Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
58Watch it awake.
Useful. A record of work and of vanity. Watch it for the work.
The review
A wonder is often a tomb or a boast that took a city's labor. The honest documentary says both: the skill was real, and the person who ordered it may have been spending lives to be remembered. Use this with an older child who can hold those two facts. Turn it off if it becomes a list of spectacles with no one sweating.
Good beside you. Ask who cut the stone, and whether their own house still stood.

The glance
Household and Courage are the thin ones.
Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
The Civil War
76 instead of 58
The Civil War is still a documentary show, and it scores 76 instead of 58. What you gain is household: The letters are from households.
The eight
- 8Industry
Stone, labor, engineering. The series is about people who finished enormous jobs.
- 3Household
Kings and tombs more than kitchens. A household is rarely the wonder.
- 5Piety
Room for the scale of a thing made for a god or a dead man. The series does not have to share the worship.
- 4Courage
The courage belongs to the unnamed hands. The credit usually belongs to the ruler.
- 6Republic
A public work is a kind of republic, even when a tyrant ordered it.
- 6Temperance
It can describe glory without drooling. It sometimes drools.
- 7Truth
It prefers the account of how the thing stood to the legend on the plaque.
- 7Stewardship
The question under it is what we bother to keep, and for whom.
