Great documentary.As the title suggests, a history of the world in 2 hours (though, once you remove the ads it is more like 1.
I found this program on DVD from my public library. It is a "2-hour program" I suppose with commercials but the actual running time is about 87 minutes.
This is a great documentary showing the history of plant earth and human history, from the creation of our planet to the rise of mankind. Although a two hour documentary could not possibly show every detail of our history it does a very good job in illustrating the evolution of earth and humanity.
How convenient it is that a title that says" history of the world", it leaves out one of the most important civilizations of the world that is referred to as, "India". You talked about the Arabic numerals, but forgot to mention the country that discovered geometry, you mentioned the pyramids and failed to mention the "Taj Mahal", and more importantly the cave paintings of France were mentioned, but the "Ajanta and Ellora", was forgotten, you talked about the Chinese traders, but failed to even mention and devote even a minute on the richest country in the ancient world.
Nothing really happens in this program before 30 minutes have passed. The Narrator talks with this sensationalist voice, one would think it was the truth about the Kennedy assassination.
