Narrator: Trevor Nichols.

"Explore Angkor Wat, undiscovered until 1860, a temple and city where the rulers of the all-conquering Khmer kingdom claimed the whole of Indo-China. See the Pyramids of Giza, the symbols of the ancient Egyptians' yearning for permanence and have endured for over 4,000 years. Be amazed at the ancient Greek city of Olympia, which became the spiritual centre of a whole society and how athletes flocked to the new Olympic Games to compete, worship and demonstrate now just their athleticism, but their fearsome battle skills too."--Container.
