After 1177 B. C: the survival of civilizations

Preface. It's the end of the world as we know it (...and I don't feel fine)

Prologue. Welcome to the Iron Age

The year of the hyenas, when men starved

Conqueror of all lands, avenger of Assyria

The Mediterranean became a Phoenician lake

King of the land of Carchemish

In the shadow of the ruined palaces

From collapse to resilience

Epilogue. End of a dark age
