Eric H. Cline is professor of classics and anthropology and director of the Capitol Archaeological Institute at George Washington University. An active archaeologist, he has excavated and surveyed in Greece, Crete, Cyprus, Egypt, Israel, and Jordan. His many books include From Eden to Exile: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Bible and The Trojan War: A Very Short Introduction.
In 1177 B.C., marauding groups known only as the “Sea Peoples” invaded Egypt. The pharaoh’s army and navy managed to defeat them, but the victory so weakened Egypt that it soon slid into decline, as did most of the surrounding civilizations. After centuries of brilliance, the civilized world of the Bronze Age came to an abrupt and cataclysmic end. Kingdoms fell like dominoes over the course of just a few decades. No more Minoans or Mycenaeans. No more Trojans, Hittites, or Babylonians. The thriving economy and cultures of the late second millennium B.C., which had stretched from Greece to Egypt and Mesopotamia, suddenly ceased to exist, along with writing systems, technology, and monumental architecture. But the Sea Peoples alone could not have caused such widespread breakdown. How did it happen?
In this major new account of the causes of this “First Dark Ages,” Eric Cline tells the gripping story of how the end was brought about by multiple interconnected failures, ranging from invasion and revolt to earthquakes, drought, and the cutting of international trade routes. Bringing to life the vibrant multicultural world of these great civilizations, he draws a sweeping panorama of the empires and globalized peoples of the Late Bronze Age and shows that it was their very interdependence that hastened their dramatic collapse and ushered in a dark age that lasted centuries.
A compelling combination of narrative and the latest scholarship, 1177 B.C. sheds new light on the complex ties that gave rise to, and ultimately destroyed, the flourishing civilizations of the Late Bronze Age—and that set the stage for the emergence of classical Greece.
导致或促成青铜时代晚期之末文明崩溃的原因也许很多,但似乎没有哪个单一原因会造成灾难。 ① 这个时期显然发生过多次地震,但通常说来社会是可以从地震中恢复的。 ② 有文字证据证明爱琴海和地中海地区曾发生过饥荒,现在也有科学证据证明那里曾经发生过旱灾和气候变化,但是...

評分比起资料丰富、内容庞杂的现代史研究,上古史研究,无疑因为时间久远、材料有限、内容散轶等原因,往往充满了各式各样的谜团,因此,历史学家往往需要据此提出自己的假设,就何为事实给出自己的看法,哪怕冒着遭人质疑的风险。另外,随着考古发现的不断进行,某些所谓的共识,...
評分现在梳理人类文明进程,可以大致梳理出几段文明周期了,当然这篇文章以神游意淫为主,诸位不要当成历史科普和我较真: 1. 苏美尔-埃及-印度哈拉帕等兴起于河流的初代文明(BC4000-BC2000)。工具为金石并用,后期向青铜器转变;文字为刻在泥砖和石头上的图像符号,后期向楔形文...
看原版吧,翻譯很爛
评分看原版吧,翻譯很爛
评分書中列舉瞭考古的證據證明瞭Troy的真實存在和其他在公元前1177年前存在過的地中海文明
评分:-)
评分很不錯。推理嚴謹,乾貨滿滿。雖然沒有定論但是明白瞭各種可能。最好的是把自己所知的人類文明退遠到公元兩韆年前!太刺激瞭!
