Description: "Central America : the burden of time: Isolated from the rest of the world, the Mayans and Aztecs created sophisticated civilizations that in many ways paralleled ancient Mediterranean empires. God-like kings and a priestly ruling class dominated splendid cities of temples and pyramids."--Container.

"The barbarian West: Civilization arose in Asia, but it was the West which would create the first world culture. This final episode traces the origins of Western culture through Greece and Rome prevailing by borrowing from the legacies of the original five world civilizations."--Container.
