SUMMARY:The Silent Fall of an Empire in 1200 BCE
DTSTART:20171207T230000Z
DTEND:20171208T003000Z
DESCRIPTION:The events causing the end of the Hittite empire at the en
 d of the Late Bronze Age in the eastern Mediterranean are still unknow
 n\, but while its causes have been widely discussed\, little to no att
 ention has been devoted to the lack of memory of it\, as well as the l
 ack of a clear attempt by later polities to claim the legacy of the Gr
 eat Kings of Hatti. The talk will focus on the perceptions of the fall
  of the empire\, and the non-uniform trajectories of its aftermath. Th
 e lack of central power allowed local groups to develop several politi
 cal experiments. By the 9th century these were transformed into region
 al monarchies. Phrygia and Urartu are widely known to the great public
 . The talk will present evidence in support of the existence of a thir
 d one: the Land of Tuali.
