In the Beginnings
Philomena Cunk’s epic journey through human civilisation begins as she discovers our earliest achievements (the wheel and so on).
Philomena Cunk travels the world, heading down caves and up mountains in her search for mankind’s first moments. With the help of a variety of experts, she explains how the earliest societies were formed: from the easier ones to spell, like Rome and Greece, to the ones that are harder to spell, like Egypt and Mesopotamia.
