“Mexico’s Great Pyramids”



“It is a two thousand-year-old urban wonder. The vast city of Teotihuacan covered eight square miles, and at its zenith, was the seventh-largest city in the ancient world. But the Teotihuacanos never developed a writing system, and left behind no sculptures to hint at their culture and beliefs. In their sacred caves and enigmatic murals, archaeologists are searching for clues to the society that built this stunning city. Who were their kings and priests? Why did they build the Pyramids? Did they, like their Maya neighbors, practice human sacrifice?


‘MEXICO’S GREAT PYRAMIDS’ is an in-depth look at the mysterious, 2,000 year city. From the Aztecs, who claimed it as their own, to the teams of archaeologists who are only now starting to excavate, unravel the strange history of this massive city. Walk the Avenue of the Dead and climb the ancient walls of the Temple of the Feathered Serpent in a tour of the incredible ruins, and see the latest finds that are helping unravel the mysteries of the Teotihuacanos.”

“Japan’s Mysterious Pyramids”



“Do undersea relics near Okinawa offer proof of a sophisticated
civilization during the last ice age? Archeologists have long believed
that civilization as we define it — intelligent, tool-making, monument
building, social humans — began about 5,000 years ago. But submerged
beneath the waves near the Japanese island of Yonaguni is evidence
that may well overturn that long-held theory.


A small but persuasive number of scholars and scientists have long
thought that “advanced” societies may have existed as long as 10,000
years ago. Their theories, however well reasoned and defended, have
been hamstrung by a lack of evidence. But recent discoveries of
man-made artifacts on the Pacific seafloor may well prove to be
the smoking gun that will propel this alternative view of civilization
to prominence.
‘HISTORY’S MYSTERIES’
travels to the site and plunges beneath the waves to examine the
discovery, and talks to the investigators who are trying to unearth
the secrets it holds.


The answers remain unknown, but the questions themselves may forever
change some of the most basic assumptions about our past.”

“America’s Stonehenge”



“The site is a “gigantic confusion” of walls, caves and
tunnels running across 30 acres of hillside in Salem, New Hampshire,
assembled from stones that weigh up to eleven tons. It is called
Mystery Hill, but it is better known as AMERICA’S STONEHENGE.

History’s
MysteriesTM explores the site and analyzes the latest findings with
the archeologists and other scholars who are trying to unlock its
many secrets. Since it was first found, many conflicting ideas have
been put forth about its origins, and we’ll hear from proponents
of several leading theories. But the essential question remains
unanswered: what North American culture, 4,000 years before the
birth of Christ, was sophisticated enough to build AMERICA’S STONEHENGE?”

Journey

GRAIL. Ancient legends say the relic was transported to Britain

web of stories surrounding the Grail in search of clues to its existence
and purported powers. Is it possible that the Grail is a pathway
to a higher power, or that the descendants of Jesus walk among us
today, protected by the Grail’s power?.

“The Mysteries of King Tut”



“The Ancient Egyptians went to incredible lengths to protect
the spirits of their dead kings, hiding their graves in vast deserts
and guarding their tombs with traps and deception. Yet only one
tomb– that of the boy-king Tutankhamun–went undiscovered by ancient
grave robbers. In 1922, archaeologist Howard Carter unsealed Tut’s
grave, revealing a treasure that defied description. But did he
uncover something else as well?
