The beginning of part 2, Church Choir music is beautiful. Does anyone know what its called?

those shots at the university library are an amazing piece of documentation

One is most certainly a sucker for this kind of thing, and am glad to have watched it only 55 years after it was made, but KC isn't half full of crap.

Leonardo da Vinci was the greatest mind of all times, in my opinion. Well possibly Aristotle

From what I have heard, the high audiovisual quality comes from it being shot using film, then transferred to magnetic tape for broadcast.

So glad I found this. Thank you so much for uploading!

What a generous gift he has left for us. Much gratitude for his connoisseurship , humanity, and subtle wit .

I dnot know why i am intetested in history.

Great program. But to equivocate "civilisation" to "western christianity"....I guess we've made progress since then. :)

BBC was able to produce such erudite work a far cry from today's decadence and mental lobotomy.

This is an excellent documentary however told entirely from the point of view of Western Europe. Very one sided.

civilization is a lot like pornography - i may not be able to describe it, but i know it when i see it !

Thank you VERY much GoldenThread !!!

Can Civilised European Man vanish? You bet your socks! Post modernity; woke-ism; multi-3rd-world-culturalism will see to it. 😢

Thanks for putting this series up, hombre. It does rather put one's day to day problems in their place and remind us of what continues to makes the West great. "Salve" from rural Spain, where the olive oil still flows on terraces built under the Romans.

It’s happening right now! The barbarians, internal and external, are laying waste to western civilization as we breathe. Get out now before it’s too late.

SHARED WITH A FRIEND: We are now in a period where we are actively promoting division and ignorance. However in all times of restriction something new is born and humanity takes the minutest step towards our purpose. What that purpose is is for us to decide. It doesn’t happen in one lifetime but over multitudes. We are part of only a tiny tiny slither of it all. Ego is so corrupting and we particularly in modern western society are taught to believe that we are somehow ‘special’ but that is a lie. We are not just part of the human species but part of the life of this planet. We are the conscience of this place but we struggle to grasp it. I suspect you’ll think I’m on another ramble yet you’ve always shown some interest in what I say. I still think we are in for tough times however I have hope.

Haven't times changed? Dated, inaccurate and pomposity on a stick. It's focused on unimportant aspects but connected to real history so he's not shooting completely in the dark. He just doesn't quite get it. Nonetheless, it's worth watching for his idiosyncrasies and his portrayal of himself more than the weak history he includes. Fascinating on many levels.

good piece of information

Please finish!

33:52 37:12 42:53 47:08 48:41 nobody reads anymore 1:06:57 1:17:36 !

Is that Princess Margaret's cigarette holder.... ? Can you imagine the sort of person which wants a cigarette to be his marker? Even then you wouldn't choose it. May as well be holding a glass of beer. I won't be listening to this...

3:17:50 Does anyone know the name of the piece that plays during the intro/credits of Part 5?

A legendary series. My parents had the book. I can’t believe how long ago this was. Still magnificent though.

I learned recently that this entire series was commissioned by David Attenborough to show off BBC2's new color broadcasting. When seen through that lens, this series makes so much more sense. Some people who haven't seen it (including my younger self) think it's a xenophobic or uncaring to other cultures, but after the first episode the question of who is 'civilized' and who is not is really dropped altogether. Clark made a series on Western art because that was his expertise; the civilization question was really just a device to tie the series together. I find his commentary balanced and refreshingly honest, especially his critique of the obtuseness of modern art. When taken for what it is, a series on art to show the possibilities of color TV, with amazing cinematography and thoughtful commentary, it's an enthralling and still poignant piece of art itself.

Dreadful music. People were so full of shit pretending to like that.

Clark teaches us how to think and the media today tells us what to think -

Anyone know the location @1:06:57? - I wonder how it looks today.

Great documentary!! Thank you for sharing. One of youtube treasures.

You see this (searching for group approval and scapegoating) every day and in every way in every setting. It's depressing. Robert Barron (Catholic bishop) has some interesting videos on his take on Girard on here.

All being destroyed by Islamic Invasion of the West.

Does anybody know what the song is around the 1:32:00 mark? much appreciated

Can anyone point me towards sources about conspirazio?

🧐

The snarky casual racist remarks are like comic relief today. Outstanding quality overall.

What a documentary…

Thanks for posting. Because most of the original series was struck from UA-cam, I just went to ThriftBooks and bought the last remaining DVD set..

"There is one God and Muhammad is his prophet - the simplest doctrine that has ever gained acceptance." What a hallmark of blatant arrogance! ...I appreciate this series though for what it might have been back in the day, but sentences like this are just scratching my ears.

Chapter 2 when?

The sheer ignorance of people who say that "white people have no culture" is illustrated here. We have virtually ALL the culture.

the barbarians have entered the gates again

Clark is in himself a work of civilisation. Elegant, intellectual, cultured, refined, he is the epitome of what it means to be a civilised human being and gentleman. .

🎶WELL, THE LEGEND KEEPS SPREADIN AND IT DON'T STOP SPREADIN AND IT DON'T STOP SPREADIN AND IT DON'T STOP SPREADIN AND IT DON'T STOP SPREADIN AND IT DON'T STOP SPREADIN

"condemned for treachery" ?!? I think he wanted to say "for treason". But as Lord Clark would have admitted himself: all men on this spinning rock in space are fallible, except one.

Thank you, TGT, and KC, of course... .

I love this series. I worked in a university AV library and borrowed the whole set over holidays. Amazing.

Thank you for presenting this.
