Past and present (documentary) Reviewed by Lisa Dunton

Episode 6: Lessons from the past (DTV 9 p.m.)

In the last episode of his series about how ancient civilizations have shaped the modern world,
Dr. Aidan Swift looked at why some of the most successful societies from the past collapsed.
At the end of the show, Dr. Swift warns us that we’ll suffer the same fate unless we learn from
their mistakes.
No expense had been spared as Dr. Swift, with his mad scientist haircut, was flown to exotic
locations around the globe to gather evidence for his theories. From the majestic columns and
temples of the Mayan city of Chichén Itzá in Mexico, we were taken to Easter Island, with its
iconic moai statues, and then to the barren beauty of Greenland, where a Norse population
survived for over four centuries. What caused the downfall of these once-great civilizations?
Overpopulation, disease, and war all played a part, according to Dr. Swift, but it was damage
to the environment that really finished them off. Given the evidence, it was hard to disagree with
his conclusions.
In the case of the Easter Islanders, they apparently had to cut down so many trees to move those
enormous statues around that eventually none were left, leaving them without their main source
of food and transportation. Diseases brought by European settlers are then thought to have
wiped out most of those who had survived the consequences of deforestation.
Dr. Swift’s message was that these societies might have survived if they’d respected their
environment. He has said he believes we’re on the edge of a similar disaster and that if we
stopped destroying the environment immediately, we might just prevent our own downfall. But
he wasn’t optimistic, arguing that if we really understood the dangers, we’d have taken action
already.
On the whole, I found the show extremely thought-provoking. It was beautifully filmed, though
at times it would have been nice to see more of the site and less of Dr. Swift in his 1970s safari
suit (did they make cuts in the costume department to pay for all that traveling?). Personally,
I’d have preferred less diversity and more detail too. I found myself wanting to know more about
those lost civilizations. Yet despite this, it’s well worth watching online if you missed this episode.

You’ll enjoy it as long as you’re not expecting a happy ending!
