Custer's Last Stand
Native American eyewitness accounts tell a new story of the Battle of Little Bighorn: of chaos and panic, no gallant last stand by Custer. Using the methods of crime scene investigation, forensic scientists are uncovering evidence of what really happened.
Episode 2 • Aug 05, 2003
Charge of the Light Brigade
Researchers use satellite technology and archaeological finds to unearth the truth about Balaklava during the most celebrated battle of the Crimean War. How disastrous was the British cavalry charge--and who were the actual heroes in the defense?
Episode 3 • Dec 31, 1969
The Gallipoli Catastrophe
Historians shows how bad maps and worse intelligence produced the catastrophe of Gallipoli in 1915, and geologists reveal how terrain won the battle for the Turks and lost it for the Allies.
Episode 4 • Dec 31, 1969
What Sank the Armada?
The sinking of the Spanish Armada in the summer of 1588 has been attributed to English heroism, Spanish incompetence, and bad weather. Now archaeologists are working with oceanographers, meteorologists, and ship design experts to uncover the real reasons.
Episode 5 • Dec 31, 1969
Who Got Lucky at Hastings?
An academic uses modern management theory to determine whether William was a better leader than Harold at Hastings in 1066. Meanwhile, an equestrian historian assesses the behavior of horses in battle, and computer experts create 3-D maps of the Hastings.
Episode 6 • Mar 25, 2005
Massacre at Waterloo
What went wrong for the French at Waterloo? Experts re-create the defensive ridge where Wellington stationed the allied troops, assess the impact of the weather conditions on Napoleon's artillery, and consider the psychological state of his commander?
Episode 7 • Dec 31, 1969
Agincourt's Dark Secrets
Medieval warfare specialists investigate how terrain affected the way the 15th-century Battle of Agincourt was waged, what the rare battlefield artifacts tell us, and just what happens when an English bodkin point meets French armor.
Episode 8 • Sep 27, 2004
Trafalgar's Fatal Flaw
New research shows that the 1805 Battle of Trafalgar was anything but inevitable. Far from executing a carefully developed plan, Nelson sailed straight at the enemy broadsides based on little more planning than a quick tactical sketch.
Episode 9 • Oct 04, 2004
Vietnam's Bloody Secret
Veterans from both sides explain how modern weaponry and huge budgets failed to overcome the morale and ingenuity of the communist forces. Experts show how America never really understood who it was fighting, what motivated them, or what methods they used.

Written in Stone Jesus of Nazareth

Written in Stone Jesus of Nazareth

In 1867, a British engineer and archaeologist named Charles Warren arrived in Jerusalem to uncover the biblical history of the Holy Land. Since then, thousands of archaeological discoveries throughout the Middle East have confirmed the history of the Bible. But not one artifact has ever contradicted the story of God's Word. Written In Stone takes you on a visual journey through the Bible. In Jesus of Nazareth (2020), retrace the life of Jesus, from His birth in Bethlehem to His death and resurrection in Jerusalem. Where did Jesus live? Where did he teach? Where was he tried by Pontius Pilate? And do we know for sure where He was born - and where he died? Some of the answers may surprise you. In House of David (2021) we'll follow the trail of evidence left by Israel's greatest kings. What does archaeology reveal about writing, warfare and worship during the time of King David? Where did King Solomon build his palace, and how do we know? In Secrets of the Temple (2021) you'll meet the team of archaeologists who are rediscovering the Jewish Temple of Jesus' day. What did it look like? How did people worship? And what happened to its treasures? In Kings and Prophets (2022) archaeology illustrates the powerful reach of Hezekiah's kingdom, a glimpse of Jewish life during the Babylonian exile, and the rebuilding of Jerusalem led by Nehemiah. From excavations in Israel to the some of the world's most famous museums, this documentary series reveals how archaeology affirms the truth of the Bible.
