Afghanistan Exhibition & Niall Ferguson's "Civilization"

*'Afghanistan: Crossroads of the Ancient World', an exhibition with opened at the British Museum this month, showcases the treasures of the National Museum in Kabul. With over 200 works dating from 2000 BC to the 1st Century AD, and ranging from China to the Mediterranean, the exhibition reveals the significance of Afghanistan as a vibrant and multi-cultural trade centre at the very heart of the ancient Silk route.*



*Never one to shy away from big topics, celebrity historian Niall Ferguson tackles the subject of Civilization. Citing what he terms, 'the six killer apps' the West employed over the past 500 hundred years to dominate the world, he now poses the question, are we losing our lead to the rapidly emerging economical growth in China?*
