Ancient Civilizations
- World History Video.
DVD.
9.5 Hours.
Walk among the
ancients in this fascinating “you are there” series! Meet legendary
rulers, visit powerful places and experience the extraordinary customs
of ordinary people in ancient times,
from
the Great Pyramids to the Roman Empire and beyond.
You will gain insight into what it must have been like to
experience the Ancient Roman sport of Gladiatorial battle. Expert
commentary and cutting-edge graphics make the distant past come
alive—with you at the heart of the action!
No other collection brings you this close to the Ancient World.
Disc #1:
Rome and Pompeii
- Imagine being among the bloodthirsty thousands at a
gladiator bout in the Colosseum or at the chariot races in Circus
Maximus.
Think of yourself among the decadent few in an ancient bath,
theatre, temple, or palace. Pretend you are an eyewitness to the burning
down of Nero's Rome. Feel the devastation caused by Mount Vesuvius in
Pompeii.
Thanks to the program's renowned team of Italian archeologists,
historians, and 2-D video artists, this program makes it all possible
with magnificent reconstructions of Rome and Pompeii as they existed
2,000 years ago. Satisfy your curiosity and experience these imperial
cities and how the people in each one really lived.
Extra Feature: Faith Unconquered.

Athens and Ancient Greece
- Ancient Greece is history's most unique civilization--and at last you
can see why. Computer graphics, archival film, and classic art combine
to recreate places and events never before seen.
Tour the Acropolis in the 5th Century B.C. Stand before Delphi's
Temple of Apollo where the oracle spoke. Gaze at the Statue of Athena
and the Parthenon, the pride and joy of the people. Walk through the

were created with simple tools and massive manpower.
Through computer reconstructions and the work of Egyptologists, you
will experience the true splendor of Ancient Egypt by viewing two of the
Seven Wonders of the Ancient World--the Great Pyramids and the Pharos
Lighthouse at Alexandria. Explore the Temple of Luxor, the Temple of
Ammon at Karnak, the Temple of Ramses, the Step Pyramid at Saqqara, and
the Great Temple of Abu Simbel with its four statues of Ramses II.
No other program provides you with such an accurate sense of what
Ancient Egyptian life was really like.
Extra Feature: Touring Egypt.
Disc #4:
Fall of the Aztec & Maya Empires
- The brilliant and powerful cultures
of Mesoamerica (Olmecs, Zapotecs, Toltecs, Aztecs and Maya) believed
that one day the God-man Quetzalcoatl would return from the east to
claim his rightful throne.
This idea was supported by a complex calendar and close
observations of the heavens. The coincidental arrival of the Spaniard
Hernando Cortez at the prescribed time fulfilled the fatal doctrine of
the great Empire cities.
Even before the Spaniards arrived in the 1520s, strife between the
rival city-states had already weakened their lands. Many of the great
Maya cities were deserted and left empty. This video story not only
traces the Spanish conquest of the Aztecs and Maya, but also follows the
journeys, in 1839, of New York explorer John L. Stephens to these
strange and wonderful cities.
Using computer graphic reconstruction, animated maps, classic art,
reenactment and beautiful on-location cinematography, the viewer sees
Teotihuacn, Cholula, Monte Albn, Chichn Itz, Tenochtitln, Tikal, Copn,
Uxmal, and Palenque as they might have looked 1,000 years ago before
defeat and decay brought about their tragic end.
Extra Feature: The Maya: Tombs, Temples & Time.
Disc #5:
Gladiators: Blood Sport of the
Coliseum
- The Roman Colosseum was the
setting for more terror, agony and horror than has ever been witnessed
anywhere.
Emperor Trajan gave one set of games that lasted 122 days, during
which 11,000 people and 10,000 wild beasts were killed. Often the fresh
blood of gladiators was used as a cure for epilepsy. It was also
considered a good luck charm for brides-to-be to dip their combs in
gladiator’s blood.
Who were the gladiators? Where did they come from? How did they
live? This fascinating video follows gladiators through their training,
choice of costumes, weapons and style of combat to their rise to stardom
and their inevitable violent death.
So popular did some gladiators become that many Roman women were
prepared to give anything to meet and be with the idol they worshiped. A
compelling video insight into the violent, deadly world of the
gladiators.
Extra Feature: Colosseum, House of Terror; Flamma, Gladiator Superstar;
Gladiators of Hollywood, Training Killers, and more.
Disc #6:
Cleopatra: The First Woman of Power
- For centuries, the real Cleopatra
has been shrouded behind legends and myths. Roman and Greek accounts—the
records most widely scrutinized—have portrayed the Queen of Egypt as a
brazen temptress who corrupted both Caesar and Marc Antony.
But was this portrait an accurate one? Cleopatra: The First Woman
of Power considers the legendary queen from the perspective of the
Egyptians.
Their records portray her as a visionary ruler and brilliant
strategist, motivated not by wanton lust or greed but a genuine concern
for her kingdom. The Egyptians saw Cleopatra as a strong leader who won
the loyalty of a distrustful populace, resisted Roman rule for twenty
years and amassed a fortune so great that Rome’s interest rates dropped
by two-thirds when her treasure was brought there upon her death.
This program utilizes re-enactments, original location footage and
interviews with leading historians to look behind the legends and shed
light on this woman who has captivated generations.
Extra Feature: Interactive menus; Biographies; Chapter search; Cleopatra
facts; Dolby digital; Timeline.
