    #14 - The Quest for Noah's Ark

    Loading...
    S1:E2

    For 2000 years, adventurers have been searching for the ship that, according to the Bible, saved Noah, his family and the animals from the great flood that God wanted to use to wipe out evil from the earth. In the last 50 years, the American creationists in particular have taken over the search. They believe that finding the Ark on Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey would be the ultimate proof that the theory of evolution is wrong and that every word of the Bible is true. The documentary accompanies three of these creationists on their perilous expeditions.

    The Ark of the Covenant has been missing for over 2000 years. According to legend, it contained the power of God and was carried into battle by the Israelites as a weapon. In 1982, American Ron Wyatt claimed he found the Ark in Jerusalem, but he had neither witnesses nor evidence. Findings from recent excavations in Israel suggest that there may have been more than one Ark, as other portable shrines have also been called the Ark of God.

    #19 - The Quest For Camelot

    Loading...
    S3:E8

    This week’s episode turns to King Arthur who according to legend was Britain's greatest king. He led his Knights of the Round Table from Camelot, a vast, spectacular castle built on a hill, and was supposed to have bravely fought AngloSaxon invaders and united the country. But there's very little evidence he reallyexisted. In the 1960's a team of archaeologists, led by Leslie Alcock, set out to prove the myth was real. After five summers digging where tradition had the location Camelot to be, a hill just off the A303 in South Cadbury, Somerset they discovered Dark Age fortifications dated exactly to the time King Arthur was supposed to have lived, and a great hall, suitable for a King or leader of some kind. Proof, they believed, that Arthur, or someone very like him existed.

    #21 - The Lost Sword of the Samurai

    Loading...
    S1:E6

    The Honjo Masamune is perhaps Japan's most legendary sword, but no one knows where it is. Forged in the 13th century, it became the ceremonial sword of the Tokugawa samurai dynasty for 250 years. Since 1868 it was passed on from one generation to the next, but after the Second World War it disappeared. It may have been melted down undetected in occupied Japan, but experts believe it may have made its way to the United States as a souvenir. Today it would be worth millions and collectors hope that the lost sword of the samurai will one day be found.

    In the early 1800s a party of men headed by a Thomas Beale set out from Virginia to the Colorado Rocky Mountains where they discovered gold. After mining a fortune in gold ore they exchanged it for treasure, which they then buried in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. Beale recorded the secret location of the treasure in three numerical codes that when decoded would reveal the treasures value, its location and to who it belonged. Then in 1897 Clayton Hart discovered the three coded papers and soon after found out that they could reveal a great treasure in a pamphlet that revealed a deciphered paper revealing its value. With the help of his brother George, Clayton spent the next 50 years trying to uncover the location of Beale's treasure. They went to great lengths to break the ciphers, including assistance from America's top code breakers and even the supernatural!

    #25 - The Lost City of El Dorado

    Loading...
    S1:E9

    Legend has it that somewhere in South America there is a city of gold: Eldorado, the remnant of a kingdom that once lay deep in the Amazon jungle. British explorer Percy Fawcett believed in the legend. From 1906 he was regularly on expeditions in the border area between Bolivia and Brazil. In 1925 he started the Eldorado search with his son Jack and his best friend Raleigh. The disappearance of Percy Fawcett is still one of the greatest mysteries in history. The numerous search and research expeditions that were sent to unravel this mystery were all unsuccessful. There was indeed a mythical civilization in the jungle, but the riches of the true Eldorado had nothing to do with gold.
