Bronze Age

Spanning nearly two millennia beginning around 3000 BC, The Bronze Age explores one of the most transformative eras in human history, when the lands surrounding the Mediterranean, Aegean, Mesopotamia, and Egypt gave rise to sophisticated societies, expanding cities, and enduring cultural achievements. Fueled by the widespread use of bronze for tools, weapons, and art, this period marked a dramatic shift in how communities organized, traded, fought, and expressed themselves.

Across the series, viewers encounter the defining developments that distinguished Bronze Age civilizations. Formal writing systems emerged, from cuneiform in Mesopotamia to hieroglyphs in Egypt, enabling record keeping, governance, and complex administration. Expanding trade networks connected distant regions, powerful rulers consolidated authority, and technological advances reshaped agriculture and warfare. Through archaeological discoveries and expert insight, The Bronze Age reveals how innovation in metalworking, communication, and urban design laid the foundations for the classical world and permanently altered the course of human civilization.
