The Hunt for a Lost Eastern Civilization and Other Ancient Mysteries

This feature length documentary challenges the idea that civilization flowed only from ancient Greece to the East, arguing that Alexander the Great encountered advanced cultures that predated even the Persians. Spanning several hours of exploration, it visits forgotten cities and archaeological puzzles across the ancient world. It weaves together the histories of lost civilizations and the mysteries that still surround their rise and fall. A rich, immersive watch for anyone fascinated by ancient history and the origins of the East. Free to watch in HD on Dr Documentary.
