The Survival of Civilization: 1177 B.C.

An interview with Professor Eric Cline

Uluburun is a ship—a shipwreck in the Mediterranean. It is also a time machine. 1300 B.C.E.

The ship, however, reveals what is about to be a revelation to me again, after 1177 B.C.: The Survival of Civilization by Professor Eric Klein. This is a sequel to a book Eric and I spoke of many years ago, which includes the Uluburun shipwreck, 1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed.

This ship is understood to have not met its conditions, and sunk. It's been recovered to a great extent. Its cargo is the Bronze Age.

So here we are, not only at the end of civilization, but at its reawakening and with revelations that may or may not be useful here in the 21st century.

What is in the Uluburun that demonstrates globalization at the time?
