Quotes by Eric H. Cline (?)

“Unfortunately, identifying Ramses II as the pharaoh of the Exodus, which is the identification most frequently found in both scholarly and popular books, does not work if one also wishes to follow the chronology presented in the Bible.”
― Eric H. Cline, 1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed

“In a complex system such as our world today, this is all it might take for the overall system to become destabilized, leading to a collapse.”
― Eric H. Cline, 1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed

5 likes

“We must now turn to the idea of a systems collapse, a systemic failure with both a domino and multiplier effect, from which even such a globalized international, vibrant, intersocietal network as was present during the Late Bronze Age could not recover.”
― Eric H. Cline, 1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed
