| Summary |
From the days of the Romans to the detailed scientific archaeology of today, humans have longed to make sense of buildings and objects that time has left behind. But from the truth about the bible, to the origins of civilisation, and the scientific assault on deeply held cultural myths - striving to get to grips with the ancient world has always caused trouble. Richard Miles travels through the ages of the Renaissance and Enlightenment, and into the modern day, to discover how we have tried to understand our ancient past over the last 2,000 years of hotly fought history. He explains how human fascination with the mysteries of the ancient past has created a legacy of wonder, discovery, and debate. (Part 1 of 3) (From the UK) (Documentary) G CC **Premiere** |
