Egyptskí archeológovia odkryjú neporušenú hrobku starú 4 400 rokov a pokúšajú sa rozšifrovať históriu svojho výnimočného objavu.

David Attenborough brings to life, in unprecedented detail, the last days of the dinosaurs. Palaeontologist Robert DePalma has made an incredible discovery in a prehistoric graveyard: fossilised creatures, astonishingly well preserved, that could help change our understanding of the last days of the dinosaurs. Evidence from his site records the day when an asteroid bigger than Mount Everest devastated our planet and caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. Based on brand new evidence, witness the catastrophic events of that day play out minute by minute.

Thanks to new excavations in Mauritius and Madagascar, as well as archival and museum research in France, Spain, England and Canada, a group of international scholars paint a new portrait of the world of piracy in the Indian Ocean.

Tvárou v tvár hrozbe stúpajúcej hladiny morí sa vedci a umelci snažia reprodukovať majstrovské diela z jedinečného prírodného priestoru... V národnom parku Calanques, 37 metrov pod hladinou mora, sa nachádza jediná známa podmorská jaskyňa s prehistorickými umeleckými dielami na svete: Cosquera. Túto pozoruhodnú skalnú jaskyňu s maľbami a rytinami spred 30 000 rokov ohrozuje stúpajúca hladina mora. Musíme konať skôr, ako bude neskoro. Zatiaľ čo sa v Marseille buduje replika jaskyne, vedecký výskum pokračuje priamo na mieste. Dokument sleduje archeológov, ktorí analyzujú majstrovské diela, a umelcov, ktorí ich reprodukujú, a zoznamuje divákov s neobyčajnou históriou jednej z najvýznamnejších zdobených jaskýň v Európe a s ľuďmi, ktorí kedysi žili na dnes zaplavenom pobreží Stredozemného mora.

One of the most significant cases in European archaeology is the grave of the shaman woman of Bad Dürrenberg, a key finding of the last hunter-gatherer groups. From a time when there were no written records, this site was first researched by the Nazis, who saw a physically strong male warrior from an ‘original Aryan race’ in the buried person. It was, in fact, the most powerful woman of her time. The latest research shows that she was dark-skinned, had physical deformities, and was a spiritual leader. The documentary – using high-end CGI and motion capture – compares the researchers of the Nazi era, who misrepresented and instrumentalised their findings, to today’s researchers, who meticulously compile findings and evidence, and use cross- disciplinary methods to examine and evaluate them. It also substantiates the theory of the powerful roles women played in prehistoric times. The story of this woman, buried with a baby in her arms, still fascinates us 9,000 years after her death.

In summer 2003, when the heatwave hit in Europe, in Switzerland, the glacier below the Schnidejoch pass, released a mysterious object: a piece of a Neolithic quiver.
