"Clearly narrated by Colgate Salisbury, these programs present a plethora of information about these historical groups in a short span of time. Originally produced for the Learning Channel, each film in this series has color footage shot on site where the group lived as well as clear shots of their art, the current remains of their infrastructure, staged reproductions of warfare and cultural antics, computer enhanced maps of where the group ruled and, occasionally, later appropriate artwork referring back to the group. The narration is factual, logically organized, and presented in a pleasing manner that should be understandable to most students. The length of each presentation in film is appropriate for a class period."- School Library Journal From the sand-swept landscape of Mesopotamia to the pristine fjords of Scandinavia, this series will visit all corners of the ancient world to learn how empires were born and civilizations forged, shaping all the world's history. Each episode focuses on a different tribe. Reenactments of ancient warfare and examinations of artifacts, weapons and paintings will all unite in the grand revisualization of the world of these Ancient tribes. |
