Naslov epizode: THE VANISHED CAPITAL OF PHAROAH



Epizoda: 1
Arheološko detektivsko putovanje vodi nas u drevni svijet ne bismo li otkrili njegova davno zakopana blaga, odnosno njegove velike izgubljene gradove. Kako ta legendarna mjesta doista izgledaju, tko je u njima živio i zašto su nestala? Neka od najvećih čuda drevnoga svijeta i dalje su zakopana pod našim nogama, nitko ih nije vidio, a kamoli istražio, pa ova dokumentarna serija otkriva legendarna mjesta nestala prije tisuću godina.

1. epizoda:

Riječ je o jednome od najveličanstvenijih nestanaka u povijesti. Pirameses, nevjerojatan glavni grad Ramsesa II., u drevnim se tekstovima opisuje kao najveličanstveniji grad staroga Egipta. Grad je bio otkriven tek nakon što su znanstvenici otkrili da se tok Nila promijenio i da je grad tako ostao negdje daleko u pustinji.

Trajanje: 52 min.
Odabrao: Đelo Hadžiselimović
Produkcija: BBC

Perfektno! To moram gledat. Naravno da je serija odlična kad ju je odabrao Đelo Hadžiselimović!

Koliko sam mogao vidjeti na netu i iz najave na TV-u izgleda odlično.

Inače, umjesto Nedjeljom u 2 ide dokumentarac "Crveni blijesak raketa", o svemirskim nesrećama i razvoju pogonskih tehnologija.

Oce biti o Pompejima?

Nešto je bilo ali na NG-u, na Max tv-u. No, bilo bi dobro kad bi i HTV prikazivao vrhunske povijesne dokumse.

LOST CITIES OF THE ANCIENTS



EPISODE 1: THE VANISHED CITY OF THE PHARAOH



A journey to discover the legendary lost city of Piramesse. This magnificent ancient capital was built 3000 years ago by the Egyptian pharaoh Ramesses the Great, but long ago the whole city disappeared. When it was finally rediscovered by early archaeologists, it opened up a bizarre puzzle - because when Piramesse was finally found, it was in the wrong place - somewhere Ramesses the Great could not possibly have built it. Recreating the stories of both the early archaeologists and the ancient Egyptians, this film enters a lost world, recounting the strange tale of the quest for Piramesse, and following the intriguing detective work of modern archaeologists Manfred Bietak and Edgar Pusch as they solve the baffling mystery of how this great lost city could vanish, only to reappear thousands of years later - in the wrong place.





EPISODE 2: THE CURSED VALLEY OF THE PYRAMIDS



In the Lambeyeque valley in Northern Peru lies a strange lost world - the forgotten ruins of 250 mysterious pyramids, including some of the biggest on the planet, colossal structures made out of mud bricks.



Long ago, the Lambeyeque people were haunted by a terrible fear and believed that building pyramids was essential to their survival. Their obsession reached its height at a city called Tucume, an eerie place of 26 pyramids standing side-by-side, the last pyramids this civilization created before they vanished forever.



What was the fear that drove these people to build so many pyramids, what were they for, and why did the whole civilization suddenly vanish? This film captures the moments when archaeologists at the site uncovered a mass of bodies of human sacrifice victims, following a trail of clues into the dark story of Tucume. It recreates the strange rituals of the people of the valley, revealing a civilisation whose obsession to build pyramids eventually turned to horror, until Tucume finally vanished in a bloody frenzy of human sacrifice.

EPISODE 3: THE DARK LORDS OF HATTUSHA



It was one of the greatest vanishing acts in history. More than 3000 years ago a mysterious and ruthless civilization rose from nothing, created a brutal and unstoppable army, and built an Empire that rivalled Egypt and Babylon. And yet, just as it was at the height of its powers, this great empire suddenly vanished from history.



This is the story of the formidable Hittites, a civilization bent on world domination. Their long lost capital, Hattusha, which disappeared thousands of years ago, has now been rediscovered and archaeologists have unearthed here one of the most astonishing and ingenious cities of the ancient world - with rings of impenetrable walls, secret tunnels, temples and palaces - and even a vast pyramid-like structure, facing Egypt. And buried in this lost city is one of the greatest libraries of the ancient world. All the secrets of this mysterious empire were written in two codes - one a unique form of hieroglyphs. Using these deciphered texts, this film recreates the lost world of the Hittites, telling the story of what happened to them, and what caused an empire built to last forever to vanish so completely from history.

Ajme izgleda odlicno

Ovo cu obavezno gledat

moglo bi se pogledat


pa i to ce ici, bas sam gledao jucer najavu

E, moj Zvonkec... uvijek me razočaraš. Očekivao sam da više voliš povijest, a kad ono... kao "moglo bi se pogledat". Al dobro, svatko voli šta voli pa nek izvoli, jel tak?

Ali taj serijal moram pod OBAVEZNO pogledat. Jel to ide svake ned?

Yap, iduća tri tjedna, nedjeljom popodne.

Mnogo good! Trebao bi skemijat da si to nekako snimim. Ali jbga, nemam video koji ima scart... damm!

Inače, odlična je i serija The Ancient Rome: The Rise and The Fall of the Empire. Baš ju namjeravam skinuti.

Ancient Rome: The Rise and Fall of an Empire



This dramatised documentary series tells the story of the rise and fall of Ancient Rome through the six key turning points. Factually accurate and based on extensive historical research, it reveals how the greed, lust and ambition of men like Caesar, Nero and Constantine shaped the Roman Empire. It describes how Rome destroyed Carthage, was conquered by Caesar, how it suppressed the Jewish revolt, and converted to Christianity. CGI is mixed with compelling drama and spectacular live-action battles to tell the definitive television story of how the Empire was formed, how it achieved maximum power, and why it eventually failed.


Episode 1: Caesar



This programme focuses on the most famous Roman of all - Caesar. Charming, savage, power-crazed, opportunistic and brilliant, he overthrew a 500-year-old Republic and began the age of the emperors.

Episode 2: Nero



This programme focuses on Nero, charting his obsession with becoming a god, how his plans to turn Rome into a glorious city bankrupted the Empire, how he married his slaveboy and killed his beloved wife in a frenzy, and how he was finally overthrown.

Episode 3: Rebellion



This episode tells the story of the Jewish Revolt, which swept through Judea in AD 66 and threatened to destabilise the whole empire. Rome turned to the disgraced General Vespasian and his son Titus to put it down. Filled with spectacular sieges and huge set-piece action, the film pits the discipline and ingenuity of the Roman army against the passion and commitment of the rebels.

Episode 4: Revolution



Rome was once a largely democratic society, with regular elections. This Republic lasted for 500 years, but then came Tiberius Gracchus. He believed in the ideals of the Republic - fairness, decency and justice for everyone -but was appalled by Rome's aristocrats' treatment of the poor. So he unleashed the power of the mob upon the streets of Rome, with devastating consequences.

Episode 5: Constantine



This episode tells the story of how the Emperor Constantine brought Christianity to the western world. In AD 312, Rome was in crisis. The empire had been divided into four parts, each with its own emperor who fought one another. Constantine intervened and united Rome, using military might and a new religion - Christianity.

Episode 6: The Fall of Rome



In AD 410, the Goth hordes sacked the city. This event symbolised Rome's collapse. Within 70 years, the western empire - what we think of as Ancient Rome - was abandoned. But it should never have happened at all.

Ah... sve bolje za boljim... Skinut ću si ju i ja... ili ćemo netko taj Rome skinut s torrenta.
