Between the Middle Eastern rivers of Tigris and Euphrates, the world's first cities, Ur and Babylon, were built out of mudbrick and grew into vast empires. See how recent excavations are rewriting the first chapter in man's long journey to civilization. Then track how these ancient societies expanded to Africa, Europe, and ultimately became inexorably linked with the Western world, thanks, in large part, to the conquests of Alexander the Great. ==See Also== {{http://www.smithsonianchannel.com/sc/web/series/1003447/east-meets-west#episode-guide|Smithsonian Channel}} ==Trailer== ,,Full Version Available Upon Request,, {{ youtube> }} ==Full Version== \\ \\ ,,The availability of this link might be uncertain!,,\\ ,,Full version is available upon request.,,\\ ,,Full Version is Episonde 2.,, {{ youtube>2nznATCvo5Y }} \\ \\ \\ {{tag>HD Society Philosophy Alexander_the_Great Religion Islam Smithsonian_Channel SER Smithsonian_Channel_-_East_Meets_West_Series_1_(2014) FF 2014 Ar10/14 Name}}
