Thanks British Museum for rob all the precious objects around the world and show us these in a video, when those most art in the originals countries, making proud them selfs of they history. (and some is proud for featuring 2 or 3 fucking objects, jaja)

[Iketheknife]

All dead artifact of dead civilizations.

[ryviuz]

thanks BBC, for featuring 2 objects from Java (Borobudur's Buddha statue and Wayang)

[Nushicat]

Are these in order though? I'm pretty sure some aren't.

@MrMudkipKing Ha! XD

@johncrwarner The programmes are 15 minutes.

[cgtravers]

Here are ALL 100 objects from the BBC4 Radio series A HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN 100 OBJECTS. The series was oddly compelling - arguably the best the BBC have ever done. I couldn't stop listening. They have a great website too showing all the objects in great detail.

[robldwhite]

superb

[SumDoood]

I've enjoyed the series very much, but this is too fast to be enjoyable and seems almost pointless, like a poster for a show that's already left town. I didn't even watch it all.

[mrsbrown333]

what..wait..you show the Goddess Tara and talk about her knockers? come on..

[Ives56]

its borin

[sc400575]

Woah.. slow down. Can we have one in 15 minutes please with the same images?

[johncrwarner]

@sc400575

You can download the series from the BBC website - it is 100 5 minute programmes - this is like a trailer or a summary.

[MrMudkipKing]

Its like the editor just said 'get on with it!' I'm off duty in 5 minites

[P3t3rG1]

While I love 100 objects there is much more to history untold. Great series, thank you.

[mirandabone]

That's some pretty cool stuff, but the guy kinda drones on a bit :/
