China: the mandate of heaven -- Egypt: the habit of civilisation.
Hosted by Michael Wood.
China: the mandate of heaven: With great thinkers such as Confucius and Laozi, the Chinese conceived of civilization as reflecting cosmic harmony, sustained by civic and social virtue, ancient ritual, and reverence for ancestors. Many breakthroughs on which the modern world is based were discovered in China long ago - iron-casting, gunpowder, and even printing.
Egypt: the habit of civilisation: In the world's first great nation, the annual flooding of the Nile conferred not only fertility, but also a deep respect for social and cosmic stability, a belief in the resurrection of the dead, and the hope of eternal life. Ancient Egypt was the first great nation on earth and endured for thousands of years.
