Animals That Changed History

Animals That Changed History

Animals That Changed History - Season 1 - Plagues: For most of our history, people have fallen victim to crippling disease, and not had a clue where it came from. Despite our best efforts, we are vulnerable - not, perhaps, to lions, tigers, and bears - but more to the killers we can't even see. In America during the early 1980s, a mysterious new disease claims the lives of 159 people, most of them gay men.

The Ascent of Civilization

The Ascent of Civilization

This episode explores the Vikings not as ruthless raiders but as groundbreaking seafarers, traders, and explorers. Master shipbuilders, they forged vast networks of commerce stretching from Europe to Asia and even reached the shores of America centuries before Columbus. By challenging the stereotype of violent marauders, the documentary presents the Vikings as a tolerant and skilled people whose innovations in navigation and trade reshaped medieval exploration and left an enduring mark on global history.

The Ascent of Civilization

The Ascent of Civilization

The Romans created one of the greatest empires in history, built with the help of an incredible army of professional legionnaires and a well-oiled political machinery. At its height, a few hundred men ruled over a fifth of mankind and an area stretching from Britain to Syria and from Gibraltar to the Euphrates. They undertook some of the most ambitious building projects of their time: endless roads, gigantic bridges and imposing aqueducts formed a complex infrastructure and left a lasting legacy. This film is a revelatory and unique journey into the world of ancient Rome.

The Ascent of Civilization

The Ascent of Civilization

Ancient Greece – the cradle of modern Europe. Around 3000 years ago, the cultural foundations of western civilisation were laid right here, on the shores of the Mediterranean. It's the birthplace of democracy, where great thinkers forged the beginnings of scientific reasoning, where theatre was turned into mass entertainment, and where the Olympic Games began. Imaginative animation, stunning visuals and an entertaining narrative combine in an extraordinary exploration of Greece and the rise of an ancient super-power that would leave a permanent mark on western society.

Crime Scene Eulau

Crime Scene Eulau

This documentary focuses on a spectacular discovery made in a quarry near the village of Eulau, not far from the central German town of Naumburg. Neolithic graves contained the skeletons of three women, two men and eight children, buried tenderly 4500 years ago, some affectionately entwined. In 2008, for the first time anywhere in the world, it was possible to perform a DNA analysis on the earliest evidence of the existence of a nuclear family. This was a sensation - but why did these people all die at the same time? Were they the victims of a violent crime? Who were they, and how did this terrible drama unfold? Archaeologists insist that these victims will not be forgotten, since these days it is possible to do far more than simply date and record such finds. Modern scientific methods have revolutionised archaeology, enabling us to discover how and why the family from Eulau in the German state of Sachsen-Anhalt died 4500 years ago. By enlisting the help of a CID profiler, archaeologists and anthropologists employ state-of-the-art analytical methods to investigate this Stone Age crime. In the process we discover key information about an era before recorded history which has previously been shrouded in mystery - and astonishing information about the composition of the population here also comes to light. It seems that the third millennium before Christ saw two major waves of migration, from Eastern and Western Europe, which determine the composition of the population here. In the middle of what is now Germany these two migratory movements met. Could this be the background to the mysterious murders of Eulau?
