Ancient Global Warming

Professor Alice Roberts charts the rise of civilisation from 6100BCE to the end of the Bronze Age. It was a time of great work in architecture, literature, and the arts, until most of these great civilisations suddenly collapsed, never to rise again, plunging the world into a dark age. Alice reveals how scientists are uncovering what happened to these civilisations - the devastating flood that separated Britain from Continental Europe, the cataclysmic volcanic eruption that wiped out Minoan civilisation, and the discovery of Europe's earliest battlefield – throwing new light on disasters that shaped the world today.
