PBS had a similar thing a few months back called "Legacy", again
one hour per ancient civilization, which included (memory alert):
	Ancient Sumeria (Ur, Uruk, etc)
	Ancient China
	Ancient India
	Ancient Egypt
	Ancint Aztec (maybe Mayan and/or Inca as well, cant remember for sure)
	Something else. (Rome? Tie in to modern day?)

(I taped the whole thing, so I suppose I could look it up...)
