Description
Hard Cover in dj. Fine/fine. 8vo - over 7æ" - 9æ" tall. 434 pages with b/w illustrations. The old world has confronted archaeologists with many riddles, perhaps the most tantalising of which is the Dark Age, an economic and cultural recession so devastating it lasted for 400 years from 1200 to 800BC. Or did it? The dates for the near east and Mediterranean are derived from the highly regarded chronology of ancient Egypt, but could not that itself have been miscalculated? This is the pioneering theory proposed by Peter James in an intricate piece of scholarly detective work.
