Episode 1 • Dec 31, 1969
The Egyptians
The ancient Egyptians were obsessed with divinity, death and the afterlife and reincarnation. Kenneally visits Saqqara, south of Cairo, where the Egyptians learned the technique of mummification and built the first pyramid, an early prototype for the grand monuments of the Giza pyramid complex. He journeys on to explore the ruins at Abydos, Karnak and Luxor, arriving finally at the island of Philae, the site of the last hieroglyphics and a little-known shrine to Egypt's lost Gods.
Episode 2 • Dec 31, 1969
The Greeks
Greece. Home of democracy, philosophy and mythology. The Ancient Greeks worshipped the gods of Mount Olympus, which were ruled over by Zeus. However, what was the truth behind the myths?
Episode 3 • Dec 31, 1969
The Romans
The spectacular rise and fall of the Roman Empire fascinates us to this day. The Romans took their Gods from the Etruscans, on the ruins of whose civilization they built their own. Kenneally visits the Forum, the epicenter of Roman religion, and the Pantheon, sanctuary of the Roman gods. In Caerleon in Wales, he reveals how the Romans carried their religion to the farthest reaches of the empire, and at Ephesus in Turkey, he traces the rise of the Christian deity that would ultimately overthrow the Roman gods.
Episode 4 • Dec 31, 1969
The Maya
Episode 5 • Dec 31, 1969
The Inca
Episode 6 • Dec 31, 1969
The Celts
The Celts believed in benign spirits and demonic forces, but made no churches or temples: nature itself was their cathedral. Kenneally visits ancient Celtic settlements in Austria, Italy and Greece. He explores the settlement of Castell Henllys in Wales, where the religion of the druids was broken by Roman military might. And at Newgrange, Ferrycarraig and Dun Aengus in Ireland, he reveals how the Celts came to adopt the Gods of those who had preceded them.
