Imagine if you live in the Mayan Kingdom a thousand years ago. Your king is Yax Kuk Mo and he has captured many lands. You go to the ball game in your local arena and enjoy a game that looks very much like modern day soccer. Except, there are consequences for losing worse than being ridiculed on ESPN or having your million dollar contract bonus become vulnerable. No, back then the losing team lost their heads. Literally.

Using cutting edge technology, archeologist Richard Freund follows a trail of dust and bones back to the Holy Days of the Jewish Temple to challenge many perceptions we have about that time period: including whether Jesus even existed.

I really enjoyed this documentary – and, as someone who has gone to Jerusalem, I loved learning more about the generations who walked in our shadows.  Whether you are an atheist or an ultra orthodox Jew, Jerusalem humbles with its sheer history and reverence.

A mighty team of architects and engineers descend on the Parthenon to try and unlock its mysteries.  So little is actually known: how was it built, for example? And, how was it built so quickly? “Rome wasn’t built in a day,” but the Parthenon went up in just a few weeks. An incredible accomplishment for even today’s standards.  By whom? These questions are analysed like never before!

For me, there is one particular house that haunts me to this day, it still sends shivers up my spine when I think about it. I crept up the stairs with my brother, openly for what I thought was a decoration to jump out and scare me. I don’t think my feet touched a step as I leaped down them screaming. The memories of a great Halloween.

The Dark ages were remembered as an unfavourable time as the West was on the verge of a complete collapse and when the barbarian warlords weren’t fighting the Muslim invaders, Byzantine armies, and the Viking hordes they fought each other. The film recreates the period in the late 5th century A.D., just after the fall of Rome. The Roman Empire in the West had fallen and a battle between the Vandals, Goths, Lombards and Franks had broke out to divide up the fallen empire.

In the East though, it was a different story. What was left of the Empire lived under Emperor Justinian who became obsessed with reconquering the West and recapturing Rome. The Dark Ages continues to cover everything from King Clovis’ kingdom under the Merovingian dynasty to the Viking raids along the English and Irish coasts.

This is a great film for any student of history.
