In 1999 the BBC screened a triology of hour-long documentaries on Nietzsche, Heidegger and Sartre. I’d completely forgotten about them until last week, when I was rooting through some old, mislabelled video tapes and happened upon the copies I’d dutifully made before mixing them up with Gordon Lui and 70s vampire flicks. Nowadays you can find pretty much anything and everything on the interweb -including, it turns out, these three films. Tags: Nietzsche Views: 15176 Rating: Posted By: admin |

The magnificent ancient city of pyramids at Caral in Peru hit the headlines in 2001. The site is a thousand years older than the earliest known civilization in the Americas and, at 2,627 BC, is as old as the pyramids of Egypt. Many now believe it is the fabled missing link of archeology - a 'mother city'. If so, then these extraordinary findings could finally answer one of the great questions of archeology: why did humans become civilized?
