Volcanic eruption in Alaska linked to social conflict in ancient Egypt? - With Dr Joe Manning - Context S2E6

Historical accounts, archaeological data and recent environmental research brought to light multiple accounts, where the fates of entire civilizations have been affected by climatic events and resulting social conflict. In this episode of archaeological context, we focus on the first century BCE in the eastern Mediterranean region. A period marked by the end of the reign of the Ptolemaic dynasty in Egypt. Recent multidisciplinary research by the guest of this episode, Dr Joe Manning from the Yale University, has highlighted the pivotal role played by a massive volcanic eruption in Alaska and resulting climatic fluctuations, that likely helped to trigger this transformative moment in the middle of the first century BCE.Show Contact Info Get in contact [email protected] Subscribe on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@archcontext Follow on instagram https://www.instagram.com/archaeological_context/ Support on patreon https://www.patreon.com/archcontext Music by crying vesselhttps://www.youtube.com/user/CryingVesselVideoArchPodNet APN Website: https://www.archpodnet.com APN on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/archpodnet APN on Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/archpodnet APN on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/archpodnet Tee Public StoreAffiliates Motion: https://www.archpodnet.com/motion Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
