Experts and historians bring to life the final chapters of four of history’s most iconic ancient worlds, revealing stark warnings from history.
They were the greatest civilisations in history. Each believed it would live on forever. Each suffered a devastating and unforeseen decline. From the Ancient Egyptians and the mighty Roman Empire to the Samurai of Japan and the Aztec Kings, all thought themselves untouchable – until dynastic power struggles, dictatorship, war and pandemic delivered a shocking blow that triggered their downfall. Combining expert testimony with dramatic reconstruction and CGI, each episode focusses on one civilisation, using the artworks and treasures they left behind to unlock the secrets of their decline.
