Ancient Worlds is about people and places, politics and economics, art and war, trade and technology, but above all it’s the story of the painful birth and difficult growth of a radical idea first tried and tested some six thousand years ago, and which we are still struggling with today; civilisation. Civilisation has not come easily; it’s something we’ve had to fight hard to achieve, and even harder to maintain, and the greatest threats to it have come from our own talents for destruction. But when we’ve managed to get it right, the benefits have been enormous. When we talk about the ancient world we tend to think of rare and exotic artefacts or the monumental remains of epic architecture; but these are just the empty shells that got left behind when the tide of history turned! The living creatures, the civilisations, that once inhabited these shells were rarely if ever static or stately; they were dynamic, chaotic, and always threatening to spin out of control, because civilisation is based on an improbable idea; that strangers can live and work together in dense urban settings, forging new allegiances that replace the natural ties of family, clan or tribe. It’s an idea we’re still coming to terms with today, but one of the best ways to understand the challenges that are involved is to look at how our ancestors tackled them the first time around. From ancient Iraq to Imperial Rome, Ancient Worlds examines how our ancestors struggled with the levers of religion and politics, art and culture, war and diplomacy, technology and trade in order to keep the complex machinery of their civilisations turning over. Their insights and blind-spots, their breakthroughs and dead ends, their triumphs and disasters are the milestones on the long and winding road that leads directly from their ancient to our modern world.
一根绳子到底有多长？这个简单到众所周知的提问，正是此次BBC地平线系列纪录片所要探讨的问题。艾伦·戴维斯将试图回答，这个很快就变成一个令人费解的古怪难题。艾伦拜访了数学界领军人物马科斯·杜·索托伊，他惊人地发现自己手中这根有限长度的绳子，在原子标度下，居然是无限长。甚至艾伦还发现，至少在理论层面上，这根短小的绳子将很可能创建一个将世界陷入末日的黑洞。一厘米将有一个新的含义，你是否会开始质疑现实生活中的构造？你测量的越精细，绳子就越长。 地平线系列纪录片是英国广播公司BBC制作的一档流行并且播放已久的科学纪录片，于1964年5月2日首播，到2013年为止已有49个系列超过1100集。本系列纪录片从历史、人文、宗教、地理、设计、艺术、生物、哲学、环保、伦理等多个方面，提供世界上最伟大科学家和哲学家一个可以交流他们看法和观点的平台，并将他们对世界的新看法引...
