Secrets of Lost Empires 1 Set
Our Price: $39.95

Uncover the secrets of ancient civilizations as NOVA journeys to five archaeological sites where teams of experts use traditional techniques to test their hypotheses. Stonehenge watches a band of experts move, raise and cap a structure like the mysterious Stonehenge-- armed with Stone Age tools. Inca explores magnificent mountainside citadels-- and marvels as villagers create a 150-foot suspension bridge using nothing but grass. Obelisk faces the challenge of quarrying, chiseling, hauling and mounting an obelisk--- using stones, ropes, logs and dirt. Colosseum tries out two possible designs for the canopy that once covered the Colosseum-- one of them borrowed from ancient ships. Pyramid joins the race to erect an 18-foot stone pyramid in three weeks-- while testing out some clever construction theories.
Cracking the Maya Code
Our Price: $24.95

The ancient Maya civilization of Central America left behind a riddle: an intricate and mysterious hieroglyphic script carved on stone monuments and painted on pottery and bark books. Because the invading Spanish suppressed nearly all knowledge of how the script worked, unlocking its meaning posed one of archaeology's fiercest challenges, until now. For the first time, NOVA presents the epic inside story of how the decoding was done, told by the experts at the center of one of archaeology's greatest detective stories. Cracking the Maya Code highlights the ingenious breakthroughs that opened the door to deciphering the elaborate and exotic script and finally cracked the code, unleashing a flood of dramatic new insights about the ancient civilization.
