ANCIENT WORLDS - LOST TREASURES
DISC ONE - ANCIENT ROME
Rome was the centre of one of the most remarkable and influential of all ancient civilisations; where the Forum played host to great affairs of state... where the people flocked to the Colosseum to see gladiators fight to the death in mortal combat. This programme provides a colourful, entertaining and informative guide to the treasures left to us by a truly extraordinary people. Featuring: - Computer animated sequences and 3D graphics - Vivid, authentic filmed recreations - Period imagery - New location footage of Rome today - Concise comment and analysis from Amanda Claridge, Archaeologist and Author, Dr Janet De Laine, Archaeologist, and Dr Christopher Pelling, Classic Historian.
DISC TWO - ANCIENT EGYPT
Think of ancient Egypt and you think of the great Pyramids at Giza - but these incredible structures are not the only treasures left to us by a truly remarkable civilisation. This programme visits, explores and restores such wonders as the Temples at Al Karnak and Luxor, the Temple at Abu Simnel and the Mortuary Temple of Hatsepsut.

DISC THREE - ANCIENT GREECE
It is a sad fact that many Grecian achievements were destroyed by those who subsequently conquered the land: however those that survive are a testimony to Greek skill and ideals. 'Lost Treasures' takes the viewer on an incredible journey to witness the breathtaking beauty of the Acropolis and The Parthenon - now and as they once were - and the majesty of the remains at Delphi, including the inspiring temple of Zeus. Featuring: - New location footage - Stylish period reconstructions - Ground-breaking 3D graphics and animation sequences - Interpretation and analysis by the world's leading authorities including Dr John Bennett of the Institute of Archaeology, Oxford, Peter Clayton, Egyptologist, Niall McKeon, Birmingham University and Dr Chris Pelling of University College, Oxford.
