- Synopsis:
"Ancient Discoveries" changes the way we think about the distant past. While we entertain visions of a simpler, unsophisticated time, the truth is much more complicated and fascinating than we could possibly imagine. Countless modern inventions may have been conceived thousands of years ago in such far-away lands as ancient Egypt, Greece, Turkey and the Far East. Now, join the experts as they travel back through the millennia to see how our ancestors' grandest ideas mirror those of modern society. From the earliest mining machines and the technology that built some of our most impressive cities to the gruesome practices of ancient medicine, delve deep into the fascinating and often surprising world of ancient human civilisation. Filmed on location where historical events actually happened, and using cutting-edge CGI, this series will give you a new perspective on what you thought you knew about human history. - Actors:
