1177 BC: The Year Civilization Collapsed (Eric Cline, PhD)
National Capital Area Skeptics (NCAS)
Archaeologist Eric Cline lectures on the Late Bronze Age collapse around 1177 BC, when interconnected Mediterranean empires fell in rapid succession. He discusses the Sea Peoples and the combined causes of the collapse.
Recommended as an informative and funny hour that serves as a good substitute for his book.
