The production demonstrates that ancient man displayed a far superior mind and technology than is innately present in modern man's grasp. It likewise is a testimony to the ancients' persistence and focus of purpose as contrasted to those of us today who are so easily distracted and seek mere entertainment. Some of the reviewers cited here reinforce that reality by their seeking a production that is spoon fed to their lazy minds. Complaints about the narrators accent shows that they expect everyone who speaks English or has learned English as a second language will pronounce every word precisely as an American would. Try watching any British production. Many of the words which are claimed to be mispronounced are accurately pronounced outside the USA. I suggest turning on your closed captioning. And as far as the rapidity of her speech, the production was 2 hours and 18 minutes as it stands.. Think how long it would have had to have been if she slowed down. Yes, there is a lot of information but worth the effort if we could have the patience of our ancient ancestors in assimilating it.
