Synopsis:

EMPIRES OF FAITH: Within the long history of civilisation there have been great eras of struggle, triumph and loss. Periods that reflect the best and the worst of humanity. These epic historical documentaries reflect people and passions that have changed the world. This beautiful gift box presents a special collection of bestsellers from the renowned series 'Empires' from PBS America, as seen on SBS TV. ISLAM: EMPIRE OF FAITH: Islam: Empire of Faith tells the spectacular story of the great sweep of Islamic power and faith during its first 1000 years. It is the epic story of a cultural empire that dominated a millennium, encompassed half the world, and shaped history. PETER AND PAUL AND THE CHRISTIAN REVOLUTION: Two thousand years ago, in the Roman province of Judea, Jesus was crucified by imperial troops. His memory was kept alive by a small band of Jews--men and women who held fast to their conviction that Jesus was the Messiah. In a brief span of time, this new religion would transcend its origins in the provinces of Rome and absorb the capital of the Empire itself. KINGDOM OF DAVID: THE SAGA OF THE ISRAELITES: The Kingdom of David: The Saga of the Israelites is the story of the creation of the world's first and most profoundly influential, monotheistic religion--a religion that dared to redefine humanity's relationship with God. EGYPT'S GOLDEN EMPIRE: From the most extraordinary period in Egyptian history: 1570 BC to 970 BC, when the Egyptian Empire reached its zenith. In 1570 BC, Rome was still a marsh and the Acropolis was an empty rock, Egypt was already 1,000 years old. Although the period of the pyramid-builders was long over, Egypt lay on the threshold of its greatest age.
