Description
Imagine being able to storm the beaches at Normandy, man the lifeboats of the Titanic, and break ground for the Panama Canal--- all in one sitting. Historic adventure can be yours in this extraordinary program, which brings to life these events as well as ten unforgettable others. Narrated by Star Trek's Leonard Nimoy, this program tells its stories through both archival footage and vivid reenactments, capturing the full emotion and drama of these earth-shaping, often life-shattering events. It also takes you to each of the event sites as they exist today, still remarkably possessed by the power of the past. In bringing out the vital excitement of history, the program covers the following events: Egypt: Treasures of Tutankhamen; Everest: Adventure at the Top of the World; Gettysburg: The Bloodiest Battle; The Holy Land: The Riddle of the Dead Sea Scrolls; Jerusalem: Mystery of the Lost Ark; Normandy: The D-Day Invasion; The North Atlantic: The Titanic Disaster; The Panama Canal: Against All Odds; Pearl Harbor: Day of Infamy; Pompeii: Day of Destruction; St. Petersburg: Last Days of the Romanovs; The Taj Mahal: A Love Story; The Tower of London: The Tragedy of Anne Boleyn.
