Around 1177 BCE, a cataclysmic wave of migration and warfare swept across the Eastern Mediterranean, toppling the Hittite Empire and destabilizing Egypt. Yet one island stood firm against the chaos: Cyprus. This episode explores how Alashiya, the ancient Cypriot kingdom known for its copper, navigated the Bronze Age Collapse. We examine the archaeological evidence from Enkomi and Kition, where fortified walls and sudden layers of ash tell a different story than the collapsed mainland palaces. Through the lens of the Amarna Letters and the records of Pharaoh Merneptah, we trace how Cypriot rulers like Iliumuri managed to trade with both invaders and survivors. You will learn about the mysterious Sea Peoples, their possible origins in the Aegean or Anatolia, and why Cyprus became a sanctuary for displaced artisans and refugees rather than a battlefield. This is a story of resilience, economic adaptation, and the strategic importance of metal in a world tearing itself apart. #BronzeAgeCollapse #SeaPeoples #Alashiya #CyprusHistory #Enkomi #Kition #Merneptah #AmarnaLetters #CopperTrade #MycenaeanGreece #HittiteEmpire #Ugarit #LateBronzeAge #MediterraneanHistory #Archaeology #AncientTrade #FexingoHistory #History #IronAge Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
