Die Welt der Antike

INHALT

Archaeologist and historian Richard Miles explores the roots of civilisation in the first episode of a series that runs from the creation of the first cities in Mesopotamia some 6,000 years ago, to the decline and fall of the Roman Empire. Starting in Uruk, the "mother of all cities", in southern Iraq, Richard travels to Syria, Egypt, Anatolia and Greece, tracing the birth and development of technology and culture.
