Engineering an Empire: Collectors Edition



Fascinating!
This is a great series. Fascinating from beginning to end. Really makes you think and amazes you by what people were able to accomplish centuries ago that we think of as modern technology.

Highly recommended! One of the best buys I have ever made.

Informative and Comprehensive - missing subtitles though
Ordered this for my son and we viewed the episodes of Egypt and Rome so far.
They were very informative and comprehensive. Especially the concept of
Arches and Aquaducts by the Romans.

One shortfall i had was that the DVD is missing SUBTITLES. I find it
hard to grasp some of the words mentioned by the authors and particularly
when they are explaining the engineering concepts.

Since the key element of the DVD is commentary by scholars, i'm very
surprised and deeply dissapointed by the missing subtitles.

Worth it
What an excellent look at history! The roman video wad my favorite. I think it a must for history buffs.
