3 am... couldn't sleep ... then I switched the tube on and spent the most enthralling 70-plus minutes of my last decade. Having read the first 1177 book a few years ago, I truly loved the subject and your delivery.

As a fellow academic, there is nothing more relatable than a historian arguing against the subtitle of his own book, because it isn't *technically* true, but he lost the battle with his editors. 😂 20:41
I'm on team "Hammurabi's Shoes"!

Erica, I’ve been watching YouTube videos since 2006 and this is the first and only comment I’ve ever been moved to make on a video. Thank you so much for doing these interviews and for making them lively and enjoyable. You don’t get much marketable history content in a visual medium; and while I love a traditional history book, an upbeat, living color channel where you conduct these interviews is a real treat. Thank you very much.

I really enjoyed his previous book, and so will have a read of this new one.

Excellent episode! I've been curious about this subject ever since I first caught Dr. Cline's lecture on the bronze age collapse of 1177. Great to see him on your channel.

It seems to me that Homer knew something about the Sea People based on two passages in the Odyssey. Menelaus tells Telemachus about his sojourn in Egypt after the Trojan War and the story that Odysseus tells the swine herd. The second story sounds similar to the Sea People attack on Egypt

I’ve had Dr. Cline’s book 1177 on my wish-list for several years now- this interview clinched it. Ordered them both. Can’t wait. By the way, great (and I mean GREAT) interview!

[lillpoetboy]

This is so awesome!! I bought book moons ago and I can't believe you had this discussion. Was not expecting this. Made my day!

[HectorLopez-kmvh]

Dr. Cline! EXCELLENT questions and what a tremendous communicator of his work. AWESOME!!

[Gorboduc]

Great interview, and a third volume coming out is the best news I've heard in a long time. 👍

[SolracCAP]

Love seeing Eric Cline anywhere he shows up, always a great and interesting conversation.

In the third book, do reverse-chronological order. Start at the end at the beginning of the book, and each chapter goes backwards until you get to the end of the Bronze Age collapse. Making sure you focus on the long term implications of the Bronze Age collapse.

a new book by Eric Cline? beautiful! the Bronze Age Collapse is one of my favorite eras!

[alyasgrey]

Oh my god, I'm thrilled to have stumbled on this channel.

It's so exciting to see an interview with Eric Cline, one of my absolute favorite historians.

[markknowles]

Erica, another great interview.. This is personally my favourite of all because it covers so much of the same ground as the research behind 'Hades'. He comes across as such a decent man, too (and glad he corrected your doing yourself down at the end!) p.s. will be returning to Mycenae late October on research: get yourself and your partner back there!

[alwilliams]

Excellent episode! Really hope the Amarna letters book makes it out. I am certain there are many who would love it.

[AldoYanezRuiz]

Excellent interview! Just ordered the first book.

[allesvergaengliche]

Great video! I loved Dr. Cline’s 1177, and I didn’t know there was a sequel.

[roadtoantiquity]

Yes, love this already!
Edit: up until now I never had any interest in reading 1177BC exactly because of the clickbait-y title - I just thought it would be unnuanced. Now I have heard the author speak I think I am going to give it a shot. Just wish publishing houses would not push for titles like this.. gives an almost wrong impression of the book I gather.

[davehas]

Brilliant interview!
Love Dr Clines .. love this channel.
Thank you
