You'll experience great battles, like Megiddo, Kadesh, the Trojan War and the Persian conquest. And you'll witness first hand the great accomlishments of the first civilizations: farming, city-building, writing, trade, exploration and lawmaking. Some of the legendary figures of history are included here: Egyptian pharaohs like Thutmose, Thutankhamon and Ramesses; the heroes of the Mycenean Age, like Achilles and Hector; the great Jewish kings Saul, David and Solomon; and the mighty Persian rulers such as Cyrus and Xerxes.

About The History of the World-series:

I have taken footage from hundreds of different historic films, TV-series and documentaries and put them together. The result is a historic narrative unlike anything you've seen before. From the first civilizations to present day, this series aims at telling the whole human story. From Gladiator to Gravity, from Alexander to Lincoln, from Vikings to Band of Brothers - this is the History of the World told in a whole new way. I have used footage from films, TV-series and documentaries from all over the world: Hollywood blockbusters, HBO TV-shows, Bollywood movies, Chinese cinema, European epics, Turkish television – everything is included.
