It's late but I just noticed your AMA so I'm hoping you'll still be responding in the morning. I'm a fan of your Trojan War Modern Scholar lecture series. It actually inspired me to visit Troy last summer when I was traveling through Greece and Turkey and it gave me a lot of insight on what I saw there. I am very interested in history particularly late Roman/Byzantine history. My question for you is what is it about the late Bronze Age that particularly interests you and makes it unique from previous and subsequent eras? Thanks for the lectures and the AMA.

It was cool to simply be at Troy and your lectures made what I was seeing make a bit more sense but there wasn't anything nearly as spectacular as the walls in Istanbul, the library at Ephesus, or all the Hittite artifacts at the museum in Ankara. I'm looking forward to reading 1177, do you have any plans for future lecture courses?
