Engineering an Empire
I like this show so far. I would say that it’s main theme is “triumph of the human mind over nature”.
Each episode seems to start by introducing some problem(s) that ppl had in a specific place back in the days and then tries to explain how these problems were solved by feats of the human mind through engineering.
The show seems to cover many of the ancient civilizations as well as different eras of some of these civilizations.
