Could be great with better narrator

I love this topic and was so keen to watch it.

But the narration is unbearable.

It is so obvious the the narrator has no comprehension what she's talking about.

Monotonous, dull, such a pity that the work of so many people is ruined this way.

Unintelligible narration, subtitles required

The narrator gets 7/10 for impersonating an incomprehensible AI bot.

Names, places and words are either blurred into one, incorrectly shortened or just pronounced wrong making it unintelligible.

I was looking forward to this, but unfortunately the fast talking monotonous speaker gave me too much anxiety and I had to stop.

Fascinating..but marred by the narration

I've always been fascinated by ancient civilisations so after watching nearly all of what Netflix and Prime had to offer me during the numerous lockdowns, this was a joy to find. I agree the narration completely lets it down. The pronunciation of some words by the narrator isn't an issue. The problem is the speed of the narration which I don't think is down to the narrator herself as it started off fine but then suddenly in parts turns into 500 words a minute, which sounds like it had been speeded up in editing possibly to shorten the length of the film. This also makes it sound toneless and as if the narrator is reading from a script which unfortunately for her will not do her career any favours. So I had to resort to turning on the subtitles and changed the volume to enhance the music so the narration wasn't so distracting and it then turned into a great documentary. I recommend doing the same rather than give up on the film as it is well worth a watch.
