ANCIENT DISCOVERIES SERIES 1 Today we live in a world unimaginable to even our great-grandparents. It’s an age of hi-tech, jet aircraft, supercomputers and intelligent machines. Since the Industrial Revolution our world has progressed at lightning pace, leaving all previous civilisations far behind it. Or has it? Ancient Discoveries explores the amazing high technology of the Classical World and asks why, with all these incredible devices, the Industrial Revolution didn’t happen two thousand years earlier. SBS Television 2003. 6SBAD Computing The computer - a device for making automatic calculations. The first electrical computers only emerged in the Second World War, the first mechanical ones barely a hundred years earlier. Yet two thousand two hundred years before that the Greeks had machines that could do exactly the same things. This program takes us back to the classical world of the third century BC to tell the stories of three of the most important machines in history - Ctesibius’ clock, Vitruvius’ odometer and the spectacular Antikythera mechanism. DVD - 6SBAD1 Price $132 Robotics ‘Robotics’ explores the life and three key areas of invention of Heron of Alexandria. Beginning in the dark recesses of an Egyptian temple we will witness the aweinspiring operations of his ‘miracle machines’, from automatic doors and magically suspended spheres, to mechanical singing birds, coin-operated slot machines and speaking statues - all designed to inspire wonder in the congregation and provide revenue for the priests. But, greatest of all, was Heron’s steam engine, a working device that was not only the first steam engine in history but also the first jet engine. DVD - 6SBAD2 Price $132 Medicine We take a look into the grisly but brilliant surgeries of the great ancient physicians to witness three procedures common at the time but which would not be attempted successfully again for nearly two thousand years. In the tomb of a Roman surgeon in Germany we find the exquisite tools used to perform eye surgery. More extraordinary still we uncover evidence of the most dangerous of all operations - brain surgery. Finally we explore the workings of what is still one of the most highly contentious finds from the ancient world - the Baghdad Battery suggested to be an electrical anaesthetic device.

DVD - 6SBAND3 Price $132 SAVE Full Series - Price $297 set of 3 3 x 50 Map Makers The Map Makers is a beautiful and compelling 3 part series on the history and major developments in map making. A map is more than a geographical representation of land. It is an image which mirrors a society’s political, religious and cultural vision of itself. Each episode includes period reconstructions, beautiful location sequences and expert interviews. Episode 1: The Waldseemuller Map 1507 There was a time when the edges of our world were a mystery. The discovery of the ‘New World’ by explorers such as Columbus and Vespucci, changed the way people would view the world forever. Episode 2: The Mercator Atlas 1572 The struggle for religious dominance and power in 16th Century Europe led to the production of a map by the world famous geographer, Mercator. Episode 3: D-Day Invasion Maps This is the fascinating story of maps during wartime, featuring the tale of “Bigot Maps” and the stories of bravery and treachery that precipitated their creation.
