What is 1332 bc?

1332 BC was a year in the ancient world. Some significant events that occurred in this year include:

• In Egypt, Pharaoh Tutankhamun came to the throne at the age of 8 or 9, after the death of his father Akhenaten. Tutankhamun would later become famous for his tomb, which was discovered relatively intact by archaeologist Howard Carter in 1922.
• In China, the Shang dynasty was nearing its end, with King Wu Ding reigning and facing challenges from neighboring tribes. The Shang would eventually be replaced by the Zhou dynasty around 1046 BC.
• In Greece, this was around the time of the Bronze Age collapse, which saw the decline of many civilizations in the eastern Mediterranean region. The Mycenaeans, who had been dominant in Greece, were facing attacks from the Sea Peoples and other invaders.
• It was also around this time that the Trojan War is said to have taken place, according to Greek mythology. The war was fought between the Trojans, led by King Priam, and the Greeks, who were seeking to rescue Helen, the wife of Menelaus, who was abducted by the Trojan prince Paris. The Greeks ultimately succeeded in sacking Troy, but suffered heavy losses in the process. However, historians debate whether the Trojan War actually occurred as described in the myths.
