Iraq : cradle of civilisation -- India : empire of the spirit.
Hosted by Michael Wood.
Iraq, cradle of civilisation: In places like Uruk and Eridu in what is now Iraq, humans founded the first cities nearly 6.000 years ago. They left us literature, astronomy, and mathematics, as well as lessons in overpopulation and environmental stewardship.
India, empire of the spirit: Beginning 5,000 years ago, the "Land of Seven Rivers" cultivated a tradition of nonviolence, renunciation of the material world, and a focus on humans' inner life. Today, these ideas survive in tension with the vestiges of Western colonialism.
