In the Introduction to the episode on China, supposedly about the First Emperor (259 BCE - 210 BCE) who ended the Warring States period and unified China, shots of The Forbidden City were included leading any historically uninformed viewer to assume it existed during that time. Construction didn't even begin until the 1400's....CE!! This is so irresponsible, so egregious, that I will not watch further. The problem is obviously not one of insufficient financing, a lot of money has been spent on this nonsense. So many young people get their history from films and "documentaries" these days.....what a disservice this does to them.
