5.00 p.m. |DCIVC| History's Mysteries: Hidden Tomb Of Antiochus
King Antiochus was the ruler of an ancient kingdom in what is now southern Turkey; because of an ancient Greek inscription that points the way to his tomb, he has not had an easy rest in the last several decades.
11.00 p.m. |HINT| Barbarians: Huns.
The Huns were a mysterious people who fell upon the European continent like the vengeance of God. Some say the Chinese built the Great Wall to keep them out. In the 5th century, the Huns struck a divided and decaying Roman Empire. The Romans tried to deal with them diplomatically, even allowing children of Roman nobility to live as guests (hostages) in Hun camps. One of these, Aetius, would become one of Rome's greatest generals, and it was he who would face one of the Huns' greatest rulers--Attila.
