Historian Dr Richard Miles explores the origins of civilisation, starting with the cities of ancient Mesopotamia 6,000 years ago. He visits Uruk, in southern Iraq before travelling to Syria, Egypt, Anatolia and southern Greece, tracing Bronze Age developments in agriculture, writing and trade ... oh, and city-building.
Very good indeed, Dr Richard Miles has a fresh, understated approach to presentation.
PS: The link to the programme is in English - though looks like Welsh, perhaps??
