Neanderthals: Meet Your Ancestors
尼安德塔人：人類的祖先
Meet the Neanderthals, but not as we know them - smarter, faster and more like us than we ever imagined. Hollywood star Andy Serkis teams up with expert palaeontologists and uses groundbreaking science, emotional storytelling and award-winning animation to discover the true nature of our ancient ancestors, bringing them to life like never before. The team build fully realistic and accurate 3D performance-capture avatars of real Neanderthals for the first time, revealing how scientific discoveries are changing perceptions of the Neanderthals and helping us tackle modern disease.
主持人安迪瑟克斯與資深古生物學家，運用嶄新的科學技術，重現尼安德塔人的生活樣貌。透過專業團隊及先進器材設備的協助，首次捕捉尼安達塔人最真實的樣貌，並利用科學解讀尼安德塔人的點滴。這是人類史上的過去，但透過這樣的解讀，數往知來將這些訊息使用在現代生活上，甚至對現代疾病的應對也有助益。備有中文字幕。
Episode 1
尼安德塔人：人類的祖先 (一)
This first programme in a two-part series investigates what Neanderthals looked like and how they lived in their Ice Age world. It turns out that almost everything we thought we knew about them is wrong. They weren't hunched, grunting, knuckle-dragging ape-men at all. In reality they were faster, smarter, better looking - and much more like us than we ever thought. Our guide is Ella Al-Shamahi, a young, British, rising star in Neanderthal research, with an unusual side-line as a stand-up comic She enlists the skills of Andy Serkis, the global movie star and master of performance capture, best known as Gollum in the Lord of the Rings and Caesar in Planet of the Apes.
研究尼安德塔人的樣貌，以及他們在冰河時代世界中的生活。事實證明，幾乎我們以為所知道的一切都是錯誤的，尼安德塔人並不是彎腰、作呼嚕聲、用手指扶地爬行的猿人。現實中，他們是更快、更聰明、更好看、更像我們的人類。備有中文字幕。
Episode 2
尼安德塔人：人類的祖先 (二)
In this episode, Ella Al-Shamahi explores the fate of the Neanderthals - asking why they became extinct, and discovering how they live on inside of us today. The programme starts in the caves of Gibraltar, which may have been the last place the Neanderthals survived. Discoveries here have shown the Neanderthals lived a good life - feasting on seafood and wild game. These were a people who were supremely well adapted to their environment. But about 40,000 years ago they disappeared. Why? One of the reasons might have been that they lost out in a physical showdown with modern humans. Ella investigates one of the world's oldest murder mysteries.
探索尼安德塔人為什麼會滅絕，並發現今天他們仍與我們共存。在直布羅陀的洞穴，這可能是尼安德塔人倖存的最後一個地方，在洞穴遺址的發現，表明安德塔人過著以海鮮和野味為盛宴的美好生活。他們非常適應環境，但大約在四萬年前滅絕。為什麼？原因之一可能是他們在與現代人類的對決中輸了。備有中文字幕。

Unexplained mysteries about the ancient world are unearthed and unlocked. The Tower of Babel is an iconic biblical story, but could it be based on an ancient Babylonian building? What if the 10 plagues were the result of a catastrophic volcanic eruption in Egypt? And does a hoard of cremated bones hold the answers to Stonehenge? A team of archaeologists and experts visit forgotten cities and burial sites, track down ancient artefacts, and study mysterious drawings inside crumbling temples. Forensic studies, DNA analysis, drone-technology, and good old-fashioned hunches, are all used in the quest for answers.
本系列利用前沿的法醫學技術，挖掘和揭開關於古代世界的無法解釋的奧秘。巴別塔是古老的巴比倫建築嗎？埃及十災是神蹟還是大自然的力量？一堆火化的骨頭可以解開巨石陣的秘密？備有中文字幕。

3. The Mystery of Stonehenge
巨石陣之謎
Stonehenge is a 5,000 year-old mystery. Despite years of investigation, archaeologists can't agree about why or how this stunning and mysterious monument was built. Some argue the world famous monument, with its careful alignment to the midwinter solstice, was a giant calendar or observatory. Others insist it was cathedral to some unknown gods. One widely held theory is that Stonehenge had spiritual significance for healing sick pilgrims. But now the discovery and dating of an ancient mass-grave at the Stonehenge site is overturning all of these assumptions and suggesting that this iconic site began as a Neolithic graveyard.
巨石陣至今已有五千年的奧秘，儘管經過多年的調查，考古學家仍無法解釋其建造原因和方式。有人說是巨型日曆或天文台，有人認為是不知名神靈的大教堂，而廣為流傳的理論認為，巨石陣對於治愈患病的朝聖者具有精神意義。但現在，在巨石陣遺址發現的古老墳墓，推翻了這些假設並暗示這個標誌性的遺址是新石器時代的墓地。備有中文字幕。
4. The Headless Gladiators of York
約克的無頭角斗士
It was one of grizzliest finds in Roman archaeology. The decapitated remains of over 80 battle scarred skeletons, all buried in the same plot, in the same ritualistic manner nearly two thousand years ago. So who were these people? The macabre discovery took place in 2004 when archaeologists were excavating a plot of land in the Historic city of York in North East England. Within days of unearthing the first skeleton, the body count had reached double figures - and kept rising.
這是羅馬考古學中最令人膽顫心寒的發現之一。二○○四年，在英格蘭東北部的歷史名城約克，考古學家發現一個兩千年前的遺址，挖掘超過八十個以相同儀式埋葬的斬首骸骨。到底這些人是誰？他們來自何方？備有中文字幕。
5. Plagues of Egypt
埃及十災
The Biblical tale of the 10 plagues is one of the greatest and strangest stories ever told. But were there really rivers of blood and plagues of locusts in ancient Egypt? Now new evidence suggests these supernatural events were real, natural phenomena.
舊約聖經出埃及記中，記載了埃及遭遇十災的聖經故事。但古埃及時期真的出現過血災或者蝗災嗎？埃及十災是神蹟，還是大自然的力量？備有中文字幕。
6. Shrunken Heads
乾製首級
They're macabre curios that captured the imagination of intrepid nineteenth century explorers and collectors: decapitated human heads shrunk to a fraction their original size. Displayed in museums and locked away in private collections, there are thousands of these shrunken heads around the world.
令人毛骨悚然的乾製首級，吸引了無畏的十九世紀探險家和收藏家的想像。被斬首的人頭經過特別處理，縮小到原來大小的一小部分。無論是在博物館或私人收藏，全世界有成千上萬的乾製首級。備有中文字幕。
7. Bog Bodies
酸沼木乃伊
In 1950, three Danish farmers came across a grizzly find - a body, buried in a peat bog. It was a murder, but the police will never catch the killers. This crime took place more than two thousand years ago. The victim was named "Tollund Man", and he is a so-called "Bog Body" - a naturally mummified corpse buried in a peat bog during Europe's Iron Age. From Ireland to Russia, hundreds of Bog Bodies have been discovered in these soggy environments on the margins of civilization.
一九五○年，三位丹麥農民在沼澤範圍找到一具男屍。這是一宗謀殺案，但警察永遠不會抓住兇手，因事件發生在兩千多年前。受害者被命名為圖論男子，他是在歐洲的鐵器時代自然環境下形成的木乃伊。從愛爾蘭到俄羅斯，在這些潮濕環境中發現了數百具酸沼木乃伊。備有中文字幕。
8. Garden of Eden
伊甸園
Traditionally, Eden has been seen as a mythological place, an abstract paradise. Genesis is intriguingly specific about its location and archaeologists now believe they may have zeroed in on the place which inspired Eden - the Fertile Crescent, particularly the area which is now in the south of modern day Turkey. For Dr Elaine Padilla, this area matches perfectly the description of where the Garden of Eden was. Using modern satellite imagery a clear contender emerges. Is this the real location which inspired the Eden narrative?
傳說中，伊甸園被視為神話般的地方，一個夢想的天堂。創世紀中，對伊甸園的位置有非常具體的描述。考古學家認為伊甸園位於今天土耳其的南部。利用現代衛星圖像，能否找到伊甸園真實位置？備有中文字幕。

2. Riddle of Petra
佩特拉之謎
The 2,000-year old ruins of the ancient city of Petra have captured the global imagination. Now, thanks to startling new evidence, experts are finally about to solve an enduring mystery: what led such a grand and elaborate city to be abandoned?
擁有兩千年歷史的佩特拉古城遺址，俘虜了全球的想像力。今天，多虧令人吃驚的新證據，專家終將解開一個長久的謎團，到底是什麼導致一個宏偉而精緻的城市被棄置？備有中文字幕。
3. The Mystery of Stonehenge
巨石陣之謎
Stonehenge is a 5,000 year-old mystery. Despite years of investigation, archaeologists can't agree about why or how this stunning and mysterious monument was built. Some argue the world famous monument, with its careful alignment to the midwinter solstice, was a giant calendar or observatory. Others insist it was cathedral to some unknown gods. One widely held theory is that Stonehenge had spiritual significance for healing sick pilgrims. But now the discovery and dating of an ancient mass-grave at the Stonehenge site is overturning all of these assumptions and suggesting that this iconic site began as a Neolithic graveyard.
巨石陣至今已有五千年的奧秘，儘管經過多年的調查，考古學家仍無法解釋其建造原因和方式。有人說是巨型日曆或天文台，有人認為是不知名神靈的大教堂，而廣為流傳的理論認為，巨石陣對於治愈患病的朝聖者具有精神意義。但現在，在巨石陣遺址發現的古老墳墓，推翻了這些假設並暗示這個標誌性的遺址是新石器時代的墓地。備有中文字幕。
4. The Headless Gladiators of York
約克的無頭角斗士
It was one of grizzliest finds in Roman archaeology. The decapitated remains of over 80 battle scarred skeletons, all buried in the same plot, in the same ritualistic manner nearly two thousand years ago. So who were these people? The macabre discovery took place in 2004 when archaeologists were excavating a plot of land in the Historic city of York in North East England. Within days of unearthing the first skeleton, the body count had reached double figures - and kept rising.
這是羅馬考古學中最令人膽顫心寒的發現之一。二○○四年，在英格蘭東北部的歷史名城約克，考古學家發現一個兩千年前的遺址，挖掘超過八十個以相同儀式埋葬的斬首骸骨。到底這些人是誰？他們來自何方？備有中文字幕。
5. Plagues of Egypt
埃及十災
The Biblical tale of the 10 plagues is one of the greatest and strangest stories ever told. But were there really rivers of blood and plagues of locusts in ancient Egypt? Now new evidence suggests these supernatural events were real, natural phenomena.
舊約聖經出埃及記中，記載了埃及遭遇十災的聖經故事。但古埃及時期真的出現過血災或者蝗災嗎？埃及十災是神蹟，還是大自然的力量？備有中文字幕。
6. Shrunken Heads
乾製首級
They're macabre curios that captured the imagination of intrepid nineteenth century explorers and collectors: decapitated human heads shrunk to a fraction their original size. Displayed in museums and locked away in private collections, there are thousands of these shrunken heads around the world.
令人毛骨悚然的乾製首級，吸引了無畏的十九世紀探險家和收藏家的想像。被斬首的人頭經過特別處理，縮小到原來大小的一小部分。無論是在博物館或私人收藏，全世界有成千上萬的乾製首級。備有中文字幕。
7. Bog Bodies
酸沼木乃伊
In 1950, three Danish farmers came across a grizzly find - a body, buried in a peat bog. It was a murder, but the police will never catch the killers. This crime took place more than two thousand years ago. The victim was named "Tollund Man", and he is a so-called "Bog Body" - a naturally mummified corpse buried in a peat bog during Europe's Iron Age. From Ireland to Russia, hundreds of Bog Bodies have been discovered in these soggy environments on the margins of civilization.
一九五○年，三位丹麥農民在沼澤範圍找到一具男屍。這是一宗謀殺案，但警察永遠不會抓住兇手，因事件發生在兩千多年前。受害者被命名為圖論男子，他是在歐洲的鐵器時代自然環境下形成的木乃伊。從愛爾蘭到俄羅斯，在這些潮濕環境中發現了數百具酸沼木乃伊。備有中文字幕。
8. Garden of Eden
伊甸園
Traditionally, Eden has been seen as a mythological place, an abstract paradise. Genesis is intriguingly specific about its location and archaeologists now believe they may have zeroed in on the place which inspired Eden - the Fertile Crescent, particularly the area which is now in the south of modern day Turkey. For Dr Elaine Padilla, this area matches perfectly the description of where the Garden of Eden was. Using modern satellite imagery a clear contender emerges. Is this the real location which inspired the Eden narrative?
傳說中，伊甸園被視為神話般的地方，一個夢想的天堂。創世紀中，對伊甸園的位置有非常具體的描述。考古學家認為伊甸園位於今天土耳其的南部。利用現代衛星圖像，能否找到伊甸園真實位置？備有中文字幕。

Dippy and The Whale
恐龍迪皮與藍鯨
The Natural History Museum in London is undertaking the biggest challenge in its 130-year history. Dippy, the museum’s iconic dinosaur, has taken centre stage for decades - but this venerable beast is not even a real fossil. Now, Dippy has been taken down, to be replaced by a 25-metre blue whale – a real animal skeleton, the largest animal ever to have lived on Earth. The programme goes behind the scenes to follow this super-sized challenge. How do you move the biggest skeleton on the planet?

1. America's Hidden Pyramid City
美國隱藏的金字塔
Over a thousand years ago a great civilisation built a thriving metropolis in the heart of North America. It was larger than Paris, London and Rome at the time and was known as Cahokia. This vast city is one of the best kept secrets of western archaeology, but using cutting edge technologies like LIDAR Secrets: World’s Greatest Pyramid can finally unravel its mysteries. Our investigators trace the rise and fall of this mighty civilisation which exploded into existence in 900 AD but vanished less than four hundred years later. Archaeologists John Kelly and Tim Pauketat explore the artefacts decades of excavations have unearthed at the site and what they teaches us about the culture and beliefs of the people here.
數千多年前，一個偉大的文明在北美的中心建起一座繁榮的大都市。當時這個城市比巴黎、倫敦和羅馬還要大，名為卡霍基亞。然而，數百多年後卡霍基亞就莫名其妙地沒落失蹤了。卡霍基亞土丘可以媲美埃及的金字塔，考古學家將追蹤這個偉大文明的興衰。備有中文字幕。
2. Dead Sea Treasure Map
死海銅卷藏寶圖
Archaeologist Danny Harman retraces the footsteps of the original 1952 expedition and visits the very cave where the heavily oxidized scroll was discovered. Rare archive footage reveals the tense moment scientists opened the fragile scroll for the first time in 2,000 years and Professor Lawrence Schiffman, an expert in ancient Hebrew guides us through the text which lists 64 hiding places of vast quantities of treasure - and he reveals why the original translation might not have been as accurate as originally thought. We set an artisan metalworker the task of recreating a section of the copper Scroll for a unique insight into the complex process of recreating a highly detailed text onto metal using nothing but a hammer and chisel.
一九五二年在昆蘭附近地區發現的死海古卷，其中的銅卷一直是考古之謎。銅卷比其他古卷更晚寫成，其中列出六十四個地點和相應數量的黃金和白銀。考古學家認為銅卷是一個藏寶圖，指向消失的聖殿物品收藏地點。備有中文字幕。
3. Lost City of The Pharaohs
消失的法老古城
Ramesse II was one of the greatest pharaohs to rule Egypt. His reign, beginning in 1279 BC, saw stability, military success and a building programme unmatched since the construction of the Pyramids a thousand years before. But for Egyptologists, one great mystery hung over his reign. His capital city, Pi-Ramesses, the ‘House of Ramesses’, was known to be a large and magnificent city. But over the passage of time, it seemed to have completely vanished from history. The chief clue about the city’s location came from an ancient papyrus, stating that it sat on the easternmost branch of the Nile Delta.
拉美西斯二世是統治埃及最偉大的法老之一。從公元前一二七九年開始，他統治的穩定性，軍事成就和建築無與倫比。但對於埃及學家而言，他的統治是一個巨大的謎團。他的首府城市，被認為是一座宏偉壯觀的城市。但隨著時間的推移，這座城市從歷史上徹底消失。關於這座城市的主要線索來自古代的紙莎草紙，說城市坐落在尼羅河三角洲的最東端。備有中文字幕。
4. King Tut’s Tomb - The Hidden Chamber
圖坦卡門墓隱藏的墓室
In 1922, in Egypt’s Valley of the Kings, the final resting place of Ancient Pharaohs for almost 500 years, Howard Carter made the most momentous discovery in the history of archaeology: the tomb of King Tutankhamun. But just as the king’s tomb has astounded the world, it has also deeply puzzled experts. Funerary treasures appear to have once belonged to someone else… a woman. And upon entering the tomb, there is a right hand turn, typical not for a man’s tomb… but a woman’s. Archaeologists and Egyptologists have long sought to solve these enduring mysteries. With the very latest in digital technology, high-resolution 3D scans have revealed the possibility of secret doorways in Tutankhamun’s tomb, invisible to the naked eye.
一九二二年，在埃及的帝王谷發現了考古學史上最重大的圖坦卡門法老陵墓。但考古學家一直疑惑何以這位法老的墓，會比別的法老小而形狀亦更接近王后的墓。利用最新的數碼技術，高清晰度立體掃描揭示了圖坦卡蒙墓穴的牆壁後有秘道通向密室。備有中文字幕。
5. Search for The Holy Grail
尋找聖杯
In 2014 historian Margarita Torres discovered two Arabic parchments hidden in an Egyptian library. The documents record “The Cup of the Messiah” travelling from Jerusalem to Spain in the year 1055 as a gift to King Ferdinand of Leon. Examining an ornate chalice in Leon that once belonged to King Ferdinand’s daughter, archaeologist Julian Henderson reveals that hidden behind the medieval gold embellishment is a simple onyx cup. Margarita Torres argues that this onyx cup is the one held by Jesus. Torres finds evidence to support her theory in a medieval painting of the Last Supper commissioned by King Ferdinand’s daughter.
千百年來，人們一直在苦苦搜尋耶穌受難前在逾越節晚餐上使用的聖杯。歷史學家瑪格麗塔托雷斯發現了記載聖杯的古老羊皮卷。隨後，利用卷中提供的線索展開研究。最終確認西班牙國王費迪南一世的女兒所持的聖杯是正品。備有中文字幕。
6. The Search for Atlantis
尋找亞特蘭蒂斯
The fabled island that vanished beneath the waves is one of the greatest enigmas of the ancient world. Described by Plato, Atlantis was initially thought to be just myth and legend. But could the lost civilization be real? For decades archaeologists searched for evidence, then on the Greek island of Santorini they found a remarkable city that was buried 3,500 years ago by a major volcanic eruption. But what exactly happened to bury this ancient city? Plato talks about an empire that subdued vast regions of the Mediterranean. Could the small civilisation that lived on the island be Atlantis? Or was Atlantis something bigger?
傳說中擁有高度文明的亞特蘭蒂斯，最早的描述出現於古希臘哲學家柏拉圖的著作裡。但這個失落的文明是真實的嗎？數十年來，考古學家一直在尋找證據。在希臘的聖托里尼島上，他們發現了一座三千五百年前被火山爆發埋沒的城市。但柏拉圖談及的是一個征服了地中海廣大地區的帝國，在島上的小文明是不是亞特蘭蒂斯？還是有更大的？備有中文字幕。

We humans consider ourselves unique. In terms of evolution, our ancestors and cousins have all died out. But groundbreaking discoveries made in the last few years have transformed our beliefs about our past. We now know there were at least four distinct species of human alive on the planet at the same time – and possibly more. Who were these ‘lost tribes’ of humanity? What happened when we met them? And where did they all go? The answers strike deep at the core of who we think we are.

Animal Mummies
動物木乃伊
Inside Egypt's ancient tombs famously lie the bandaged remains of embalmed god-kings and priests. It is less well known that together with them lie hundreds upon thousands of other preserved bodies: the animal mummies. Examining these beetles, cats, birds, even bulls, throws new light on some of Egypt's oldest enigmas: can we now say whether Egyptians sailed to the Americas, or whether their culture used cocaine? Animals now extinct are among the preserved, brought to life again using hi-tech computer modelling techniques.
提到埃及古墓，人所共知的就有保存埃及帝王及祭司遺骸的木乃伊。然而，很少人知道古墓內還有成千上萬的動物木乃伊。考查這些甲蟲、貓、鳥、公牛木乃伊，能否解開埃及最古老的謎團，例如古埃及人是否曾航行到至美洲，或他們有否使用可卡因？運用高端電腦模擬技術，本節目將重現動物木乃伊的原貌。備有中文字幕。

1. The Secret Of The Lines Of Nazca (Peru)
秘魯：納斯卡線的秘密
The craziest theories have attempted to explain the famous Nasca lines. Astronomical calendar, divine frescoes, extra-terrestrial signals... Since 1997, German archaeologist Markus Reindel has been trying to bring science back at the forefront of this search for meaning. After almost 20 years of research, his theory now seems to win unanimous support among scientists. In his view, the Nasca lines were places used for religious ceremonies.
世界上有很多不同的理論去嘗試解釋著名的納斯卡線的秘密，例如是天文曆法、神聖的壁畫、外星人信號等。自一九七七年起，德國考古學家萊馬克專注研究納斯卡線，他的理論似乎贏得科學家的一致支持，他認為納斯卡線是用於宗教儀式的。備有中文字幕。

Ancient Worlds
古代世界
Ancient Worlds An illuminating and spectacular six-part odyssey tracing the development of Western civilization - from the first cities of Mesopotamia to the fall of the Roman Empire. Academic and archaeologist Richard Miles travels through the Middle East, Egypt, Pakistan and the Mediterranean to discover how the mainstays of our society - community, democracy, commerce and technology - were forged and fought over in a series of classical cultures.
考古學家和歷史學家理查麥爾思，將帶領觀眾進入迷人的古代世界發現之旅，探尋西方文明的起源。他的旅程將從美索不達米亞創立的第一批城市開始，至青銅時代鐵器的出現，波希戰爭，亞歷山大大帝王者的崛起，直到羅馬帝國的覆滅。古人的成功和失敗，塑造了今日的世界。備有中文字幕。
1. Come Together
文明的起點
Archaeologist and historian Richard Miles explores the roots of one of the most profound innovations in the human story - civilisation - in the first episode of an epic series that runs from the creation of the first cities in Mesopotamia some 6,000 years ago, to the decline and fall of the Roman Empire. Starting in Uruk, the 'mother of all cities', in southern Iraq, Richard travels to Syria, Egypt, Anatolia and Greece, tracing the birth and development of technology and culture.
考古學家和歷史學家理查麥爾思，探討在人類的故事中，其中最深刻的革新之一，即文明。從六千年前美索不達米亞文明建立第一個城市，到羅馬帝國的衰亡，理查麥爾思由伊拉克南部的烏魯克出發，前往敘利亞、埃及、安那托利亞和希臘，追查文化科技的誕生與發展。備有中文字幕。
2. The Age of Iron
鐵器時代
Archaeologist and historian Richard Miles looks at the winners, losers and survivors of the great Bronze Age collapse, a regional catastrophe that wiped out the hard-won achievements of civilisation in the eastern Mediterranean about 3,000 years ago. In the new age of iron, civilisation would re-emerge, tempered in the flames of conflict, tougher and more resilient than ever before.

3. The Greek Things
希臘的崛起
Richard Miles explores the power and the paradox of the 'Greek Thing' - a blossoming in art, philosophy and science that went hand in hand with political discord, social injustice and endless war. He paints a fascinating picture of the internal and external pressures that fuelled this unique political and social experiment, one that would pioneer many of the political systems that we still live with today, from oligarchy to tyranny, from totalitarianism to democracy.
古希臘是現代西方文明的源頭，理查麥爾思將探討有關希臘的權力與矛盾，如藝術的發展，哲學與科學涉及政治紛爭，社會不公和無休止的戰爭。內部和外部的壓力，加劇了這種獨特的政治和社會實驗，這將開創更多今天仍實行的政治制度，從寡頭政治到專制，從極權主義到民主。備有中文字幕。
4. Return of The King
王者回歸
In Richard Miles's epic story of civilization, there have been plenty of examples of the great men of history, but none came close to the legend of Alexander of Macedon, known to us as 'the Great'. Uniting the fractious Greek city-states, he led them on a crusade against the old enemy, Persia, and in little more than a decade created an empire that stretched from Egypt in the west to Afghanistan in the east. But it was Alexander's successors, the Hellenistic Kings, who had to make sense of the legacy of this charismatic adventurer. By knuckling down to the hard graft of politics, taxation and public works, they created something far more enduring than a mere legend - they built a civilization. Richard traces Alexander's battle-scarred route through Turkey, Syria and Lebanon to Egypt and ultimately to the western Punjab, Pakistan, where he discovers fascinating traces of a city where Greek west and Buddhist east were united in an intriguing new way.
在本系列的文明之旅中，已經出現很多歷史偉人的例子，但未有提及馬其頓亞歷山大大帝的傳說。亞歷山大團結了易怒的希臘城邦並組成十字軍東征波斯，用了十年多時間創建了從埃及西部延伸到阿富汗東部的帝國。備有中文字幕。
5. The Republic of Virtue
共和的力量
How did an insignificant cluster of Latin hill villages on the edge of the civilised world become the greatest empire the world has known? In the fifth programme of the series, archaeologist and historian Richard Miles examines the phenomenon of the Roman Republic, from its fratricidal mythical beginnings, with the legend of Romulus and Remus, to the all too real violence of its end, dragged to destruction by war lords like Pompey the Great and Julius Caesar. Travelling to Sicily and North Africa, Richard tells the story of Rome's century-long struggle for dominance with the other great regional power, Carthage. It was a struggle that would end with the total destruction of this formidable enemy and the transformation of landlubber Rome into a seapower, and the Republic into an Empire. But with no-one left to beat, the only enemy that Rome had left was itself.
一個在文明世界邊緣，群山上細小的拉丁族群，怎樣成為世界上人人皆知的大帝國？考古學家和歷史學家理查麥爾思，將探尋羅馬共和國的神話，從自相殘殺的歷史為開端，到傳說中的羅慕路斯與雷穆斯，到凱撒大帝擊敗龐貝進入獨裁統治時期直到羅馬共和國滅亡。備有中文字幕。
6. City of Man, City of God
俗世之城，上帝之城
Richard Miles explores the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, which at the height of its power, extended the benefits of its civilisation to a staggering 60 million subjects and citizens, from Hadrian's Wall to the banks of the Euphrates. The archaeologist and historian also learns how the expansion of Christianity filled a gap left by the Roman multi-god belief system, eventually leading to the instalment of Constantine as the first Christian emperor.

Colosseum: Rome's Arena of Death
羅馬格鬥士：死亡競技場
The Colosseum in Rome is one of the world's most amazing buildings. This immense oval stadium was home to the most violent and deadly spectator sport in history, gladiatorial combat. The Roman gladiator whose story is told here is Verus, one of two victors in the only gladiatorial battle that was ever described in detail (by the Roman poet Martial in 80 A.D.). Using this factual record as its basis, Colosseum follows Verus as he is recruited from slavery, trained in gladiator's school, rises to favor among wealthy Romans, and ultimately battles his best friend, Priscus, to a crowd-pleasing draw in the inaugural games of glorious, brand-new Colosseum, the construction of which is shown in fascinating detail. Combining authoritative narration with diary-like voiceovers from Verus's perspective.

年輕的商博良，受到哥哥的鼓勵去發展其語言天賦，商博良對古埃及語深感興趣，因此開始研究羅塞塔石碑。1801年法國戰敗，石碑及全部研究結果被英國沒收，幾經商議，最終允許留下石碑拓片及研究結果。商博良最終成功譯解出古埃及象形文字的結構。備有中文字幕。
6. The Secrets of the Hieroglyphs
象形文字的秘密
Champollion is determined to travel to Egypt to prove his theory but poor and jobless he is reduced to buying up whatever scraps of papyrus he can find and this obsession alienates his wife. The Dendera zodiac purchased by the French King Charles X threatens to challenge the biblical chronologies of church scholars, as it is believed by some to date to before the Great Flood of 2349 BC. Champollion is called in to confirm Sacy's dating of the antiquity to around 2000 BC; he disputes Sacy's dating but not Church authorities by dating it to some 2,000 years later than that during the Roman period.
商博良決定前往埃及，以證明他的理論。但貧困和失業令他負擔不到購買紙張甚至影響夫婦之間的關係。法國國王查理十世購回來的丹達臘黃道十二宮圖威脅到當時宗教學者的聖經年表，他們認為黃道十二宮圖出自是公元前2349年大洪水前。然而，商博良估計是在羅馬期間。備有中文字幕。

Fossil Wonderlands: Nature's Hidden Treasures
大自然隱藏的化石寶藏
In this revelatory series, presenter Professor Richard Fortey, Britain's foremost chronicler of ancient worlds, tells the extraordinary history of palaeontology through three of the world's greatest fossil sites.
英國古代世界的年代史家理查福堤教授，將帶領觀眾前往世界上三大最重要的考古化石遺址，並解說古生物學的非凡歷史。備有中文字幕。
1. Weird Wonders
非凡怪異生物
Professor Richard Fortey journeys high in the Rocky Mountains to explore a 520-million-year-old fossilised seabed containing bizarre and experimental lifeforms that have revolutionised our understanding about the beginnings of complex life. Among the amazing finds he uncovers are marine creatures with five eyes and a proboscis; filter-feeders shaped like tulips; worm-like scavengers covered in spikes but with no identifiable head or anus; and a metre-long predator resembling a giant shrimp.
福堤教授在洛磯山脈，探索五億二千萬年前遠古海床的生物化石，這些怪異的生命形態徹底改變了我們對複雜生命起源的理解。在考察的驚人化石當中發現了有五隻眼睛和長鼻的海洋生物，像鬱金香形狀的濾食者、沒有明顯頭部或肛門及全身帶釘的蠕蟲狀食腐者，以及一米長酷似巨型蝦的捕食者。備有中文字幕。
2. Feathered Dinosaurs
有羽毛恐龍
Professor Richard Fortey travels to northeastern China to see a fossil site known as the 'Dinosaur Pompeii' - a place that has yielded spectacular remains of feathered dinosaurs and rewritten the story of the origins of birds. Among the amazing finds he investigates are the feathered cousin of T-rex, a feathered dinosaur with strong parallels to living pandas and some of the most remarkable flying animals that have ever lived.
前往中國東北部被稱為“恐龍界的龐貝”的化石遺址，在這裡發掘出帶有羽毛的恐龍的骸骨，這些發現重寫了鳥類起源的歷史。研究的化石包括暴龍有羽毛的遠親，與大熊貓有強烈可比性的有羽毛恐龍，以及一些有史以來最出色的飛行動物。備有中文字幕。
3. The Mammal Hothouse
哺乳動物溫室
Professor Richard Fortey investigates the remains of ancient volcanic lake in Germany where stunningly well-preserved fossils of early mammals, giant insects and even perhaps our oldest known ancestor have been found. Among the amazing finds are bats as advanced and sophisticated as anything living today, more than 50-million-years-later; dog-sized 'Dawn' horses, the ancestor of the modern horse; and giant ants as large as a hummingbird.
調查德國古老的火山湖，在這兒保存了完好的早期哺乳動物和巨蟲，甚至是已知最古老祖先的化石。其中發現了蝙蝠比五千萬年後的生物已很先進和精密，與狗體積相若現代馬的祖先，以及如蜂鳥一樣大的巨蟻。備有中文字幕。

The Man Who Discovered Egypt
發現埃及的人：考古學家皮特里
This is the story of one of Britain's greatest archaeologists, Flinders Petrie, an extraordinary man whose meticulous excavations revolutionised archaeological techniques worldwide and brought new understanding to Egypt's past. Petrie's career marked the point when archaeology emerged as a true science, rather than being the pursuit of tomb raiders and treasure hunters. A maverick and eccentric genius with an insatiable appetite for science, chemistry and mathematics, Petrie's lasting legacy came through his relentless and inspired study of Egypt. He was the genius who solved the mathematical secrets of the Great Pyramid of Giza, and his field reports are still the starting point for any modern day research. In this fascinating biographical film, presenter Chris Naunton, director of the Egypt Exploration Society, follows in Petrie's footsteps, travelling to the key sites of his discoveries in Egypt and Israel. Naunton draws on Petrie's extensive correspondence, work journals and photographic archive to chart the achievements of a remarkable man.
