4. Cultural Treasures: Austria - Arcadia World Cosmos Global Travel Films

Feb 6, 2025  •  TV Shows
Vienna was once Austria's seat of Empire, located in what is the very heart of Europe. The monumental Stephansdom is Vienna's most prominent landmark. The cathedral's three-sectioned hall, with its late Romanesque western side, was built at the beginning of the 14th Century, and its facade was only widened later when its steep roof was also re-built. The Wiener Hofburg is a large complex of buildings that contain various architectural styles dating from between the 13th and 19th centuries and was the Viennese residence and legislative center of the Habsburg Dynasty, the emperors of the 'Holy Roman Empire' of the German nation. Amid the vast terraces of the Wachau vineyards is the village of Weissenkirchen, in which several inns provide their customers with an ideal opportunity to sample the wines of this region. Wine growing has a long tradition in this section of the Danube, indeed, the area between Krems and Melk is one of the oldest cultivated landscapes in Austria. The Semmering Railway is a remarkable alpine railroad that has been operating for 150 years. The starting point of a fascinating journey is the town of Gloggnitz, that has around 7,000 inhabitants. The railway line to the Semmering Pass contains 16 viaducts, more than 100 bridges and 15 tunnels. Salzburg is rightfully proud of its most famous citizen, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, as both his birthplace and residence are situated in the middle of the old town. Medieval Salzburg became the 'German Rome', an Early Baroque city whose architecture was influenced by Italian design, a city of art, faith and flamboyant culture. Due to the exquisite taste of the royal archbishops of that glorious time, today Salzburg is one of the most beautiful Baroque cities in what is one of the finest countries in Europe.

5. Five Guys, Four Bullets

Sep 11, 2006  •  TV Shows
A travel documentary of a group of 5 bikers who decide to ride their Royal Enfield Bullet motorcycles from Delhi to Ladakh, the Indian home of Tibetan Buddhism. The 3,000 km journey across the Himalayas is one of the toughest motorcycle trips in the world. Their plan was: five riders, four bikes, no back up vehicle and no film crew. There was no pre-planned screenplay, and no locations or events to cover. The film was shot by one of the bikers, filmmaker Karan Singh, who took his camera along for the ride. He is the one-man unit responsible for the film. The documentary captures the interaction and experience of the bikers as they ride through the Himalayas. Through Kashmir and Ladakh, they encounter floods, landslides, snow, and altitude sickness at heights of 18,300 feet. It's a film on friendship, camaraderie, and the 'never say die' attitude of the five as they face off with nature, connect with local communities, explore old battlefields, and encounter nomads amidst some of the most spectacular and demanding landscapes possible.

6. Tripolitania - Arcadia World Cosmos Global Travel Films

Feb 6, 2025  •  TV Shows
At first sight, there are few traces of this ancient and legendary place in northwest Libya but it once had three great cities, Sabratha, Leptis Magna and Oea. Tripoli, once named Oea, dates back to the 7th Century B.C. when Tripoli was an important trading center for the Carthaginians. As much as anything else, it is the local plants, majestic palm trees and impressive cacti that give Tripoli its Mediterranean atmosphere. Clearly, the influence of the sea is only present close to the coast, as a few kilometers inland is endless desert. An eye-catching landmark that dates back to the time of the corsairs is the Citadel in Tripoli's harbor. The Arabs enlarged the original Byzantine complex to a fortress and for a short spell, the city fell into the hands of the Spanish. Sabratha is the youngest of the three great cities of Tripolitania. Thanks to much restoration work, the Theatre is one of the most impressive architectural monuments of this once legendary trading city. The restored facade of the Roman stage building is one of the most beautiful to be seen anywhere. Columns of green-white Cipollino Marble with artistic capitols underline the extraordinary architectural charm of Sabratha's ancient theatre. Around 120 kilometers east of Tripoli is Tripolitania's third ancient metropolis of Leptis Magna, a unique excavation site. The oldest finds in Leptis Magna were made in a Punic cemetery that had been built on by the Romans. Under the rule of Carthage, Leptis Magna became an important trading metropolis until it fell into the hands of the Numidians. The remains of the legendary Tripolitania of antiquity continue to inspire even today and are proof of a great and golden epoch.

8. In the Land of the Nabateans, Arabia's Mystic Traders - Cosmos Global Documentaries

Feb 6, 2025  •  TV Shows
The Jordan Desert is a beautiful, natural landscape and was once home to a legendary and mysterious people that fell into oblivion some centuries ago, the Nabateans, whose realm was at its zenith some 2,000 years ago and resulted in some of the most fascinating ruins of antiquity. Due to their remote and obscure location, the remains of Petra, a legendary Nabatean city of rock, were for many years merely regarded as a myth and only a few local Bedouin tribes knew of the existence of certain ancient buildings in the south of what is now Jordan. Both El-Barid and Petra were located in a very favorable position at the junction of several ancient trading routes that led from the Arabian Peninsula to as far as Anatolia and into today's Syria and Egypt. Caravan trains brought great wealth to the Nabatean realm. The technical knowledge and achievements of this ancient desert tribe were quite remarkable. Drains that were several kilometers long supplied the local population with fresh water, an essential commodity in the desert. One of the region's most famous natural landmarks is situated in the northern part of the Wadi Rum, The Seven Pillars Of Wisdom, a striking rock that was named after a novel by Lawrence Of Arabia. Inspired by the enthusiastic writings of the legendary secret agent, film director David Lean decided to shoot the film at the original locations mentioned by Lawrence. The shining color of the rocks and the fascinating desert landscape of the Wadi Rum have been made famous by the historic film. The conquest of this region by the Arabs in the middle of the 7th century marked the decline of the legendary rock city of Petra. For more than 1,000 years, the ruins of this ancient civilization lay hidden beneath the desert sands of Jordan before they once again revealed some of their secrets to a new and fascinated world.

10. Walangee - Arcadia Cosmos Global Travel Films

Feb 6, 2025  •  TV Shows
Our adventure begins in dense rainforests outside Cairns, in the north of Queensland, one of Australia's most popular tourist destinations. We are part of an expedition that will travel far from the tourist trail and into vast unspoiled regions in order to search for an extraordinary aborigine, the Walangee. A newly-ignited forest fire forces us to change direction and take an alternative route. On this occasion it is no problem, otherwise our entire expedition could be in jeopardy. Our new route travels along a gravel-covered forest road: a four wheel drive vehicle in this part of Queensland is an absolute necessity. Three rivers, the Lockhart, Pascoe and Jardine, as well as numerous small tributaries, flow across the pathless jungle area of the north coast of Australia. The rivers is a habitat for a large variety of very unusual creatures. We feel a little like how the first European discoverers of Australia must have felt. Cape York Peninsula was one of the first regions to be discovered by the first seafarers, long before Captain James Cook discovered the fifth continent. Within his hut, Chief Walangee is busy with the creation of a new harpoon. For the inhabitants of Cape York Peninsula, for thousands of years, the harpoon has been the most important hunting device. Today, the point of the harpoon is made of iron. Chief Walangee is one of the last authentic hunters of this region. We also visit one of the most famous diving sites in the world, the Great Barrier Reef, that consists of around a thousand islands and almost three thousand individual reefs. This journey into Australia's natural past has confirmed that it is one of the world's most untouched land masses, in which ancient traditions continue to be used for practical purposes, not just a tourist's carefully posed photo opportunity.
