Today, we are thrilled to have Dr. Eric Cline, an award-winning archaeologist, historian, and professor of ancient history, joining us to unravel the dramatic collapse of civilization in 1177 B.C. Dr. Cline’s expertise in the Late Bronze Age, along with his best-selling book 1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed, makes him an exceptional guest as we explore the downfall of some of history’s greatest empires.

In this episode, we delve into Dr. Cline’s journey into archaeology and history, with a focus on the theories surrounding many civilization collapses, examining factors such as climate change, natural disasters, economic instability, internal rebellions, and the enigmatic Sea Peoples who ravaged the Mediterranean. Dr. Cline unpacks the evidence, from ancient texts to archaeological discoveries, that sheds light on how a once-flourishing globalized world fell apart.

Drawing parallels to today, we discuss whether modern civilization could face a similar fate. Are the same warning signs present in our own interconnected world? 

Join us for a gripping discussion filled with expert insights, ancient mysteries, and thought-provoking questions about the rise and fall of civilizations with the remarkable Dr. Eric Cline.
