Very cool.
Watch the rise of human cities, beginning with [arguably] the world’s first city in 3700 BC and continuing up to the present.

I had a nice DK title about the rise of cities and their role as engines of change in my class library during my teaching days.

I'm reading the The Lost Civilization of Lemuria: The Rise and Fall of the World’s Oldest Culture and must say it's very interesting. Seems history is much like most everything, slanted by Agenda.

Well, since the topic has been raised....
A huge success in hardcover, The Killing of History argues that history today is in the clutches of literary and social theorists who have little respect for or training in the discipline. He believes that they deny the existence of truth and substitute radically chic theorizing for real knowledge about the past. The result is revolutionary and unprecedented: contemporary historians are increasingly obscuring the facts on which truth about the past is built. In The Killing of History, Windschuttle offers a devastating expose of these developments. This fascinating narrative leads us into a series of case histories that demonstrate how radical theory has attempted to replace the learning of traditional history with its own political agenda.
