: 1. Professor Eric Cline's books, 1177 BC, the year civilization collapsed and After 1177 BC, The Survival of Civilizations, highlight Late Bronze Age globalization through the Uluburun shipwreck (c. 1300 BC), revealing diverse cargo like copper from Cyprus and tin from Afghanistan . The 1177 BC collapse resulted from a "perfect storm" of drought, famine, Sea Peoples, disease, and earthquakes. New computer modeling suggests the simultaneous fall of the Hittites and Ugarit was  . . . . . .

Here are eight segments, each summarizing content from Professor Eric Cline's work, with book titles and authors, limited to 75 words, and numbered as requested: 1/8. In Professor Eric Cline's books, 1177 BC, the year civilization collapsed and After 1177 BC, The Survival of Civilizations, the Uluburun shipwreck (c. 1300 BC) serves as a microcosm of Late Bronze Age globalization. Its cargo included 10 tons of copper from Cyprus and 1 ton of tin from Afghanistan, along with ebony and Canaanite jars, demonstrating a sophisticated, wide-ranging trade network connecting multiple civilizations across the Mediterranean. A solid gold scarab of Nefertiti helped date the wreck to around 1300 BC. 1879 PLSTO SYMPOSIUM, MUMICH                                                          

2/8. Professor Eric Cline's work explains that the 1177 BC collapse resulted from a "perfect storm" of drought, famine, Sea Peoples (invaders/migrants), disease, and earthquakes. New computer modeling, detailed in his research, concluded that the simultaneous fall of the Hittites and the port city of Ugarit was critical and sufficient to bring down the entire globalized network. Ugarit, a key trading nexus, faced an earthquake, drought, famine, and an unnamed invader, making it a "poster child" for the collapse.

3/8. In Professor Eric Cline's After 1177 BC, The Survival of Civilizations, the Assyrians are a prime example of resilience post-1177 BC. Their success derived from strong leadership and constant warfare, allowing them to secure resources when traditional trade partners failed. Their complex, on-again-off-again relationship with the Babylonians eventually led to Neo-Assyrian dominance in the Near East for centuries, showcasing the rise and fall of empires.

4/8. Professor Eric Cline's books describe Egypt as "coping" after the 1177 BC collapse, retreating internationally due to internal chaos, like multiple pharaohs, during the Third Intermediate Period. A delayed drought impact affected them even with the Nile's support. This power vacuum allowed new, smaller kingdoms such as Israel, Judah, Edom, and Moab to flourish in regions previously overshadowed by larger empires. Egypt merely "muddled through" these challenging centuries. 2898 SCHOOL OF PLATO

5/8. As discussed by Professor Eric Cline, the Philistines are definitively identified as part of the Sea Peoples, likely the "Pleset" mentioned by the Egyptians. They settled in five key cities, including Ashdod, Ashkelon, and Gaza. Archaeological and recent DNA evidence from children in Ashkelon shows a mix of local Canaanite and "other" (possibly Aegean/Sardinian/Spanish) ancestry, indicating their descendants were from the original Sea Peoples, confirming their identity and origins. 1ST CE, NAPLES

6/8. In Professor Eric Cline's After 1177 BC, The Survival of Civilizations, the Phoenicians and Cypriates are highlighted as "antifragile", flourishing in chaos. Phoenicians, surviving Canaanites, took over Mediterranean trade, spreading purple dye and standardizing the alphabet. Cypriates, original copper suppliers, pioneered iron metallurgy, disseminating both goods and techniques, possibly out of innovation rather than just necessity. They used their Mediterranean access to even buy off the Neo-Assyrians with tribute.

     7/8. Professor Eric Cline's books detail the Hittite Empire's collapse as a societal failure due to poor leadership, a devastating plague (killing the royal family, including Suppiluliuma I), and attacks from enemies like the Kashka. Unlike other major powers, the Hittites were the only "G8" not on a major river system, a factor in their vulnerability during periods of drought. While the main empire vanished, "Neo-Hittite" city-states in northern Syria, such as Carchemish, adapted and survived, often paying tribute to the Neo-Assyrians.

8/8. Professor Eric Cline categorizes the Minoans (Crete) and Mycenaeans (mainland Greece) as societies that failedthe collapse in After 1177 BC, The Survival of Civilizations. Despite outward vibrancy, they were internally fragile and vulnerable, possibly due to overextension, drought, famine, or internal uprisings. Cline applies IPCC definitions, classifying societies as "transforming," "adapting," or "coping," with the Minoans and Mycenaeans ultimately disappearing completely, illustrating their failure to recover. 1700 BABYLON

FIVE MILLENIUM AFTER THE NEO IMPACT, WHAT CIVILIZATIONS REVIVE AND THRIVE?  1/8: After 1177 B.C.: The Survival of Civilizations by  Eric H. Cline  (Author) 1200 BCE MINOAN https://www.amazon.ca/After-1177-B-C-Survival-Civilizations/dp/0691192138 At the end of the acclaimed history 1177 B.C., many of the Late Bronze Age civilizations of the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean lay in ruins, undone by invasion, revolt, natural disasters, famine, and the demise of international trade. An interconnected world that had boasted major empires and societies, relative peace, robust commerce, and monumental architecture was lost and the so-called First Dark Age had begun. Now, in After 1177 B.C., Eric Cline tells the compelling story of what happened next, over four centuries, across the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean world. It is a story of resilience, transformation, and success, as well as failures, in an age of chaos and reconfiguration.

At the end of Eric Cline's bestselling history 1177 B.C., many of the Late Bronze Age civilizations of the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean lay in ruins, undone by invasion, revolt, natural disasters, famine, and the demise of international trade. An interconnected world that had boasted major empires and societies, relative peace, robust commerce, and monumental architecture was lost and the so-called First Dark Age had begun. Now, in After 1177 B.C.: The Survival of Civilizations (Princeton UP, 2025), Cline tells the compelling story of what happened next, over four centuries, across the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean world. It is a story of resilience, transformation, and success, as well as failures, in an age of chaos and reconfiguration. After 1177 B.C. tells how the collapse of powerful Late Bronze Age civilizations created new circumstances to which people and societies had to adapt. Those that failed to adjust disappeared from the world stage, while others transformed themselves, resulting in a new world order that included Phoenicians, Philistines, Israelites, Neo-Hittites, Neo-Assyrians, and Neo-Babylonians. Taking the story up to the resurgence of Greece marked by the first Olympic Games in 776 B.C., the book also describes how world-changing innovations such as the use of iron and the alphabet emerged amid the chaos. Filled with lessons for today about why some societies survive massive shocks while others do not, After 1177 B.C. reveals why this period, far from being the First Dark Age, was a new age with new inventions and new opportunities.
