The 7 Ships That Burned a Kingdom in 1186 BC

The Late Bronze Age Collapse erased more than 40 palaces between 1200 and 1150 BC. This film traces how one Uluburun ship carrying Cypriot copper and Afghan tin for 5,000 swords reveals a world with no slack. It follows Pylos burning, Hattusa abandoned, Ugarit's last letter in 1186 BC, Ramesses III's Sea Peoples battle in 1177 BC at Medinet Habu, and how drought, famine and failed trade created 400 years of darkness.
