April's exclusive subscriber-only episode goes on a journey through some of the most awe-inspiring defensive structures of the ancient world. From the mysteries and history of the Great Wall of China, the fascinating life along Hadrian's Wall, the legendary city of Babylon to the impressive and often overlooked Sasanian Frontiers, including the formidable Great Wall of Gorgan. These great walls are so much more than stone, they're a testament to the ingenuity and power exerted by ancient civilisations through their monumental fortifications.
