Do civilizations follow a pattern? Flinders Petrie thought so. Drawing on a lifetime in the ground, he argues that cultures rise and fall in measurable waves, that art peaks before power does, and that the sequence repeats. Provocative, schematic, and very much of its moment. You will discover a great excavator trying to turn archaeology into law. Bold, and wrong in interesting ways. Press play and judge it yourself.
