Ancient Mysteries: Atlantis – The Lost Civilization - $19.99 Take a riveting look at the legend that has sparked the imagination of historical scholars for centuries as A&E’s Ancient Mysteries explores the lost civilization of Atlantis. Originally referenced in Plato’s dialogues around the year 360 BC, Atlantis has been rumored to have been the dwelling place of everything from average humans, to larger-than-life giants, and even extraterrestrials – yet despite centuries of research into the matter, definitive proof of Atlantis’ existence has yet to be discovered. Did Atlantis truly exist? If so, who were the beings that populated this mythical, Atlantic Ocean island? In addition to exploring the possibilities that Bimini, Santorini, Troy, or the Canary Islands may in fact harbor the answers to this age-old question, filmmakers also explore the possibility that Atlantis may have already been discovered and perhaps even excavated. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi |

Ancient Mysteries: The Hidden City of Petra - $19.99 The city of Petra is the subject of this installment of a series exploring ancient mysteries. Petra is located in present day Jordan, and was the capital of an ancient Arabic kingdom called Nabataea, which flourished from the 4th century B.C. to the 2nd century A.D. Once a vital trade center, Petra passed into memory until its ruins were discovered by Jakob Burckhardt in 1812. The magnificent city is carved into a russet colored mountain, accessible only by a two mile chasm that leads into it. Entering into the confines of this natural configuration, one finds an astonishing sight: 35 miles of temples, tombs, streets, and canal systems. Beautiful frescoes and pottery remain as silent witnesses to the mysterious past of a ophisticated, technologically advanced civilization. The viewer goes on location with archeological teams as they search for clues to this little known chapter in human history. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, Rovi |

Ancient Mysteries: Blood and Treasure in Peru - $19.99 Discover the secret history of treasures dating back to the Moche, a pre-Columbian civilization from Peru, in this installment of A&E’s Ancient Mysteries. In 1987, spectacular ancient artifacts of solid gold and silver began flowing the art market. Trouble was, no one could quite figure out where these exquisite treasures came from. The answer, as it turns out, would be rather surprising. According to looters, the items were taken during a grave robbery near the remote village of Sip?n, Peru. Upon investigating, archeologists discovered the richest burial site in the Western Hemisphere – the Royal Tombs of Sip?n. Thanks to the eroded pyramids just outside of Sip?n, the site had remained hidden for centuries. Now, for the first time ever, viewers get to descend down into the stunning tombs and follow the remarkable trail of clues that led to one of the most astonishing discoveries on modern archeology. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi |
