Description
Summary:Europe and Asia; geologically they are part of the same vast landmass, Eurasia. Shaped by a series of collisions, mountain ranges have been pushed up, valleys created and a once great ocean has come and gone. These events created conditions in which great civilisations could flourish and evidence of these events can be found across Eurasia, if you know where too look. Eurasia is the last programme in the BBC science series Rise of the Continents which looks at the events which have shaped the continents of the world, and the effect that this has had on the people who live there.
