Odysseus Returns

image

Sunday 10 March 8:20 PM

Is King Odysseus, the Trojan-horse-building genius in Homer’s epic poem The Iliad, merely a figure of ancient fiction? Or was he a flesh-and-blood man? One discovery could change it all.

Part 1:
In Homer’s Odyssey, King Odysseus wanders the earth for decades before returning to his beloved homeland of Ithaca.

But archaeologists have searched Ithaca in vain for his city for almost 200 years.

When Makis Metaxas, the mayor of a seaside village on Ithaca’s neighbouring island, claims that clues in the Odyssey led him right to the door of a Mycenaean king’s tomb, archaeologists were dumbfounded.

Part 2:
When Makis Metaxas and his wife begin to talk about the discovery of what they believe to be the tomb of King Odysseus, they expect they story will soon be known around the world.

But the revelations of artifacts dating back to the time of the Trojan war only trigger a storm of controversy.

Easter Island Origins

Sunday 31 March 7:30 PM

They are among the most mystifying monuments on the planet. On a remote island in the Pacific, great stone heads stare unblinking into the distance. Now, new research is challenging everything we thought we knew about the Easter Island statues and the lives of those that created them.
Why were these figures created and what drove the islanders to make them? And can they tell us anything about how those who created these figures survived on this apparently barren island, and where they originally came from?

Christopher Lee’s story would be fascinating, even if it only went as far as audiences already know; that of an iconic actor who defined the role of Dracula and went from being the star of the 1960s Hammer horror films to a distinguished career encompassing the 007, Star Wars and Lord of the Rings franchises.

But there is so much more to the life and career of Sir Christopher Lee - and who better to tell that story than the man himself?

The Cambridgeshire Crucifixion

image

Sunday 21 April 7:30 PM

In 2017, a routine archaeological dig is taking place on the site of a proposed housing development in the village of Fenstanton, in the Cambridgeshire Fens. When human remains are found alongside a variety of Roman artefacts, none of the team at Albion Archaeology see anything out of the ordinary. But once the bones are washed back at HQ, something highly unusual is uncovered: a nail through the heelbone of one of the individuals. Could this be evidence of a Roman crucifixion?

Upon further research, they find that only one confirmed example has ever been unearthed before, discovered in the 1960s in Jerusalem. To find out more they call in renowned osteoarchaeologist Dr Corinne Duhig to investigate.
