1/6 Risky Rocks

  Earthquakes created a huge network of cracks in the ground that
have had a huge impact on human history. These faults are pathways
for materials to rise to the surface which can bring life or death.
They are behind everything from catastrophic volcanoes to natural
health spas and valuable mineral deposits. Filmed in Greece, Turkey
and Jordan.

  First broadcast: 22 Aug 2008

2/6 Architecture

  The architecture of ancient civilisations was largely dictated by
the types of rocks that were accessible to their builders. Iain Stewart
reveals how geology influenced the Egyptians to build pyramids, the
Greeks to build squares and the Romans to build perfect arches.
It all comes down to how the rocks were formed millions of years ago.
Filmed in Egypt, Italy and Greece.

  First broadcast: 29 Aug 2008

3/6 Art

  Geology has had a huge influence in shaping the history of art.
Early cave painters scraped their colours from rocks on the
earth's surface, while the Egyptians and Arabs developed
ingenious techniques to dramatically broaden the range of their palettes.
As well as exploring ancient techniques, Iain Stewart looks at how
advances in our understanding of rocks have given each generation
of artists new options. Filmed in Egypt, France and Spain.

4/6 Beliefs

  How rocks played a crucial role in determining the beliefs of ancient civilisations.

  Geological events have influenced the way we believe the world around
us works. From the birth of Christianity to recent discoveries about
the extinction of dinosaurs, geology has played a vital role in our
perception of where we came from. Filmed in Greece, Italy and Portugal.

5/6 Water

  Dr Iain Stewart tells the story of man's 10,000-year battle to control water.

  Iain Stewart tells the story of man's 10,000-year battle with water.
Because water is so crucial, the really successful ancient civilisations
were the ones that learned how best to exploit it. From the catastrophic
flooding of Stone Age hunting grounds at the Black Sea, to the fall of the
Roman Empire, water played a crucial role. Even today, we ignore the power
of water at our peril. Filmed in Greece, Spain and Jordan.

  First broadcast: 19 Sep 2008


6/6 Salt

  How salt has played a key role in everything from ice ages to the preservation of food.

  Salt has played a crucial role in everything from the existence of ice ages
to the preservation of food and dead bodies in ancient Egypt.
Filmed in Egypt, Venice and Sicily.
