YESTERDAY - HISTORY

The Secrets To Civilisation
3 x 60’, 2021, 4K
This series explores how cutting-edge science is changing the way we think about the ancient past - restoring the environment to its place as a key driver of human history.
As we unpack the collapse of Bronze Age civilisations over 3,000 years ago, the inexorable rise of classical civilisation, and the collapse of the Roman Empire, we discover
the essential rules of what it takes to make or break a civilisation. Top historians share with us how the new data on the state of our planet is providing them with fresh
insights on how climate change, pandemics and vulcanism have affected the course of human history from ancient Egypt to the fall of Rome. Gathering evidence from
ancient pollen, cave formations, human DNA and the residues of both volcanoes and of ancient pollution locked in Arctic ice, we discover how vulnerable we are to rapid
changes in the environment. And how the story of humanity’s own fingerprint on the planet goes far further back than we ever thought.
