Documentaries - Ancient & Lost Civilizations

I don't know about you guys but I'm all about a good documentary. IMO BBC does them best but History Channel, Discovery and A&E all have their moments too. Heres a few good ones I've come across on the Googles if anyone else in interested

If I come across more, I'll add them to the list. Have a good one guys

Wow, thanks for this! This should keep me occupied for most of the day!

You, sir, are the man.

Starred and flagged.

A couple of years ago Digging for the Truth has a 2 hour special on Atlantis. It was pretty great, not sure where it would be found online

NICE.

Now I just have to find the time to watch these.

Great find!

Thanks a lot. Now I have something to do at work today. Much appreciated.

No prob dudes

Personally I think Google video is the best for streaming shows, higher resolution than the You Tubes and 1 continuous part rather than 15 or so. Hopefully more people start uploading high quality shows like those by BBC more often, I know BBC unlike most others, doesn't mind it's programs being reproduced as long as it's not for profit.

The Lost Pyramids Of Caral was the only one I hadn't seen, I did yesterday and it's pretty interesting stuff. It's about the discovery of a pyramid complex almost as old as Egypt's, but in in the Americas, which eventually became the Mayans/Aztecs/Peruvians. Surprisingly they were not a violent people but traders who liked their jungle drugs and jungle sex I wonder how they went from those roots to a brutal, warring people, employing human sacrifice.

So Sorry, ATS!

Massive internet problems. ATS mods please remove these posts immediately.

My net locked up, and I accidentally turbo-posted via my "back" button.

Won't happen again!

I am a Ancient Mysteries & Lost Civilizations Documentary Freak.
If you like to have some/many links of documentaries on youtube, read the comment section on my profile. There are quite a lot of links of these documetaries broken into 5 or 6 parts each.

Watch & Enjoy.

Hello,

Thanks for posting all of these guys. I really like the Ancient History documentaries.
I normally just go to Google video and type "mystery" or " ancient" into the search and find a documentary from there but this comprehensive list will be extremely useful.

Keep me busy for a weekk.

Thanks

Guys also check out Graham Hancock's - Quest for the lost civilisation (3 hours) and John Anthony West's - Magical Egypt (8 hours). Both are fantastic.

I'm watching the first movie with the Sphinx and all I can think of in my mind is "Get your filthy paws off me you Damn Dirty Ape!"

Great collection of Documentaries,

Would not be complete though, and to be honest all pale into insignificance with the Below.

Moses story is proven to be true, the caves he lived in found!

Mount Sinai has been found and explored.

The altar of the Golden calf photographed

The crossing on the red sea also discovered and walked across!!

The Saudi Arabians are guarding it with the Military 24/7 as this footage below shows.

One of the most profound documentaries I have ever seen!
