Memorialized in later literature as a golden era, the Late Bronze Age (1550–1200/1150 BCE) witnesses the rise of the Hittite and New Kingdom Egyptian empires and development of an interconnected global economy. The demise of this world in the eastern Mediterranean marks a transformative moment in history. This lecture explores the factors responsible for this crisis and its impact on the Levant, highlighting the “winners” who emerge from the ruins of the Bronze Age.
