Millennium: a Thousand Years of History: Century of the Sword

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

Actor Ben Kingsley narrates this epic ten-part sweep through the last 1,000 years of world history.

The period AD 1000-1100 sees China as the most vibrant, open and technologically-advanced civilisation in the world. Christendom, on the other hand, is poor and marginalised.
