Summary |
For thousands of years, frankincense - an aromatic resin - was valued more highly than gold. Believing its sweet smelling smoke had healing powers, it was popular with Pharaohs, Kings and Roman Emperors. Their insatiable demand created trade routes spanning from the Arabian Sea to the shores of the Mediterranean. In this new four-part series, presenter Kate Humble travels on an ancient and epic 3,000 kilometre journey along the route that first joined East and West.
