netherlands' independent political aspirations, an expression of amsterdam as a free city at the center of the world. in the 17th century, the dutch city of amsterdam was the greatest economic power in the world, a vast marketplace where every kind of goods could be had-- pepper, whale oil, japanese lacquer, cloth, wine. the dutch became rich. they were the most urban society in europe-- literate, stable well-fed, and decently housed. they knew themselves to be fortunate. they strongly identified with the chosen people of the old testament with all that implied about obedience to god's will. in this peculiar new society artists couldn't look to the traditional sources of patronage. there was no royal court. the churches had no pictures, as we can see in this painting of the mariakerk in utrecht by pietersz saenredam. nevertheless, the netherlands experienced an explosion in the production and consumption of art. the first mass art market in history arose because for the first time ordinary people bought paintings, etchings, drawings. artists produced in large quantity for that market. the society was defining itself in

in the 16th century, venice was a city of spectacle and rhetoric, of theater and illusion. it saw itself as an ideal city as the modern culmination of the ancient city-state with its good life its humane values, its sense of play, even. and it dramatized itself as an ideal city both for its own inhabitants and for the world outside. this civic drama was acted out through processions, ceremonies, and spectacle, and through art and architecture but this grand illusion, whose stage was the city itself, was founded in reality. by the 1500s, venice claimed 1,000 years of history as a free and independent republic. the chill wind of economic change-- the decline of empire-- had not yet touched its self-confidence. it was still rich in trade and crafts. its imperial possessions still spread out across the mediterranean and into the italian mainland, as here at vicenza. so the theater and the spectacle were props for a powerful empire which had survived for so long by hardheaded business acumen, by skillful diplomacy, and when those failed, by sheer military force. the cast of char

city. philadelphia, throughout the 19th century, was the major industrial city of the united states. all of these industries used water from this system. and it served as a prototype for many american cities, including pittsburgh and new york. man: new york city went to philadelphia and said, "you know, we're thinking of developing a hudson river water supply -- what do you suggest we do?" and they said, "we've had "a lot of problems on the schuylkill. "don't go to the hudson river. go to the upland and work by gravity." and that's what new york city did. they first went to the hudson highlands, but 150 years later, it went to the delaware highlands. and really diverted the water that normally went to philadelphia to new york city. i don't think they anticipated that. narrator: the majority of new york city's drinking water comes from watersheds in upstate new york. a watershed is the area of land where water from rain or snow melt drains downhill into a body of water. mountains act as a funnel to feed rivers and lakes. and in this case, reservoirs. in the new york city system, water

, nor a country, the classic maya culture flourished from the third to the ninth century in a far flung collection of city-states. at palenque, tonina, bonampak and other cities, dynastic kings ruled absolutely, controlling trade and tribute. they presided over intricate hierarchies of nobles and officials at courts resplendent with works of art. maya culture, shrouded in a mystery as dense as the forests in which it took root, revealed itself fitfully over three centuries. when the ruins in the jungle were first discovered, there was no way of understanding how the civilization was organized. so it's really through the inscriptions that we've been able to identify kings, to find out their capitals, their seats of power. and through this, we recognize now that there were many kingdoms. there was no unified maya state. there wasn't even just a few states. there were many, many states. (narrator) the first inroads into understanding the maya were made by spanish missionaries in the 16th and 17th centuries who followed in the imperial wake of hernan cortes. their "discoveries" included the ruins at copan. bu

in the 4th century a.d., the empire finally crumbled. yet today, as in mexico city, life continues amidst the ruins of rome's former glory. the collapse of maya civilization was quite different. warfare and conquest cannot explain the total abandonment of these once grand cities. even if warfare had taken many lives, the maya population should have revived within a few generations. what could have caused such a widespread disaster ? 2,000 miles from the maya heartland, a similar puzzle intrigues archaeologists in the american southwest. nestled into the cliffs at mesa verde in colorado are the abandoned ruins of the anasazi, the ancient ones. at chaco canyon, in new mexico, the anasazi built great residential and ceremonial centers. sometime between the 11th and 13th centuries a.d., all of these communities were abandoned. in the southwestern corner of colorado, one group of anasazi flourished at a place called sand canyon. now overgrown with juniper and pinyon, sand canyon pueblo was once a thriving, densely populated town. here, a team of archaeologists is excavat

for four centuries after that, christians in europe looked to constantinople as the leading city in christendom, and this was its leading church. this clever dome-upon-dome construction was the biggest dome anywhere, until the cathedral of florence was finished during the renaissance 900 years later. the vast interior gives the impression of a golden weightless shell, gracefully disguising the massive overhead load supported by masterful byzantine engineering. 40 arched windows shed a soft light on the interior, showing off the church's original marble and glittering mosaics. but the byzantine empire collapsed in the 15th century, and hagia sophia was turned into a mosque. christian mosaics were plastered over, and new religious symbols replaced the old. this church was built to face jerusalem. mosques face mecca. when hagia sophia became a mosque, they couldn't move the church, but they could move the focal point of the praying. notice how the prayer niche is just a little bit off-center. that's because it faces mecca. >> funding for this program is >> funding for this program is provided by s
