SUN In this programme he investigates the impact on human SUN society of large numbers of people coming together in the SUN world's first cities between 5000 and 2000 BC. As they did SUN so, they developed new trade links, the first handwriting, SUN and new forms of leadership and beliefs. SUN All of these innovations are present in Neil's first object: SUN a small label made of hippo ivory that was attached to the SUN sandal that one of the earliest known kings of Egypt, King SUN Den, took his grave. The label not only depicts the king in SUN battle against unknown foes but also boasts the first SUN writing in this history of the world: hieroglyphs that SUN describe the king and his military conquests. Is this just SUN the first indication that there would never be civilisation SUN without war? SUN For his second item, Neil considers a set of mosaics from SUN the ancient Mesopotamian city of Ur, now in southern Iraq. SUN The Standard of Ur shows powerful images of battle and regal SUN life and remains remarkably well preserved given its four SUN and a half thousand year old history. Contributors include SUN sociologist Anthony Giddens, who discuss the growing SUN sophistication of societies at this time, and the SUN archaeologist Lamia Al-Gailani, who considers what Ancient SUN Mesopotamia means to the people of modern day Iraq. SUN Neil then moves on to the ancient city of Harappa which lies SUN around 150 miles north of Lahore in Pakistan. It was once SUN one of the great centres of a civilisation that has largely SUN disappeared, one with vast trade connections and boasting SUN several of the world's first cities. At a time when another SUN great civilisation was being forged along the banks of the SUN river Nile in Egypt, Neil investigates this much less SUN well-known civilisation on the banks of the Indus Valley. He SUN introduces us to a series of little stone seals that are SUN 4,500 years old, covered in carved images of animals and SUN probably used in trade. The civilisation built over 100 SUN cities, some with sophisticated sanitation systems, big SUN scale architecture and even designed around a modern grid SUN layout. The great modern architect Sir Richard Rogers SUN considers the urban planning of the Indus Valley, and the SUN historian Nayanjot Lahiri looks at how this lost SUN civilisation is remembered by both modern India and SUN Pakistan. SUN In Britain at that time, life was much simpler, although SUN trade links with Europe were well established. For his next SUN item, Neil tells the story of a beautiful piece of jade, SUN shaped into an axe head. It is about 6,000 years old and was SUN discovered near Canterbury in Kent but was made in the high SUN Alps. He tells the story of how this object may have been SUN used and traded and how its source was cunningly traced to SUN the heart of Europe. SUN For his final item in this programme, Neil celebrates the SUN arrival of writing into our history with a 5,000-year-old SUN clay tablet from Mesopotamia that deals not in poetry but in SUN describing the local beer. The philosopher John Searle SUN describes what the invention of writing does for the human SUN mind and Britain's top civil servant Gus O'Donnell considers SUN the tablet as an example of possibly the earliest SUN bureaucracy.
