Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey has sparked renewed excitement around one of the world’s most enduring stories. If the film left you wanting to go deeper into the world behind Homer’s epic, the AIA Uncovering series Bronze Age Bundle offers a rich and rewarding way to continue the journey.
This bundle explores the archaeology behind Homer’s Odyssey—from the fortified city of Troy and the palace of King Nestor at Pylos, to the spectacular Uluburun shipwreck. Together, these publications reveal how archaeology continues to illuminate the people, places, and events that inspired some of history’s most enduring legends.
Uncovering Uluburun
Next up in the AIA’s popular Uncovering series is the true tale of the discovery of the Bronze Age’s richest shipwreck. Travel to Uluburun, or the “Grand Cape,” on the coast of Turkey and to the year 1320 b.c., when a vessel laden with 20 tons of cargo sank, including an extraordinary array of 18,000 objects from exotic locations across the Mediterranean and beyond. Uncovering Uluburun offers you an insider’s look at the merchants, mariners, and kings of the Bronze Age Mediterranean, the first great age of seafaring, commerce, and connectivity.
Uncovering Pylos
Like Troy, the ancient site of Pylos figures in the Trojan War as the home of the famous king Nestor, whose palace was discovered there nearly a century ago. Since then, archaeologists have worked to uncover extraordinary architecture and artifacts of the Mycenaean age, including the spectacular tomb of the Griffin Warrior, whose riches are revealed in these pages.
Uncovering Troy
Troy is one of the best-known sites in the ancient world. During the Bronze Age, nearly 3,500 years ago, this was the location of the Trojan War, the epic battle chronicled by the ancient Greek poet Homer. This exciting volume provides an overview of Troy’s history and of the significant finds made by archaeologists who have worked there since it was discovered in 1871.
