Sky HistoryCurse of the Ancients is an American documentary which aired on History. The series premiered on March 14, 2022.
In this exciting five-part history series, 'Curse of the Ancients' Professor Alice Roberts reveals how scientists are unearthing the evidence for cataclysmic events in the past and their disastrous consequences. From wars to earthquakes and floods to famines – these are the events that have helped shape our modern world. In each episode, Alice takes viewers on a journey across Europe and North Africa to discover epic sites and landmarks - fabulous cities abandoned, battlefields long forgotten and sophisticated civilisations toppled and lost to the mists of time. To our ancient ancestors, suffering these catastrophic events, it must have seemed they were cursed but science is now exploding those myths and re-writing history.

I've been watching quite a few documentaries like this lately. This one is also fine. History is told through wars, disasters and pandemics. It turns out that we have had quite a few of these, often with major impacts on history and the development and fall of civilizations. The whole thing is narrated by Professor Alice Roberts, who does this in a calm, clear and sympathetic manner. If you're into history, a lot is already quite known, but there were also a few very surprising things and it turns out that some events had different reasons and causes than I thought. This is another one of those series that I really learned something from. And with a nice presenter and beautiful images. A lot is re-enacted and the necessary attention has also been put into it. It all looks fine. I wonder if this will be continued. I'm allowed!
