A 30-part landmark series for BBC Radio 4, written and presented by
Neil MacGregor 'The new blockbuster by the museums maestro Neil
MacGregor ... The man who chronicles world history through objects
is back ... examining a new set of objects to explore the theme of
faith in society' Sunday Times In this major new BBC radio series,
Neil MacGregor investigates the role and expression of shared
beliefs through time and around the world. Using specially selected
objects from the British Museum and beyond, talking to experts from
various disciplines and visiting key locations from the river
Ganges to Jerusalem, he examines how rituals and systems of belief
have shaped our societies. Looking at communities from the distant
past to the present day, both in Europe and worldwide, his focus
moves from the beginnings of belief and the elemental worship of
fire, water and the sun, through festivals, pilgrimages and
sacrifices, to power struggles and political battles between faiths
and states. Among the objects featured are the Lion Man, a small
ivory sculpture which is about 40,000 years old; a 16th century
ivory and gold qibla, used to find the direction of Mecca; and the
Lampedusa Cross, made from pieces of a refugee boat wrecked off the
Italian coast in 2013. Produced by BBC Radio 4 in partnership with
the British Museum, this enlightening series explores humanity's
enduring need to believe, belong and connect with the cosmos.
Duration: 6 hours 50 mins.
