Customer Reviews of Ancient Civilizations 6 Disc Set
Dull and Uninformative I've watched many films about ancient civilizations and this is one of the dullest and most uninsightful I've ever watched. The set is titled ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS but as you watch the first 2 DVDs they are titled "Great Cities of the Ancient World'. The first 4 DVDs basically just examine present ruins ( Rome, Pompeii, several Greek regions, Egyptian ruins and Mayan and Aztec Ruins).The ruins are discussed then computer graphics are used to reconstruct what they might have looked like in their full glory. If you decide to travel to these regions it might actually be very useful to take along and appreciate what the present day sight might have looked like in the past.
I found the Rome and Greek DVD very poor. The best one was the Mayan and Aztec DVD and offered more insight into the culture and history of these people. It was also more dramatic and offered some original perspective on the reason and history of sacrifice.
I would recommend a host of other titles over this set. As a series giving a general overview of many civilizations, Time Life's "LOST CIVILIZATIONS" is far superior.
