Quotes by Eric H. Cline (?)

“Unfortunately, identifying Ramses II as the pharaoh of the Exodus, which is the identification most frequently found in both scholarly and popular books, does not work if one also wishes to follow the chronology presented in the Bible.”
― Eric H. Cline, 1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed

“In a complex system such as our world today, this is all it might take for the overall system to become destabilized, leading to a collapse.”
― Eric H. Cline, 1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed

“But what factor, or combination of factors, may have caused the famine(s) in the Eastern Mediterranean during these decades remains uncertain. Elements that might be considered include war and plagues of insects, but climate change accompanied by drought is more likely to have turned a once-verdant land into an arid semidesert.”
― Eric H. Cline, 1177 B.C.: The Year Civilization Collapsed
