“Very
informative and easy to watch. Explores China, Japan, India and the Americas
from 500-1500 AD and explains the living conditions and developments that came
out of that time and how it has influenced our lives today. Much of the
information is new and very compelling. We love it!...”

sciences, and trade routes flourished during this era...voice-over narration
(accompanied by traditional music) describes artistic achievements, inventions
(paper, kites, silk), social customs, and Buddhism...Period artifacts and
contemporary location footage add visual diversity. Useful for making students
aware of ancient developing civilizations..."
