Civilizations (2018)

The Second Moment of Creation (1x1)

:

The first film in the series looks at the role that art and creative imagination has played in the forging of humanity itself. We attempt to define what civilization is – by identifying what it isn’t. We look at the story of the first marks made 80,000 years ago and chart the first flowering of art in the West. We see Petra - a city carved into rock – and uncover the mysterious and astonishing masks of Sanxingdui in China, before we explore how civilizations rise and fall. U.S. version narrated by Liev Schreiber.
