Lost Treasures Of The Ancient World

This is the fascinating story of the British Isles in pre-history: of the hunters and farmers who eked out a living from the land: and of Stonehenge, the megalithic structure which has become a symbol of those dark and mysterious times. Standing tall on Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England, the ancient stone circle is steeped in myth and legend - even today, it refuses to give up all of its secrets.

The burial sites of the mighty Pharaohs of Egypt are still one of the most awe-inspiring sights in the world today. This programme provides a colourful, entertaining and informative guide to the treasures left us by a truly extraordinary people.
