This program takes a look at the glorious city of Ugarit, one of the most prosperous and cosmopolitan cities in all of antiquity. Though never the seat of a large state, Ugarit was the jewel in the crown for whoever possessed it, whether it be the pharaohs of the Egyptian New Kingdom or the “Great Kings“ of the Hittite Empire. In the end though, Ugarit and many of its neighbors met a tragic fate as by the 12th century BC, the geopolitical situation rapidly changed for the worse. This video takes a look at Ugarit’s storied history and great achievements through letters and archaeological remains that give us a glimpse into the vibrant life of one of ancient history’s most spectacular cities.
