Images dominate our lives. They tell us how to behave, what to think and even how to feel. They mold and define us. But why do these images, the pictures, symbols and the art we see around us every day have such a powerful hold on us? The answer lies not here in our time, but thousands of years ago.

Because when our ancient ancestors first created the images that made sense of their world, they produced a visual legacy 1 which has helped to shape our own.

In this series, we'll be traveling around the globe, discovering the world's most stunning 2 treasures. We'll see how the struggles of early artists led to the triumphs of the world's great civilizations. Our journey will take us through a hundred thousand years of history.

We will be witnessing some of the extraordinary ceremonies of the world's oldest artistic 3 cultures. And we'll reveal how they unlock the deep secrets of ancient art. We will be hearing from the people who made these discoveries. "I have very vivid memories of looking up and seeing this huge barramundi fish on the ceiling, it was, uh, unforgettable."

And we will be using science to uncover how thousands of years ago the human mind drove us to create astonishing images.

You'll never look at our world the same way again, for this is the epic 4 story of how we humans made art and how art made us human.
