Neil MacGregor begins an omnibus edition of his celebrated series on the expression of shared beliefs in communities - around the world and across time. Exploring how communities articulate their understanding of the cosmos and their place in it, the former Director of the British Museum focuses on the significance of the daily return of the sun; the cleansing nature of water; the purifying properties of fire - and the significance of a 40,000 year old carving in mammoth ivory of a lion-man. Producer: Paul Kobrak The series is produced in partnership with the British Museum Photograph: (c) The Trustees of the British Museum.
