Get an inside look at the rebuilding of a race car legend in this exciting documentary. In one-third of the time it typically takes to design and produce a high-quality automobile, the Ford Motor Co. brings their GT40 back to life as the 2005 Ford GT. The GT40 dominated the arduous Le Mans endurance race in the 1960s, besting every other high-speed racer. Now, it's been redesigned to put everyday drivers behind the wheel of a precision machine.

The Three Wise Men who visit Christ are the most mysterious characters in the Bible. They are the first recorded Christians in history - the first to worship Christ. Each year they appear on thousands of Christmas cards, and hymns about them are sung in cathedrals around the world.

They were the most powerful and influential family in the world. Richer than the Rockefellers, mightier than the Tudors. They were the Medici. They bankrolled the Renaissance and ignited the Reformation. They were soldiers, bankers, politicians and Popes - and they dominated Europe for 300 years.

In April 1167 B.C the unthinkable happenad. The Pharaoh was murdered in his harem. The murderers used black magic to silence the guards and a poisonous snake to finish him off.

At the dawn of Egyptian civilization, Imhotep built the first pyramid, became legendary as a physician, and governed the greatest state on earth. The ancients made him a god. Then Hollywood made him "The Mummy." Today, Egyptologists may have found his tomb, and it could be the greatest discovery of the 2Oth century. By now, millions of people around the world know the name of Imhotep, the Egyptian high priest who turned into 'The Mummy.'

This is a documentary, going into a specific plot to kill Hitler. A group of experts try to recreate the events, and test two variations on it, to see how close the people actually came to succeeding. It consists of the experiment, old footage from the period and recreations. They give some basic background to the attempt, and there's plenty of info about it, the room, the placement of the target, etc. They also show the actual explosions that they cause(all in the interest of historical exploration, of course).

Follow archaeologist Dr. Zahi Hawass in his international campaign to recover Egypt's most iconic stolen treasures. For more than two hundred years, since Napol?on Bonaparte's expeditionary force landed at Alexandria in 1798, the Nile Valley has been systematically looted of its treasures.

WHO WAS CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS? The answer to this deceptively simple question is undergoing a sea change. The rote response based on dusty, if questionable, documents in Genoa and recited in primary schools in the Old World and New is that Cristoforo Colombo, born in 1451: was an Italian ,was the son of lowly wool-workers, and therefore uneducated as well as lacking in experience in seamanship had legions of relatives in his hometown Genoa, none of them noble. Historians and scientists questioning Columbus' heritage have put modern forensic techniques to work to help answer questions. Perhaps the most critical is DNA testing performed this year on bones that are believed to be those of Christopher Columbus, as well as remains from Columbus' son (Hernando) and brother(Diego). Annunciada Colon, Columbus' direct descendent, handed over the key to a burial chest, disinterred from the Cathedral in Seville, Spain, that is reported to hold Columbus' bones. But there is debate about whether Columbus' body which was moved repeatedly over the centuries actually rests there. Dr. Antonio Lorente of the University of Granada in Spain, a specialist in forensic genetics, is attempting to compare the genetic material from the three sets of remains to see if he can prove that this is Columbus.

Black Sky: The Race For Space is a 2004 Discovery Channel documentary about Space Ship One, and how a small team backed by Paul Allen achieved human suborbital spaceflight and won the Ansari X Prize. It contains insights about how the rocketplane was built, the challenges they faced when they flew it, the vision of Burt Rutan about the future of this technology (tier two and three), and his thoughts about NASA and government. It won a Peabody Award in 2004.[2]

At the Bath Iron Works in Maine, follow the construction of one of these impressive vessels from its keel laying to its initial slide into the Kennebec River.

Discovery Channel Embarks On a Virtual Expedition to DRAIN THE OCEAN For an Unprecedented View of What Lies Beneath Digital ocean mapping and CGI technology vividly illustrate the mountains,plains, canyons and creatures of the deep as never seen before,revealing a world of almost unimaginable scale right here on Earth - The oceans cover three-quarters of our planet, hiding a whole other world beneath the waves. If we could pull an imaginary plug at the bottom of the sea and, layer by layer, expose the majesty and mystery of what lies beneath, we would be astounded. Narrated by Avery Brooks (STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE) and combining the latest scientific data with state-of-the-art CGI computer hardware plus specially written software, this innovative and visually striking special drains the water from the oceans to reveal the mountains, canyons, plains and volcanoes that are more dramatic than anything visible on dry land. The ocean is the last frontier and images of the deep are only glimpsed in the lights of a submarine or ROVs (remotely operated vehicles), with most of this undersea world having never known the light of the sun. Leading international scientists and institutes in the field of oceanography and marine science join in this quest to lay bare the landscapes of the deep and share their experiences and ideas about what this mysterious world might look like. Deep water corals that rival an urban skyline in size, a submerged canyon that is bigger than the Grand Canyon, a mountain range that runs for 65,000km - all these features have only been known in recent decades and while exploring these fascinating landscapes, scientists have discovered life forms that they had no idea existed - or could exist - in these bizarre, hostile environments. Combining CGI with cutting-edge digital ocean-mapping technology, leading oceanographers and geologists re-create the spectacular formations growing and shifting below the waves of the world's oceans.
