Companion to the major new BBC documentary series Civilisations, presented by Mary Beard, David Olusoga & Simon Schama
The idea of civilisation has always been debated, even fought over. At the heart of those debates lies the big question of how people
- from prehistory to the present day
- have depicted themselves & others, both human & divine.
Distinguished historian Mary Beard explores how art has shaped, & been shaped by, the people who created it. How have we looked at these images? Why have they sometimes been so contentious?
