First! Can't wait to watch this tonight!
nice work
Incredulous…None of these important ancient metropolises are actually THAT old; since in terms of Humanity's antiquity, cities like Rome, Carthage, Athens, and Alexandria emerged nearly "yesterday" if one compares them to Uruk (Sumer), Babylon, Nineveh (Assyria), and Thebes (Egypt) which were already ancient when any of the former ones emerged. Indeed, while Uruk surfaced circa 4500 BCE, Rome claims to have been founded circa 753 BCE, thereby making the former much older than the latter vis-a-vis how old the Romans are to us (in the 21st century CE)
I have more faith in Victorian era architects than todays.
Huh ? These arent Victorian cities, or structures lol. The Victorian era isn't ancient..yet.
Wow, this doc takes me on a journey through time! 🤩 Each city feels so alive, from the bustling markets of Babylon to the grand monuments of Rome.
Damascus, Aleppo!!!!
When it comes to, say, the Egyptian pyramids or anything African, then the slaves who worked on those buildings were whipped and tortured, but when it comes to European slaves, everyone would want to be a slave, because two out of three were either accountants or bankers, that's how it's presented! If only I could at least once watch a historical documentary that is purely factual and historically accurate, without serving as propaganda material!
Ancient cities none from indian subcontinent. F*ck off
Thank you for this amazing work.
Hugs from Brazil…
