    Terribly inaccurate

    I teach World History so I am always looking to watch documentaries over the content that I teach. Within 3 minutes of episode 1, the first inaccuracy is stated. Talks about how Julius Caesar ordered games in the Colosseum yo celebrate him returning to Rome. Ummmmm......It's construction began 100 years after he was killed. I stopped it right there. Not interested if they can't even get something that is so elementary.

    Not adequate to be called documentary

    Much of the facts omitted, no in depth analysis of cause and effect. And when you are talking about greatest Empires in history, Ottoman's should follow Rome.

    Terrible innacurate

    There are many errors, inaccuracies, and sensationalism. The chapter on the Aztecs (which ruled in North America not in Central America) is the worst, telling more the story of Spanish invasion and depicting Mayan -no Aztec- ruins

    Shamefully inaccurate

    Go to any library to realize how insultingly false episode 3 really is. The producers conveniently claim that they offer the most recent information about ancient Egypt, but that still doesn't justify the falsehoods about Ramses II and the reasons for the fall of the Golden Age of Egypt. The set design and costumes are comedic. If you want comedy, this is the place.

    No mention of the Persian empire, are you kidding?!

    Cyrus the great, Darius I, Xerses not even discussed. Well Darius III and Xerses were mentioned in passing. But the Persian empire was otherwise ignored completely. I'm speechless...
