This series follows photojournalist and director David Adams on an epic journey into one of the most dangerous places on earth uncovering the history buried here. Inaccessible, ravaged by war, filmmakers have not dared journey into its realm until now. Amidst the small mountain towns and ruins of rural Afghanistan is the land of the mighty River Oxus. This was the final frontier of Alexander the Greats vast Empire. Using innovative 3D graphics, the programme creates sights from the Ancient Worlds that have remained unseen for millennia. For the first time on TV, ruins have been rebuilt; the course of the River Oxus has been shown; and long forgotten cities and fortresses are brought to life.
