When Mt. Vesuvius erupted 2000 years ago, it buried the towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum.

Archaeologists are finding that many of those who didn’t survive belong to a previously hidden world of enslaved peoples, a forgotten class of ordinary people vital to ancient Roman society.

The attack on Pearl Harbor took the US fleet by surprise and went down in history books.

Episode 4 - Ancient Maya Resurrection

In the 9th century the Maya civilisation began to disappear. This ‘collapse’ is hotly debated. New discoveries offer a different view.

The investigation of a mysterious plane wreck in the tranquil waters of the Caribbean and the discovery of secret tunnels along the US border with Mexico reveal the incredible lengths cartels go to in a bid to ensure narcotics find a way to cities and towns across the world.
