End of the Bronze Age by Robert Drews
Changes in Warfare and the Catastrophe Ca.1200 B.C.
This text attempts to account for the destruction of key cities in the Mediterranean at the end of the Bronze Age, circa the 12th century BC. The author proposes a military explanation for the destruction of four important kingdoms at this time.The Bronze Age came to a close early in the twelfth century b.c. with one of the worst calamities in history: over a period of several decades, destruction descended upon key cities throughout the Eastern Mediterranean, bringing to an end the Levantine, Hittite, Trojan, and Mycenaean kingdoms and plunging some lands into a dark age that would last more than four hundred years. In his attempt to account for this destruction, Robert Drews rejects the traditional explanations and proposes a military one instead. |
