The series reveals how many of today's technological achievements were actually developed centuries ago. New science uncovers a lost world more like our own than suspected, and reveals how modern technology has its blueprint in the ancient world.
S1 E7: Warrior Tech
Today, modern soldiers are equipped with all the latest battlefield technology. But what cutting edge weapons and defenses were the ancient warriors armed with?
S1 E8: Roman Empire
We explore ancient texts to uncover amazing Roman technologies including a horse-drawn arrow shooter - possibly the world's first tank?
S1 E9: Greatest Ships
Some of the greatest ships in history were actually designed, built and sailed thousands of years ago. Join us as we examine the greatest warship of the ancient world, the Greek Trireme. What made Triremes so deadly and fast?
S1 E10: Extreme Engineering
Ancients get troops to cross a nearly 4,000 foot river, extract oil from the ground without the use of modern drilling technique and build a water tank which contained 3 million cubic feet of water.
S1 E1: Moving Mountains
We reveal the ancient technology that allowed the Egyptians to move a 1,000 ton obelisk, and show how the Romans moved even heavier objects at the temples at Baalbek.
S1 E2: Monster Monuments
A monument carved out of rock and a monster-sized super-dome are the feats of engineering defy explanation, yet they were actually built thousands of years ago. The Great Pyramid was the tallest structure on earth for over 4,000 years.
S1 E3: Ultimate Weapons
One ancient genius managed to build a cannon that could fire a projectile using the power of steam! We reveal an ancient troop ship mightier than an aircraft carrier, and death rays that could burn enemy ships.
S1 E4: Ancient Einsteins
We show the amazing genius of Archimedes, who managed to make water flow uphill, Philon created the first robot, and Ctesibius who experimented with pneumatics. Heron of Alexandria invented the steam engine, automatic doors and vending machines!
S1 E5: Biggest Builds
A mega factory is a modern invention--wrong--the ancients were the first to build these thousands of years ago. We reveal the impossible ingenuity and techniques that made it possible for the ancients to have "Mega Factories" of their own.
S1 E6: Power Tools
Power tools are not from the modern world, but are in fact thousands of years old. Most would be lost to time and not again for centuries. How was the ancient world able to create such incredible power tools?
