo que ha investigado este tema durante más de veinte años, responde que el fracaso se debió a une serie de causas conectadas entre sí: invasiones, revueltas, terremotos, y, sobre todo, la ruptura de un sistema de relaciones en un mundo que había alcanzado un notable grado de globalización. Algo que nos recuerda los riesgos que amenazan hoy a nuestro propio mundo. Cline pone al alcance del lector medio los más recientes hallazgos de la investigación en un relato realmente apasionante.

1177 a. C. Il collasso della civiltà Eric H. Cline Bollati Boringhieri Editore srl a socio unico, Saggi. Storia, filosofia e scienze sociali, Torino, 2014
Vennero dal mare. Sappiamo il loro nome e poco altro: li chiamiamo "Popoli del Mare" e al loro arrivo caddero regni millenari e l'intera Civiltà del Bronzo collassò repentinamente. Dopo, seguirono solo lunghi secoli bui. L'Età del Bronzo era stata un'epoca di fiorenti commerci, di evoluzione tecnica e culturale, di rapporti diplomatici internazionali, di sottili equilibri politici. A lungo si è pensato che il mondo di tremila anni fa fosse un luogo primitivo, con un'economia ridotta su breve scala, ma gli ultimi decenni di scavi archeologici hanno invece portato alla luce un mondo incredibilmente organizzato e vasto, sorprendentemente simile al nostro, tanto da poterlo definire "globalizzato". Il quadro archeologico ci restituisce un'organizzazione solida e funzionale, che sembrava intramontabile, come la nostra, ma che cadde di schianto. Lo stagno, necessario per ottenere il bronzo delle armi e degli utensili, proveniva dall'Afghanistan, il rame da Cipro: come il petrolio di oggi, erano le merci più ambite, e sul loro commercio era fiorita un'intesa internazionale che coinvolgeva tutti i grandi imperi del Mediterraneo e della Mezzaluna fertile. I nomi dei regni antichi evocano avvenimenti lontani - Egizi, Ittiti, Assiri, Babilonesi, Mitanni, Minoici, Micenei, Amorrei, Ugariti, Cretesi, Ciprioti, Cananei -, ma le loro vicende sono così "moderne" che la loro storia suona ormai come un monito rivolto al nostro mondo.

Caduto il primo anello, caddero tutti gli altri, in pochi anni. Fu solo a causa dei misteriosi Popoli del Mare? A raccontarci questa storia è Eric Cline, uno dei protagonisti degli scavi archeologici dell’Età del Bronzo. Il suo racconto ha una trama narrativa irresistibile, come un giallo dell’antichità, con racconti in presa diretta e flashback che rendono viva e palpabile una vicenda così antica, eppure terribilmente vicina alla nostra. **
