Bettany Hughes’ Treasures Of The World “Oman” (Channel 4 Saturday 1 April 2023)
Bettany Hughes’ Treasures Of The World airs a new episode tonight Saturday 1 April 2023 on Channel 4.
“Oman” Professor Bettany Hughes travels to ancient archaeological sites that illuminate the modern human story of civilisation, championing what ordinary people can achieve through sheer force of will and inspiration by gaining unprecedented access to unfolding excavations and some of the best finds in recent years. These are untold tales, told by unseen voices, set in exceptional yet frequently ignored locations.
In this segment, Bettany discovers the ruins of a civilization that became wealthy by exporting copper metal around the globe. The mysterious beehive-shaped tombs dating back 5,000 years, which she sees, are the crown jewel of Bronze Age Oman.
Bettany learns how frankincense, once one of the most sought-after products on the planet, is still harvested by tribal families today, and uncovers an ancient irrigation system that shaped the country’s culture and civilization over the last millennium.
She finally makes it to the wild terrain of the Musandam Peninsula, where a distinct culture and language are being preserved, by boat.
Airdate: Saturday 1 April 2023 at 7.00pm on Channel 4.
