By Eric H Cline
I don't now how this book got on my reading list. It is a highly recommended book, but it's more like a history textbook collapse of civilization at the late bronze age and the beginning of the iron age.
Why did civilization collapse at the end of the bronze age? Maybe bad luck… a combination of earth quakes, drought and invasions. The invasions are usually attributed to an unknown race called "The Sea People" It possible that the drought and earth quakes displaced many people and caused an up tick in piracy. These displaced people, from our point of view are the sea people. Back then they were just more marauders.
The book has a large amount of scholarly detail. This is not a speculative work.
