Journey to 10,000 BC

Formato: TV rip
Ano: 2008
Synopsis: 10,000 B.C. was a time of cataclysmic change on Earth. Extreme climactic fluctuations hurled the planet into a minor ice age; megafauna like the saber-toothed tiger and woolly mammoth were suddenly becoming extinct; and early humans began to inhabit North America. Cold and hungry, their fragile communities undertook perilous hunting expeditions. The slaughter of a single mammoth, weighing nearly ten tons, could be the difference between survival and death.
JOURNEY TO 10,000 B.C. brings this unique and thrilling period to life, and investigates the geologic and climate changes that scientists are just beginning to understand. In a major forensic investigation, HISTORY visits early human archaeological sites to uncover fossilized bones, ancient dwellings, and stone weapons, and uses state-of-the-art CGI to recreate the treacherous mammoth hunts and the devastating impact of a comet colliding with Earth.

Great Books IV: The Odyssey

Formato: DVD
Ano: 1996

Synopsis: Men have been embarking on odysseys since the dawn of civilization. In 1970, Captain James Lovell, commander of the ill-fated Apollo XIII mission named his command module Odyssey. Looking up the definition of odyssey, you'll find it means a long voyage with many changes of fortune, and that it was - in spades. But the granddaddy of all odysseys comes to us from a thousand years before Christ, the story of a mythical Greek warrior named Odysseus and his search for home. Together with its companion poem, The Iliad, they form western literature's first action adventure story, written by the man we call Homer. It is a grand adventure, an allegory of all our lives, writ large. We first meet Odysseus in The Iliad, during one of the most famous wars in history, The Trojan War. We think the actual war happened, if it happened at all, around 1200 BC. It is in The Iliad that we read of Helen of Troy, "The Face That Launched A Thousand Ships", and in The Odyssey, the Trojan Horse, which taught us to beware of Greeks bearing gifts, or gifts bearing Greeks. So the warriors of The Iliad have left a legacy from the sublime to the ridiculous: Achilles can be found in medical books; Ajax is on every supermarket shelf; names and images that have survived three thousand years appear and reappear, known and unknown. It is these stories that are the first stories of Western civilization, and every time you pick up one of these stories, you're on the edge of something archetypal, something that's always - and always will be - within us.

Synopsis: DVD EXPLORES ANCIENT MYTHS, MYSTERIESTHAT INSPIRED HOLLYWOOD MOVIE TROY
WASHINGTON, D.C., 30 April 2004—In anticipation of the blockbuster film set for for release on 14 May 2004, National Geographic takes an inside look at the ancient myths and unsolved mysteries that inspired the movie Troy in the new DVD National Geographic Beyond the Movie: Troy. Through dramatic recreations, interviews and expert analysis, the film traces the legend of Troy to the people, places and events behind what has been called the greatest love story ever told and the most sweeping war epic in history.
Was there a great Trojan War? Was it a battle over love or commerce, and what ultimately destroyed this once great city? Some questions have already been answered, but even more have yet to be resolved. One thing is for sure: The story Homer told thousands of years ago appears to be based upon more than a poet's imagination.
Comparing fact to fiction, the film reveals a complex story of ancient stones, masked skeletons and stolen gold, perhaps even more fantastic than Homer's original tale.
The journey begins with eccentric businessman Heinrich Schliemann, who would later be heralded as the father of archaeology. Obsessed with proving the veracity behind Homer's epic poems, Schliemann traveled from northwestern Turkey to Greece in pursuit of the lost cities of Mycenae and Troy. In the process, he discovered much more, including treasures dating a thousand years before the time of the reputed Trojan War — treasures that would later become the subject of intrigue and the source of conflict among various counties laying claim to them.
But while Schliemann was able to uncover some remarkable finds, it was not until a century later that teams from the University of Tübingen and the University of Cincinnati unearthed information revealing the true size and scope of the ancient city of Troy.
The DVD Beyond the Movie: Troy includes a supplemental feature, "Recreating Troy: Behind the Scenes with National Geographic," which provides a look at the access, locations and recreations that attempt to bring ancient Troy to life.
