1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed: Revised and Updated by Eric H. Cline

informative medium-paced

5.0

A fascinating read. Honestly, it should be required reading since it provides so much deep context for the world we live in today both in terms of cultural origins and in terms of the parallels between the world of the 14th-10th centuries B.C.E. and the world of the last few hundred years. I think that supplementing with the physical book might have helped me a bit since some of the names blended together a bit, but Cline’s interjections of humor made the book an engaging read if one I had to pay a little more attention to.
