So that's it. That's all 100 objects. All finished. Two million years ofÌý human history in just 100 things that our ancestors made and left behind.
So which was your favourite object? You can't remember? Well luckily for you we have something to nudge your memory.
For those of you struggling to think as far back as the clovis spear point or King Den's sandal label, here is a reminder for you. Allow us to present: A History of the World in Five Minutes.

I want to do so for my children to listen to, but there seems to be no option to download them all. I can't beleive one has to do 101 'save as' commands. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Considering the number of objects in the gallery I suspect we could have 100 more series and still not run out of objects to talk about.

@Paul: Very unique show, reminds me of Ken Clark's Civilization. Kudos to you and the team!!

Truly outstanding.
