Aràbia/Arabia
Travel back to ancient Arabia as Calum, Kerry Anne and the History Hunters continue to bring history to life with fun facts, animations and experiments which show how inventions and discoveries from ancient times helped shape our everyday lives.
A millennium ago the Middle East was known as Persia or Arabia, an empire stretching from Europe to Africa and Asia. It was a golden age of storytelling and inventions, like the camera. With a modern camera for reference, the Hunters make a camera obscura using a blacked out room, a small hole and a screen.
In ancient Arabia, water and the sun were used to tell the time. To read the time Arabian style, we learn how to build a sundial and water clock from plastic bottles and tubing, and they work to the minute! In the studio Calum and Kerry Anne look at Arabian inventions like the clamshell grab, homemade perfume and a shadow theatre, and they have plenty to eat!
