Since the first presentation 2016, much new relevant data has become available, resulting in a revised version of the original book being published in 2021 and a sequel, entitled "After 1177 BC," appearing in 2024. This illustrated talk will update the original lecture, presenting a streamlined version of what we now know, or think we know, about the Late Bronze Age Collapse, its aftermath, and its potential relevance to our world today.
Professor Eric Cline’s primary fields of study are biblical archaeology, the military history of the Mediterranean world from antiquity to present, and the international connections between Greece, Egypt, and the Near East during the Late Bronze Age (1700-1100 BCE). He is an experienced and active field archaeologist, with more than 30 seasons of excavation and survey to his credit since 1980 in Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Cyprus, Greece, Crete, and the United States. An award-winning teacher and author of the best-selling "1177 BC: The Year Civilization Collapsed" (Princeton 2014; revised edition 2021), he is a National Geographic Explorer, a two-time Fulbright scholar, an NEH Public Scholar, and a Getty Scholar.
