When the eruption of Mount Vesuvius buried the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum in 79 A.D., it not only froze an ancient civilization, it also preserved the only surviving library from antiquity. For 250 years, scholars have struggled to unroll and read this collection of 1,800 carbonized and crumbling papyrus rolls found in the wealthy Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum.
In the 21st century, promising new technologies--enlisted by the National Library in Naples and Brigham Young University--reveal text that has not been seen for nearly 2,000 years.
As archaeologists examine the partially excavated Villa of the Papyri, a new question emerges: Is there another ancient library still buried at Herculaneum?

1421: The Year China Discovered America? examines the theories outlined by Gavin Menzies in his book "1421: The Year China Discovered the World," which has become a best-seller in the United Kingdom and was released in the United States earlier this week. Mr. Menzies, a British amateur historian and former submarine commander in the Royal Navy, poses an argument that could change the way we perceive global history forever -- that Chinese admirals discovered America and Chinese junks first circled the earth. Travelling across the continents, the film will combine history, science and technology with adventure and exploration, taking viewers on their own voyage of discovery. Note: The original production title was "1421: WHEN CHINA DISCOVERED THE WORLD"

Commemorating the return of the 2004 Summer Olympics to its place of origin in Athens, THE REAL OLYMPICS tells the true story of the original games, comparing the Ancient Greek Olympics to the modern games of today. The series examines the ideals, the events themselves, the stories of the athletes and the politics and financial considerations that were as much a part of the Olympics 2000 years ago as they are now. Appealing to sports fans as well as historians, the series juxtaposes contemporary footage with recreations of the early competitions in all their beauty and occasional savagery.

The story of Jewish life in Eastern Europe brought to life by some of the last remaining eyewitnesses. Accompanied by archival films, vintage photographs and traditional cantorial music, the film takes a realistic and enlightening look at this unique and all but vanished way of life. Rural communities often had no running water or electricity. Anti-Semitism was a part of daily life. Crowded conditions and poverty seemed to prevail but through the eyes of the individuals interviewed, Jewish communities were close-knit and often joyous places to live.
