IRON WAS AN UNINTENDED RESULT OF TRADE STRANGULATION:  1/8: After 1177 B.C.: The Survival of Civilizations by  Eric H. Cline  (Author)

https://www.amazon.ca/After-1177-B-C-Survival-Civilizations/dp/0691192138

At the end of the acclaimed history 1177 B.C., many of the Late Bronze Age civilizations of the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean lay in ruins, undone by invasion, revolt, natural disasters, famine, and the demise of international trade. An interconnected world that had boasted major empires and societies, relative peace, robust commerce, and monumental architecture was lost and the so-called First Dark Age had begun. Now, in After 1177 B.C., Eric Cline tells the compelling story of what happened next, over four centuries, across the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean world. It is a story of resilience, transformation, and success, as well as failures, in an age of chaos and reconfiguration.
