Ancient Global Warming

S01 E01 • Monday, Mar 14, 2022 • Mar 14 • 45m

Professor Alice Roberts charts the rise of civilisation from 6100BCE to the end of the Bronze Age. 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.

Rome’s Rise and Fall

S01 E02 • Monday, Mar 21, 2022 • Mar 21 • 45m

Professor Alice Roberts looks at the rise of one of history’s greatest civilisations, the Roman Empire, asking, what was the secret to its success? Experts explore the empire, investigating newly discovered battlegrounds in Britain and Spain to find out how Rome defeated her enemies, making her one of the world’s first superpowers. Alice also discovers how Rome herself suffered military disaster in the forests of Germany, but how her eventual downfall was the enemy within – the decadence and misrule of the emperors that were Rome’s real curse.

The Darkest Age

S01 E03 • Monday, Mar 28, 2022 • Mar 28 • 45m

The disastrous final days of the Roman Empire are examined in this episode, including the cataclysmic power vacuum following its collapse and the effects felt even beyond the Empire’s borders. Once known as the Dark Ages, this period saw kingdoms rise and fall, cities wiped out by invasion, and plague ravage Europe and the Middle East. Despite these disasters, archaeologists are revealing a world where trade continued, cultures flourished, and new world religions emerged and spread. Alice reveals how humankind continued to prosper even during the darkest of times.

God’s Holy Warriors

S01 E04 • Monday, Apr 4, 2022 • Apr 4 • 45m

Professor Alice Roberts reveals how archaeologists are shedding light on one of history’s most mysterious periods. For three hundred years after the collapse of Rome, Saxons and Vikings rampaged through Europe, but then these pagan societies seemed to disappear. From new discoveries of Viking settlements and burials in Scandinavia, to the last stand of paganism against Christendom in Poland, Alice reveals the catastrophes, calamities and disasters which helped shape modern Europe.

Medieval Mystery

S01 E05 • Monday, Apr 11, 2022 • Apr 11 • 45m

In the final episode of Curse of the Ancients, Professor Alice Roberts looks at one of the most cursed periods in European history - the Middle Ages. Archaeologists reveal how wars, such as the Mongol invasion of Hungary, the Black Death that wiped out up to half of Europe’s population, and climate change causing cataclysmic floods – turned our ancestors’ world upside down. Death was a part of everyday life. With such calamities, Western society was on the verge of collapse. So how did it survive, and how did these catastrophes lay the foundation for the modern world?
