Stonehenge Decoded

STONEHENGE DECODED (2008)

Stonehenge is one of the most mysterious prehistoric sites known to us and for centuries its purpose has been the source of intense speculation. Now in our ground-breaking special, British archaeologist Professor Mike Parker Pearson unearths surprising evidence supporting a radical new vision of Stonehenge.

His theory suggests that the stone circle was at the centre of one of the largest prehistoric religious complexes in the world. Parker Pearson and his team uncover the first evidence of a 4,500 year-old lost settlement – with at least 300 houses, it is the largest Stone Age settlement ever found in northern Europe.

At its centre lie the remains of a near replica of Stonehenge built of wood. He believes that Stonehenge was built to house the spirits of the dead while the wood circle represented the living. Further evidence suggests thousands of people gathered here at the summer and winter solstices.

Nasca Lines Decoded

DECODING NASCA (2010)

Since their discovery in the 1920s, the Nasca lines have remained shrouded in mystery. Why were they constructed? What purpose did they ultimately serve? Over the years, the Nasca puzzle has inspired a number of colorful hypotheses.

Astronomical theory

In 1941, history professor Paul Kosok traveled to Nasca to see the famous geoglyphs and happened to observe the sun setting directly over one of the long pampa lines. He was struck by the idea that the lines could be linked to the positions of the sun and other stars at different times of the year—an immense astronomical calendar written on the ground, or as Kosok put it, “the largest astronomy book in the world.”

A German mathematics teacher, Maria Reiche, took an interest in Kosok’s idea and spent much of her life studying the Nasca geoglyphs in this new astronomical context and fighting to preserve them, becoming a legendary figure in southern Peru for her unflagging efforts.

However, subsequent analyses by astronomers Gerald Hawkins and Anthony Aveni have conclusively demonstrated any connections between the Nasca lines and certain stars to be statistically insignificant and therefore meaningless.

Aliens theory

Erich von Däniken, author of the best-selling book Chariots of the Gods?, proposed and popularized the idea that aliens were responsible for building many of the ancient world’s greatest landmarks, including the Nasca lines. He argues that the huge geometric geoglyphs (e.g. trapezoids) can be understood as “an airfield... built according to instructions from an aircraft.” Other enormous ground drawings supposedly functioned as signals to the extraterrestrials, who are described by van Däniken as “human-like beings with golden, shimmering skins.”

According to this theory, the aliens visited Peru’s southern desert in ancient times, then departed, upon which the native population continued building the geoglyphs in an attempt to woo the aliens back. The Nasca people may have believed they were worshipping the gods, but van Däniken concludes: “If we just replace the little word ‘gods’ with ‘extraterrestrials’ we’ve finally hit the nail on the head.”

Needless to say, archaeologists and other scientists have found no evidence to suggest that aliens visited the Peruvian desert or were responsible for the construction of the lines.

Subterranean water theory

This more recent theory put forward by researcher David Johnson links the Nasca geoglyphs to sources of underground water that would have been critical to desert-dwelling people. Johnson believes that many geometric geoglyphs mark the locations of geological faults bearing flows of subterranean water. In other words, the Nasca lines can be viewed as a complex map of underground water resources.

Some shapes, such as trapezoids, were built directly over the top of these faults, while others merely point in their direction, and still others mark the boundaries of these aquifers or the places where the water flow changes direction.

While this hypothesis is intriguing, most archaeologists believe Johnson lacks the evidence to prove his case.

Machu Picchu Decoded

A National Geographic documentary about the fascinating and mysterious pre-Columbian Inca lost city of Machu Picchu.



Deep in the Andean mountains lays a mysterious ruin named Machu Picchu. For 400 years it sat abandoned on its misty cliff, the quintessential lost city in the jungle. Rediscovered in 1911, it contained no written records or carvings, nothing that could shed light on its history. For a century since, it has defied the endless scores of visitors and scientists who attempted to understand its purpose. Who were the mysterious people who built it and why did they build it here? Today an international team of archeologists, engineers and scientists are finally piecing together the clues. Together they are discovering astonishing new burials, revealing the intricacies of its ingenious engineering and finally decoding the secrets of Machu Picchu.

Izgubljeni biblijski gradovi (Zagonetke Biblije)

To je jedan od najstrašnijih dijelova Biblije... priča o dvama gradovima koji su se izopačili: Bog je razorio Sodomu i Gomoru zbog neoprostivih grijeha. A stoljećima nakon što se obračunao sa Sodomom i Gomorom, Bog se udružio s Jošuom kako bi pokorio još jedan zastranjeli grad: Jerihon. Jesu li te biblijske priče utemeljene na zbilji ili su samo moralne alegorije? Proučavatelji Biblije i drugi znanstvenici proučit će arheološke i geološke dokaze kako bi riješili zagonetke izgubljenih gradova.
