6.00 p.m. |HINT| The Odyssey of Troy
What is it about the legendary city that more than 3,000 years after
its fall, we still try to unravel Troy's mysteries? Scholars attempt
to answer the question by researching the Greek poet Homer, possibly
one of the greatest poets in Western Europe's history, and his epic
tale of love and war, and comparing his text to archaeological
sites.
7.00 p.m. |NG| Jesus: The Preacher
How did Jesus really travel around Galilee to spread his message to
his followers? NGC examines the places Jesus went, the people he
spoke with and the lessons he taught. Using the gospels as a guide
coupled with expert analysis, viewers will get insidethe mind of
Jesus and the long-dead language he spoke. Jesus: The Preacher also
reenacts the famous "Sermon on the Mount," examining how far Jesus'
voice would have carried and how many followers would have heard his
speech.
8.00 p.m. |HISTC| DIGGING FOR THE TRUTH II | Troy
The Iliad is one of the most famous literary works of the Western
world. It's an epic tale of Greek Gods, earthly soldiers, and a
decade-long fight over the most beautiful woman in the world. But,
could the Iliad be based on fact? Could the Trojan War really have
happened? Josh Bernstein travels to Greece and Turkey on the search
for Troy. Along the way, he'll learn what it took to live and fight
on the coasts of the Aegean in the late Bronze Age. He'll test the
tools of Trojan warriors, and he'll uncover a city in northern Turkey
that just might prove the Iliad was far more than a simple work of
fiction.
8.00 p.m. |HINT| Jerusalem
In this history of the storied Holy City and the dominant building
at the Temple, which once contained the Ark of the Covenant, we visit
the sacred city where Jesus spent his last days on earth, and the
mysterious temple under which so many secrets may be buried. Viewers
will feel as if they walk in Christ's footsteps in this documentary
featuring new location footage, stylish period reconstructions,
groundbreaking 3D graphics and animation sequences, and
interpretation and analysis by the world's leading authorities,
including explorer and archaeologist Richard Andrews, Dr. David
Jacobson from the Palestine Exploration Fund, and Professor Martin
Goodman from the Center for Hebrew and Jewish Studies.
9.00 p.m. |NG| The Hunt for the Lost Ark
The Hunt for the Lost Ark takes an epic scholarly journey around the
world, in search of the truth behind one of the most coveted
artifacts of the Bible. The Ark of the Covenant was terrifying beyond
belief - consuming those who sought to look upon it infire. According
to tradition, the Israelites used it to destroy their enemies and
assure their conquest of the Holy Land. And then, in perhaps the
greatest biblical riddle ever, the Ark simply vanished...and the
scriptures never mentioned it again.
