The Collapse of Civilization: the Mediterranean World in 1177 Bc
About This Novel
The Greek economy collapsed, civil strife broke out in Libya, Syria and Egypt, and foreigners and foreign fighters added fuel to the fire. Turkey was afraid of being involved in this crisis, as was Israel. Jordan was crowded with refugees, Iran was sharpening its knives, and Iraq was in turmoil... Is this the international situation in the 21st century? That's right. But this is also what the Mediterranean world experienced more than 3,000 years ago, around 1177 BC. In 1177 BC, barbarians known as the "Sea Peoples" invaded Egypt in large numbers. The Pharaoh gathered an army to repel it, but Egypt's national power also plummeted from then on, leading to decline. Not only ancient Egypt, but also Greece, Hittite, Assyria, Babylonia... Those great kingdoms and city-states that dominated the world were like a string of pearls surrounding the ancient Mediterranean. They ruled the vast land from Greece and Italy in the west to the Tigris River in the east, creating glory that lasted for centuries. However, in just a few decades at the end of the 12th century BC, many civilizations collapsed one after another like dominoes. Ancient writing and technological civilization disappeared, leaving only magnificent historical relics such as the pyramids and the epic story of the Trojan War.
