This catalog has a page for every lunar eclipse from 2000 BC to 3000 AD, 12,064 in all, shown in groups of 20 years at a time. You can go to any eclipse by selecting the milennium, century and 20-year period from the navigation tabs above; then click on an eclipse's date in the list below to to go its page.

You can see the solar eclipses or the combined eclipse catalog by clicking "Solar Eclipses" or "All Eclipses" in the top-right tabs.

Lunar Eclipses, 1200–1181 BC

Note that eclipse dates are specified relative to UT. You have not selected a timezone for eclipse timings, so all times are shown in UT (essentially GMT).
5 Jan, 1200 BC
max: 19:52 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.01; Saros 44)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 1% of the Moon's disc for 33 minutes and 42 seconds, which was essentially impossible to see.
   
2 Jun, 1200 BC
max: 00:53 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.90; Saros 11)
The Moon approached within 4% of the Earth's umbral shadow at maximum eclipse; 90% of the Moon's disc was partially shaded by the Earth, with the overall eclipse lasting 3 hours and 52 minutes. While less dramatic than a partial eclipse (as no part of the Moon was in complete shadow), a shading across the Moon should have been readily visible to observers.
   
1 Jul, 1200 BC
max: 07:34 UT
Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
(penum. mag. 0.19; Saros 49)
In this extremely marginal eclipse, the Moon barely clipped the edge of the Earth's penumbral shadow. This caused a microscopic darkening of just 19% of the Moon's disc for 1 hour and 54 minutes, which was essentially impossible to see.
26 Nov, 1200 BC
max: 00:40 UT
Partial Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 0.41; Saros 16)
The Earth's shadow on the moon was clearly visible in this eclipse, with 41% of the Moon in shadow; the partial eclipse lasted for 2 hours and 27 minutes.
   
22 May, 1199 BC
max: 17:21 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.28; Saros 21)
The Moon was plunged into darkness for 1 hour and 14 minutes, in a deep total eclipse which saw the Moon 28% of its diameter inside the Earth's umbral shadow. The visual effect of this depends on the state of the Earth's atmosphere, but the Moon may have been stained a deep red colour. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 25 minutes in total.
   
15 Nov, 1199 BC
max: 03:58 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.74; Saros 26)
A dramatic total eclipse lasting 1 hour and 41 minutes plunged the full Moon into deep darkness, as it passed right through the centre of the Earth's umbral shadow. While the visual effect of a total eclipse is variable, the Moon may have been stained a deep orange or red colour at maximum eclipse. This was a great spectacle for everyone who saw it. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 44 minutes in total.
   
12 May, 1198 BC
max: 04:55 UT
Total Lunar Eclipse
(umbral mag. 1.00; Saros 31)
The Moon barely edged into total eclipse for a brief 8 minutes and 54 seconds. With the Moon just barely inside the Earth's umbral shadow, the Moon may have been quite bright, but even so, this should have been worth seeing. The partial eclipse lasted for 3 hours and 21 minutes in total.
   
4 Nov, 1198 BC
