Attenborough looks at man's attitude towards nature from the rise of ancient Egypt to the fall of the Roman Empire, the transformation of the lands around the Mediterranean due to human migration, wars and the growth of trade in medieval times, the discovery of the New World and how the cutting of the Suez Canal introduced new species to the area. ## Images ![First Eden (Repackaged) [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71u5Kcc-RML.jpg) ![First Eden (Repackaged) [DVD] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Daf5xz51L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars David Attenborough - simply the best *by M***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 February 2013* I awarded this vidoe five stars because David Attenborough has that wonderfull skill of communicating his feelings and knowlege. being very educated in your chosen subject is one thing, being able to put that over to others is another. David Attenborough has that ability.Although this series goes back a little, it is still a wonderfull insight into the the Mediterranean world, the people that lived and moved around it, and how the sea and the land around it, effected their lives.A very interesting and educational video. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent! *by J***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 March 2013* Attenborough does it again. This is totally biased, as I am a great fan of his. This series was unknown to me, having never seen it in America. I found the relationships between the natural world and the ancient civilizations quite interesting. It really educated me on the evolution of the Mediterranean, and in a very entertaining way. Some beautiful photography and the usual superlative narrative. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Eden Despoiled *by N***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 July 2014* I am not that big an Attenborough fan, but in this series from 1987 he does more than remark on natural history, but expands his insight and commentary to include man. There are four 55-minute episodes presented in their original 4:3 ratio.It is a shame that only five minutes is spent of the opening episode in explaining the geological creation of the Mediterranean. But Attenborough’s coverage of its flora and fauna covers virtually every part: from Morocco in the west to Turkey in the east; from Egypt in the south to France in the north; and many of the islands inbetween. All countries with a shoreline feature except three: Algeria, Lebanon, and Albania.Mammals, reptiles, birds, fish (indigenous and migratory) all feature, along with many examples of the Mediterranean’s flora. Each is of interest in their own right, but there is often a lack of cohesion as we move from one to another, especially in the opening episode, ‘The Making of the Garden’.Early man appears on the scene towards the end of this first episode. In episode two – ‘The Gods Enslaved’ – Attenborough muses on man’s husbanding of animal resources ten thousand years ago along with the subsequent rise of the first civilisations and their worship of the tamed bull. The cultivation of olives and wine and the harvesting of fish are also featured, but it is the cult of the bull that is predominant, remaining a feature of human life up to and beyond the arrival of Christianity. But where nature was once seen as divine, now it is man; and the natural world suffered.If the bull dominates episode two, it is the horse in the next, titled ‘The Wastes of War’, when the Mediterranean almost became an Islamic lake. This was a time when horsemanship was supreme, peacocks paraded in gardens, and pigeons were bred for food. But the wastes of war also witnessed the denudation of forests and woods by man in order to construct navies.The final episode is depressing. ‘Strangers in the Garden’ at first looks at new species introduced to the sea and its littoral, but the real pest is man. Not just the depredations of modern tourism – and Attenborough is here rightly scathing of the ludicrous forms modern tourism takes – but also the problems of overfishing, and of the pollution in myriad forms. Have things got better over the last twenty to thirty years? Alas, there are no extras on this DVD set to tell us. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/54314287-first-eden-repackaged-dvd](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/54314287-first-eden-repackaged-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
