This audiobook narrated by acclaimed archaeologist and best-selling author Eric Cline offers a breathtaking account of how the collapse of an ancient civilized world ushered in the first Dark Ages.

There is much of human history which we don’t know due to lost records, the oceans covering our ancestor’s cities, natural disasters, and reasons we don’t know. There are also many anomalies which have been found showing ruins and objects from the far past which should not exist.

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., Cline tells the compelling story of what happened next, over four centuries, across the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean world.

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.

Die Geschichte der Menschen ist seit ihrer Sesshaftwerdung ein Mosaik aus Völkern, Reichen, Religionen und Kulturen, die entstehen und vergehen. Trotzdem lassen sich, wie Volker Reinhardt in seiner meisterhaften Darstellung zeigt, große Linien und Wendepunkte erkennen. Er erklärt, wie vor rund 5000 Jahren die ersten Reiche entstanden, welche ihrer Errungenschaften Bestand hatten und wo sich Wege friedlich oder kriegerisch kreuzten.

By weaving together thoroughly researched historical facts, Storyline of Our Predecessors: The Collapse of Ancient Society provides a glimpse into the culture of ancient civilizations and the factors that ultimately led to their collapse.
