Episodes

Episode 1 Aired Jan 16, 2026 Impossible Ancient Structures All over the world stand ancient structures so massive, precise, and baffling that they seem impossible for not just their time, but ours as well; from colossal walls and giant stone tombs to temples carved from solid rock, how did ancient civilizations achieve feats of engineering that still defy modern understanding? Details Episode 2 Aired Jan 23, 2026 Nightmares and Dreams Dreams have inspired humanity for thousands of years and in all this time, we have yet to answer one fundamental question: What is the purpose of dreams? From nightmares linked to unexplained deaths and more. Details Episode 3 Aired Jan 30, 2026 Unnatural Disasters Throughout history, catastrophic disasters have reshaped civilizations -- yet some events defy all scientific expectations. Details Episode 4 Aired Feb 13, 2026 Mysteries of Ancient Africa Africa is the birthplace of humanity and remains one of the most mysterious continents on Earth. From lost cities buried beneath shifting sands, to abandoned ruins steeped in fascinating folklore, to the elusive tomb of history's most mighty queen, what secrets lie hidden throughout Africa's vast and unexplored ancient landscape? Details Episode 5 Aired Feb 20, 2026 Mind Over Matter The human mind is home to all our thoughts, hopes, dreams, and memories. The organ we call the brain not only keeps us alive; it allows us to interpret and experience the incredible world we live in. But are there people who are "wired" differently than most of us? Can unique circumstances permit some to tap into extra-sensory abilities that defy nature? Details Episode 6 Aired Feb 27, 2026 Mighty Kingdoms Unearthed Throughout civilization there are many kingdoms and mighty empires that have risen, only to one day fall. And for some of them-like the Inca that built Machu Picchu-their eventual demise remains a mystery. What can we discover from clues left behind by these once great empires? Could the Vikings, using their longships and traits as skilled navigators, have travelled farther into America than what we are led to believe? Details
