The Series
Ancient Iraq is the setting for some of the greatest stories of the Bible; Noah’s Ark, the birthplace of Abraham and the Tower of Babel. Our cameras have been granted rare access to follow pioneering archaeologists as they investigate Iraq’s lost cities and discover the world of the Old Testament.
We follow teams rebuilding the wonders of Nineveh and Babylon, described in the Bible as cities of sin. Rare aerial footage reveals the majesty of Uruk in southern Iraq; and at Girsu, investigators uncover a mysterious set of ruins that could transform how we see the dawn of civilization itself.
