Compare Prices on Legacy – The Origins of Civilization
This is a fabulous series…beautifully photographed, and thoroughly piquant. Michael Wood’s enthusiasm for his subject is infectious. His narration is far from obsolete lecture – it is accessible, expressive and deeply arresting at times.

What I enjoyed most about the series was the fact that there were no “dramatic re-enactments” of historical places, people and events. (…as NBC did in a mini-series made a few years after the release of “Legacy,” complete with lots of simulated violence.) Rather than using computer generated models of cities, Wood takes us to the steady sites, passes through their crumbling walls, walks their time-worn streets and makes them near alive for us.
Many of those cities are inhabited to this day, and rather than employ costumed actors to depict the musty residents, we instead observe them reflected in the faces of their living descendants. We examine how something of the ancients endures to this day in the appearance and customs of approved people, often in unexpected ways. We learn that human nature hasn’t changed over the millenia as remarkable as we might like to occupy it has…a bit disheartening at first, but Wood shares his hope that we might learn from the mistakes of those who came before us.

I had objective started to transfer my former VHS tapes to DVD when I discovered they are now available in that format!
I found this series of documentaries to be well presented, view provoking, and enlightening. Recommended viewing to anyone who wants to expand their knowledge of the world and its cultures. You reach away feeling proud of human achievements and with a right sense that an commence mind about our fellow man is both practical and the only blueprint in which to acquire. A truly international historical and cultural guide, well scripted and very palatable.
