This is a well made documentary and, as is common with the modern trend, it relies heavily on actors playing out the story. Mostly such filmed sequences but linked by academic experts explaining the history. It works extremely well and all of the academics are mainstream and very able. Professor Lloyd Llewellyn-Jones Is particularly good and it must be a joy to study under him. Some minor irritations include some over emphasis on historically unproven incidents and not enough from Professor Ali Ansari, who, like Lllewellyn-Jones, really knows his stuff. A good series that is good on history and makes it clear where mythology is involved.
