Perished Nations 1/Perished Nations 2

Synopsis: Two programmes from the series based on the works of the Turkish author and thinker Harun Yahya, who promotes a creationist view of Islam. Throughout world history, a great many very different civilisations have grown up, ruled for a while, and then faded away when their time came. Despite all their power and wealth, they disappeared off the face of the earth. This film examines past societies that were destroyed, it is argued, because of their rebellion against Allah, such as the people of Ad, the people of Lut, and the end of Pompeii.

The second film deals with "The People of Saba" who lived in a beautiful area with fertile vineyards and gardens before they were suddenly submerged under the waters of the Arim Flood. Also tells the story of Pharoah, who refused to listen the Prophet Musa and his brother Harun when they told him of God’s commands, and how he was buried under the water with his army.
