Civilisation EP4#1

[thejustnosy]

There wasn't enough time to do everything. Clark's own words on the subject was that he did not "suppose that anyone could be so obtuse as to think I had forgotten about the great civilisations of the pre-Christian era and the east".

does someone know something about the opening music?

[Dannys998877]

@auF0 There are two musical credits for Episode 4, "Man: The Measure of All Things." They are " Ecca la Primavera", composed by Francesco Landini, and "La Deploration De Johannes Ockeghem", by Josquin de Pres. I believe the first is likely the opening theme.

There is an extreme bias in this series, I am not going to say racist at all however there is a very Eurocentric point of view. How can any series about "Civilisation" be made without addressing Egypt, Sumer and Ur, Persia, the number system 0-9 which was invented India, Algebra from the Middle East, the preservation of mathematics by Arab civilisation. Is it because during this period in antiquity Europeans were still living in tribes and huts? Civilisation without Egypt=WOW!

@theone1087 your nuts, its about european civilization, not egyptian or other ones. duh. of course its ethnocentric. its basically a biography of one civilization. its up to the olther great cultures to do their own series. it would be racist and colonialistic for a westerner to summarize egyptian, or chinese civilizations in this fashion. so put away your fifth grade education ideas and just learn from the film.

@reed1v Obviously sir this is about European Civilisation, however using the general form "Civilisation" in of itself to describe European Civilisation is voraciously flagrant to the highest degree. I shouldn't be surprised that Mr. Clark was blatantly ignorant, Anglophiliac and everything else phobic given this was made in the 60's. I don't know why your statement has an argumentative tone, we are in agreement. this is about Europe and all I am saying is it should be labelled as such.

@theone1087

This is about european civilisation, you idiot. If you wanna your own tv series about other civilisations, such as Egypt, just do it and stop bitching.

@theone1087 -How could anyone possibly make a video series regarding stupidity without? I have no idea how they managed, but they did.

See! Things are not all inclusive no matter how comprehensive.

By-the-way idiot. The oldest continually inhabited structure site found in the world so far is the Jericho tell. 15K years and counting.
