Ancient Worlds is about people and places, politics and economics, art and war, trade and technology, but above all it’s the story of the painful birth and difficult growth of a radical idea first tried and tested some six thousand years ago, and which we are still struggling with today; civilisation. Civilisation has not come easily; it’s something we’ve had to fight hard to achieve, and even harder to maintain, and the greatest threats to it have come from our own talents for destruction. But when we’ve managed to get it right, the benefits have been enormous.
　　When we talk about the ancient world we tend to think of rare and exotic artefacts or the monumental remains of epic architecture; but these are just the empty shells that got left behind when the tide of history turned! The living creatures, the civilisations, that once inhabited these shells were rarely if ever static or stately; they were dynamic, chaotic, and always threatening to spin out of control, because civilisation is based on an improbable idea; that strangers can live and work together in dense urban settings, forging new allegiances that replace the natural ties of family, clan or tribe. It’s an idea we’re still coming to terms with today, but one of the best ways to understand the challenges that are involved is to look at how our ancestors tackled them the first time around.
　　From ancient Iraq to Imperial Rome, Ancient Worlds examines how our ancestors struggled with the levers of religion and politics, art and culture, war and diplomacy, technology and trade in order to keep the complex machinery of their civilisations turning over. Their insights and blind-spots, their breakthroughs and dead ends, their triumphs and disasters are the milestones on the long and winding road that leads directly from their ancient to our modern world.

《一千种死法》是一部美国文献电视剧，2008年5月14日在Spike电视台首映。项目组对非自然死亡进行了重新创作并且在每种死法后面加上了一段采访，让专家阐述其中的科学道理，每一集的最后一个故事是对一些几乎导致惨剧的危险情景的真实录像，以及对场景中人们的采访。    《一千种死法》通过对数学计算，人体科学和真实生活事故展现了一系列非自然死亡情况，真实彷如亲临，本节目充满黑色幽默（特别是叙述语言），在死亡主题的沉重之余加以调剂。片中有真实场景再现表演，有专家讲解，有时还有目击者描述，也用到了计算机显影动画，类似于热播剧《犯罪现场调查》的手法。每段故事之前都有行报导来简单交代背景，结尾则以日常用语一语双关地概括。也有很多人认为“一千种死法”是告诉我们不该做什么，因为这些做法会致命。这一警告已在每集开头明确写出，告诫观众不要“尝试片中所示动作，这可是要命的。【引自剧中】”
