Bettany Hughes explores the wonders of Oman; a land wedged between the vast Arabian Desert and the Indian Ocean. In this first episode, Bettany meets a team uncovering the archaeological remains of Oman's earliest societies in the Hajar mountains, who grew rich by supplying copper ore to the world. And she visits the glory of Bronze Age Oman: the site of the mysterious 5000-year-old beehive-shaped tombs. Finally, she discovers the story behind the Aflaj, an ancient irrigation system that became the backbone of the country's culture and growth over the last millennium.
