The moment four ancient worlds - Rome, Egypt, the Aztecs and the samurai of Japan - faced disaster is brought to life in an epic new series. Drawing on the beautiful art and artefacts left behind by these four cultures, now held in the British Museum, we reveal the human stories at the heart of each crisis. Why did these powerful societies collapse? And what lessons can we learn from their fate?
