A History Of Ancient Britain - Series 1 (DVD)

Neil Oliver begins an epic quest through the entire world of our prehistoric ancestors to explore into how our lands and its peoples came to be from the glacial wasteland of 12,000BC through the glories of the Stone Age. He travels the British Isles to piece together this remarkable story: of how our ancestors emerged from the last ice age as bands of hunter gatherers to forge a society... hamlets, farms, and international traders. By taking us on this journey we will see the very beginnings of civilization - in art and religion
home and work
status and trade. But most of all it will place our land centre stage in all its glory, and reveal its place in the spiritual lives of the people who lived here... a land on the edge of the world. Neil will investigate the big monuments anew... as well as some of the little known ones that hold some of the biggest secrets. And by tapping into the latest scientific detective work, and experimental archaeology we will get under the skin of this mysterious world, the lives of the people who inhabited it, and the tipping points that changed their lives, and made ours.
