40. World's Greatest Mysteries Dinosaur Extinction: Fire Or Flood?

January 1, 2009

Controversy. Conspiracy. Confusion. History is fraught with events -- from local to global -- that have never been satisfactorily explained. What caused the dinosaurs to perish? How were the Egyptian Pyramids built? What happened to the great Inca civilization? Was John Wilkes Booth part of a large, sinister plot? Was George Armstrong Custer sacrificed to save the Grant Administration? Is there anything happening in Roswell, New Mexico, that should be shared with American citizens? Who shot John F. Kennedy? These and dozens of other international mysteries are investigated, explored, unraveled and reported. Dinosaur Extinction: Fire Or Flood? Dinosaurs--and many other groups of animals--suddenly became extinct approximately 65 million years ago. Known as the --Cretaceous-Tertiary Extinction Event, the cause of this mass extinction has been extensively studied since the 1970s. Although no definitive explanation has been reached, it is known that the climate of earth before the event was much warmer and milder than it is now. This television program considers what may have happened to change the earth's weather. Was the event triggered by the impact of a giant asteroid? Some scientists suggest that an asteroid hit in the vicinity of the Yucat'án Peninsula at that time, creating a 110 mile wide crater. Alternative theories include other global disturbances like momentous volcanic activity or a worldwide flood. Scientists have long believed that the layers of sediment--known as the --Geologic Column?--that have been used to determine the age of the world were formed gradually, revealing a slow change in the earth. The biblical account of Noah's flood would indicate a rapid and sudden change. Which is correct? Did man coexist with the dinosaurs? Learn the newest theory of the age of the earth.

Mars is the closest planet to Earth, but exploration has proven frustrating. Most efforts to discover more about Mars have failed. This authoritative television program examines possible reasons for the limited success of Mars research. For thousands of years, man has asked whether Mars is inhabited. Recent inquiry has speculated about physical objects on Mars which may not have been naturally created. What is there to be learned about the --head or --face in the Sedonia sector? There appear to be pyramids on Mars; this program questions whether there are any connections between these Martian anomalies and the pyramids and the Sphinx found in Egypt. For decades, exploration vehicles sent from Earth have been destroyed or disabled as they approached Mars. This program looks at what could be cloaking the so-called --Red Planet in secrecy.

One of the most secretive places in the world, the base's primary purpose--according to the United States Air Force--is to support development and testing of experimental aircraft and weapons systems. This television program examines what is really flying over Area 51 Base. Have eyewitnesses seen experimental aircraft designed and built on the planet Earth . . . or are they watching flying machines crafted by advanced science and engineering of distant planets? Virtually all of the work at Area 51 is restricted to underground, out of view from passing satellite surveillance. What else in going on there? Workers at the base don't even know. Why all this secrecy? This TV special interviews a man, who, as a teenage science prodigy, was allowed on the base. He relates an amazing account of rocket science and engineering far advanced from any known research currently available on earth.

The first human civilization on Easter Island was founded between the third and fourth centuries, AD. Located in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, the history of the island includes famines, epidemics, civil war, slave raids and colonialism. It also endured a dramatic change in its ecosystem. This television program examines where the inhabitants of Easter Island originally came from and what has kept this barren, remote island more than 2200 miles off the coast of Chile populated for nearly 1700 years. Famed explorer Thor Hyerdahl claimed that the original inhabitants sailed west from South America. Other researchers speculate that Easter Islanders relocated from other areas of Polynesia. Is it possible that the history of Easter Island is hidden in the strange hieroglyphics found on the island's legendary --talking boards? To date, not a single scholar has been able to decipher the characters and translate this complicated language, called Rongo-Rongo by the natives.

34. World's Greatest Mysteries Egyptian Pyramids: Architectural Wonder Or Alien Engineering?

The Pyramids of Egypt are among the largest structures ever built and constitute one of the most enduring symbols of Ancient Egyptian civilization. Remarkably, using twenty-first century construction equipment, computer-assisted design, and state-of-the-art engineering and construction techniques, building the pyramids would be a massive, costly, challenging construction project even today. The architectural accuracy--only Â¼ inch --off square?--would be a difficult achievement for the finest contemporary construction companies. This television program questions how the Egyptians built the pyramids more than four thousand years ago. From everything archeologists and other researchers have discovered about the Egyptian civilization, it lacked the tools and skills required to build the pyramids. Where does the word --pyramid even come from? There is no root for the term in any known language. What secrets are hidden within the walls of an inaccessible shaft at the center of the Great Pyramid?

33. World's Greatest Mysteries Crop Circles: Celestial Signs Or Human Hoaxes?

January 1, 2009

Was George Armstrong Custer sacrificed to save the Grant Administration? Is there anything happening in Roswell, New Mexico, that should be shared with American citizens? Who shot John F. Kennedy? These and dozens of other international mysteries are investigated, explored, unraveled and reported. Crop Circles: Celestial Signs Or Human Hoaxes? Crop circles--designs formed in fields of agricultural crops like wheat, barley, and corn--have been reported around the globe for more than a century. These designs have appeared usually in complete darkness and often almost instantaneously. Some crop circles are clearly hoaxes. Others, though, are inexplicable, leavings no evidence of human activity in the immediate vicinity. This television program examines those crops circles that cannot be attributed to men. It addresses questions like, --Why do the crops sometimes undergo changes at the cellular level? It looks at the strange lights that have been reported over the fields where crop circles are found. It also explores whether crop circles are the product of new military technology. Or whether they are messages from an intelligent force, perhaps an alien civilization?

32. World's Greatest Mysteries Killer Insects: Myth Or Menace?

January 1, 2009

Controversy. Conspiracy. Confusion. History is fraught with events -- from local to global -- that have never been satisfactorily explained. What caused the dinosaurs to perish?

These and dozens of other international mysteries are investigated, explored, unraveled and reported. Killer Insects: Myth Or Menace? Mostly, we think of bugs as pests. Yet at the dawn of the 21st century, we now appear to be under attack from some of the most destructive and dangerous insects that have ever inhabited the earth. The deadliest creature on earth, the anopheles mosquito, is responsible for more than 300 million cases of malaria each year and causes between one and three million deaths annually. Mosquitoes can also carry dengue and yellow fevers, encephalitis, elephantiasis, as well as canine heartworm. Common houseflies can spread some 200 pathogens and parasites to humans. Bedbugs, parasitic worms, and fleas are also leading killers of humans. Africanized honeybees, also known as --killer bees, have killed 1,000 people as they have moved north through Central America to the southwestern U.S. Experts project that infectious diseases spread by insects could destabilize entire societies and affect worldwide populations for the next 20 years. This television program investigates whether this onslaught of deadly insects is nature's way of controlling human population. It looks into whether insecticides and other attempts at tinkering with the environment have upset the nature order of the animal kingdom. It also discusses whether ancient prophesies actually predicted this deadly invasion.

31. World's Greatest Mysteries Inca Civilization: Defeated Or Diseased?

January 1, 2009

Was George Armstrong Custer sacrificed to save the Grant Administration? Is there anything happening in Roswell, New Mexico, that should be shared with American citizens? Who shot John F. Kennedy? These and dozens of other international mysteries are investigated, explored, unraveled and reported. Inca Civilization: Defeated Or Diseased? For more than three centuries starting in the twelfth century AD, the Inca civilization thrived in Peru and the surrounding areas of South America. The Incas had a sophisticated social hierarchy, as well as advanced architectural, mathematical, medical, and astronomical disciplines. The Incan military was so powerful that neighboring tribes and nations frequently gave up armed resistance and accepted inevitable annexation peacefully. This television program examines how an empire that totaled ten million people at its peak strength could be destroyed by a small, unorganized band of only 168 Spaniards. Despite its power, prestige, and wealth the Inca Empire fell to Francisco Pizarro and his men in 1532. How did Pizarro topple the capital city of the Inca Empire, Cuzco, which was reputed to be one of the richest cities in the world? What happened to the vast Inca fortune of gold and silver? Did Pizarro claim it for the Spanish crown, or is it still there hidden among Incan ruins? Lessons in the dramatic and sudden downfall of this once powerful civilization could save other nations from a similar fate today.

The September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States (often referred to as --9-11?) were a series of coordinated suicide assaults by terrorists who hijacked four commercial passenger jet airliners. The hijackers intentionally crashed two of the jumbo jets into the World Trade Center in New York City, resulting in the collapse of both buildings within hours, as well as extensive damage to nearby buildings. The hijackers crashed a third airliner into the Pentagon, the mammoth U.S. military headquarters building in Washington, D.C. The fourth plane crashed into a field near Shanksville in rural Somerset County, Pennsylvania after passengers and members of the flight crew attempted to retake control of their plane. About 3,000 people, mostly office workers, police officers, and firefighters died that day. An additional approximately 7,000 people were injured. This insightful television program examines the modern-day heroes who emerged and the miracles occurred amidst the horror and chaos of 9-11. The program recounts some of the true-life experiences of those who were there and survived when everyone around them perished.

In 1922, the richest tomb in archeological history was opened in the Egyptian Valley of the Kings. The tomb of King Tutankhamen had been untouched for 3,300 years. He was an Egyptian pharaoh of the Eighteenth Dynasty, ruling from 1333 BC to 1324 BC. Discovery of King Tut's intact tomb received worldwide press coverage and sparked a renewed public interest in ancient Egypt, for which Tutankhamun's burial mask remains the most recognized artifact. This television program reports on efforts by forensic scientists who are still trying to explain the cause of king's death. It also looks into the unexplained deaths of many of the researchers who opened and inspected the tomb. Is there any validity to the --Curse of King Tut? Why has the Egyptian government been less than cooperative with the testing of King Tut's remains? Have archeologists stumbled onto the beginnings of biological warfare-- the legendary --Curse of the Pharaoh? Did the opening of King Tut's tomb unleash a curse of punishment and death that is still impacting lives . . . and deaths . . . today?

28. World's Greatest Mysteries Spontaneous Human Combustion: Natural Phenomenon Or Flaming Fiction?

January 1, 2009

Controversy. Conspiracy. Confusion. History is fraught with events -- from local to global -- that have never been satisfactorily explained. What caused the dinosaurs to perish?

Was George Armstrong Custer sacrificed to save the Grant Administration? Is there anything happening in Roswell, New Mexico, that should be shared with American citizens? Who shot John F. Kennedy? These and dozens of other international mysteries are investigated, explored, unraveled and reported. Spontaneous Human Combustion: Natural Phenomenon Or Flaming Fiction? Spontaneous human combustion: Human bodies suddenly bursting into flame without any apparent heat source. This television program examines whether spontaneous human combustion is physically possible . . . or if it nothing more than an urban legend. Fire safety specialists, medical examiners, and forensics experts all agree--it takes massive amounts of heat to turn the human body to ash. Victims of purported spontaneous human combustion are literally incinerated in a flash. Mysteriously, the intense heat that consumes them does not engulf the room where the fire occurred . . . or even burn past the immediate area where the body rested. In some cases, the body has burned and left all clothing behind. Over the years, there have been hundreds of documented cases suggest spontaneous human combustion. This television program presents the evidence of whether or not people burn to death for no apparent reason.

Was George Armstrong Custer sacrificed to save the Grant Administration? Is there anything happening in Roswell, New Mexico, that should be shared with American citizens? Who shot John F. Kennedy? These and dozens of other international mysteries are investigated, explored, unraveled and reported. RMS Titanic: Design Failure, U-Boat, Or Iceberg? According to all reports, during her maiden voyage on the night of April 14, 1912, the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg, and sank in the North Atlantic two hours and forty minutes later. At the time, the Titanic was the largest passenger steamship in the world. Total death toll was 1,517, making it one of the worst peacetime maritime disasters in history and by far the most infamous. The Titanic used some of the most advanced technology available at the time and was popularly believed to be --unsinkable. Legend holds that nearly $300 million worth of diamonds still rest in the ship's holds. A daring attempt to retrieve lost treasures only inspired even greater uncertainty about the fate of the Titanic. This television program questions whether a collision with an iceberg really was the cause for the tragedy of the mighty ocean liner. It examines whether design defects or structural problems sealed the Titanic's fate before it ever left port. Another possibility for sinking the unsinkable is the suggestion that a German U-boat was lurking in the dark waters of the North Atlantic that night. Iceberg, design, or a torpedo . . . the fate of the Titanic remains a mystery nearly a century later.

26. World's Greatest Mysteries Weather Control: Global Warming Or Human Manipulation?

This television program examines why a phased array transmitter stands was located two hundred miles east of Anchorage, Alaska. With the ability to beam more than 3 billion watts of energy into the ionosphere, it is possible that this marvel of technology is capable of changing and controlling weather patterns worldwide. What is its purpose? Why is this modern-day antennae farm located in this desolate spot? One possible explanation is that government scientists are attempting to manipulate the weather. Another suggests a far more sinister application: Some experts claim that it is actually a mechanism for conducting mind control experiments over whole populations. Still others propose that all of the electronic gear concentrated in this remote location powers the ultimate --Death Ray.Whatever the reason, it is apparent that the hole in the ozone layer is expanding in the atmospheric region irradiated by this transmitter. Whatever is really going on in this frozen landscape at the edge of the Arctic offers a mystery with shocking possibilities.

Since the days of Christopher Columbus, an unknown number of ships and aircraft have simply vanished without a trace in the area known as the --Bermuda Triangle. Situated in the northwestern Atlantic Ocean between the coast of Florida and the islands of Puerto Rico and Bermuda, the region--also known as the --Devil's Triangle--has claimed everything from charter boats to large surface vessels, and from small private airplanes to large commercial airliners, with passengers and crew never heard from again. For centuries, people have insisted that these disappearances were beyond the boundaries of human error or acts of nature like sudden squalls or violent weather. This fascinating television program probes whether there might be far more diabolical forces at work. Does a mysterious electromagnetic vortex interfere with navigational instruments? Does an extraterrestrial influence give that portion of the ocean menacing power? Find out how this small area of the ocean has earned a worldwide reputation for mystery.

Was George Armstrong Custer sacrificed to save the Grant Administration? Is there anything happening in Roswell, New Mexico, that should be shared with American citizens? Who shot John F. Kennedy? These and dozens of other international mysteries are investigated, explored, unraveled and reported. Mars: Barren Rock Or Inhabited Civilization? Mars has long been the subject of human fascination. Early telescopic observations revealed color changes on the surface which were originally attributed to seasonal vegetation as well as linear features which were ascribed to intelligent design. These early interpretations led to widespread public interest in our nearest planetary neighbor, but Mars has persistently defied our best efforts to unlock its mystery. The exploration of Mars has been an important part of the space exploration programs of the Soviets (and Russians), the United States, Europe, and Japan. Since the 1960's, roughly two-thirds of all spacecraft destined for Mars failed before completing their missions, with some malfunctioning before they even begin. This high failure rate has led researchers to jokingly speak of The Great Galactic Ghoul which subsists on a diet of Mars probes. Informally, this phenomenon is known as the Mars Curse Dozens. This television program attempts to identify whether someone--or something--is preventing exploration of the intriguing red planet. It also examines photographic evidence of what appear to be man-made structures on Mars. The program looks at whether Mars offers links to another civilization . . . perhaps one that predates our own. What does our government really know about Mars? Find out more about our myste

22. World's Greatest Mysteries Asteroid Collision: Doomsday Destruction Or Passing Apprehension?

January 1, 2009

Controversy. Conspiracy. Confusion. History is fraught with events -- from local to global -- that have never been satisfactorily explained. What caused the dinosaurs to perish? How were the Egyptian Pyramids built? What happened to the great Inca civilization? Was John Wilkes Booth part of a large, sinister plot? Was George Armstrong Custer sacrificed to save the Grant Administration? Is there anything happening in Roswell, New Mexico, that should be shared with American citizens? Who shot John F. Kennedy? These and dozens of other international mysteries are investigated, explored, unraveled and reported. Asteroid Collision: Doomsday Destruction Or Passing Apprehension? Like the impact of an out-of-control car careening into a crowded intersection, collision in outer space at some point appears inevitable. Meteorites, comets, and asteroids are all floating in space and there is a potential for their paths to cross that of planet Earth's. In fact, more than 31,000 meteorites have already been found on earth after impact, some leaving behind craters as large as 186 miles in diameter. This television program studies the possibility that one day an asteroid--a body smaller than a planet but larger than a meteorite--could one day impact earth and destroy life as we know it. Because of the physics involved of two large, heavy objects hurling through space at speed, a head-on collision could be devastating. Some experts assure us that a doomsday asteroid is science fiction, fantasy. Others recognize it as terrifying threat to our very existence on Earth. Scientists have long tracked meteors, comets, and asteroids that streak through the galaxy. But are they censoring warnings of danger? How many near misses have there been? It has been theorized that a single asteroid impact caused the extinction of the dinosaurs on Earth. Predictions are that an asteroid impact today could flatten major cities, poison our air and water, and virtually wreak havoc on Earth. What would

These and dozens of other international mysteries are investigated, explored, unraveled and reported. Biblical Prophets: Amazing Accuracy Or Coincidental Occurrences? In a world in turmoil with devastating natural disasters--hurricanes, tsunamis, tornadoes, floods, blizzards--with brutal wars raging around the planet, with famine and epidemic disease flourishing without relief, how can ancient prophesies help us today? For thousands of years, history has recorded the words of prophets--men and women who seem to have uncanny insight into events in the future. Hebrew and Christian Scripture concentrate heavily on the teachings of prophets. The prophets in the Bible were not primarily foretellers of the future; they were valued in their time for addressing wrongdoing, injustice, and oppression in their society. When they turned their attention to the future, it was most often in the form of a warning: if you act like this, God's punishment will come in the form of that. For most of us, the notion of predicting the future seems like a parlor trick or simply voicing aloud the obvious. But spoken thousands of years before the obvious even exists, appears inconceivable. This television program objectively assesses ancient prophesies and presents how frequently their words have rung true with amazing accuracy. How is this possible? The program studies the possibility that biblical prophets had special abilities that allowed them to see events centuries before they hap

19. World's Greatest Mysteries Little Bighorn? Custer's Blunder Or Grant's Retribution?

January 1, 2009

Controversy. Conspiracy. Confusion. History is fraught with events -- from local to global -- that have never been satisfactorily explained. What caused the dinosaurs to perish? How were the Egyptian Pyramids built? What happened to the great Inca civilization? Was John Wilkes Booth part of a large, sinister plot? Was George Armstrong Custer sacrificed to save the Grant Administration? Is there anything happening in Roswell, New Mexico, that should be shared with American citizens? Who shot John F. Kennedy? These and dozens of other international mysteries are investigated, explored, unraveled and reported. Little Bighorn? Custer's Blunder Or Grant's Retribution? Was the most famous action of the --Indian Wars defined by arrogance and ineptitude . . . or was it a conspiracy? The Battle of the Little Bighorn--also known as Custer's Last Stand--was a bloody engagement between the 7th Cavalry of the United States Army led by General George Armstrong Custer and a Native American force made up of Lakota Sioux and Northern Cheyenne. As we know from history books, feature films, and folklore, the Army suffered a devastating defeat. The battle took place in late June of 1876, near the Little Bighorn River in the eastern Montana Territory. A seasoned commander of the Union Army in the Civil War and earlier frontier engagements, Custer's previous battles had relied on planning, reconnaissance, and intelligence of the size and strength of enemy forces before a shot was fired. Why, then, were his tactics so ill-conceived at Little Bighorn? Custer and every man under his command died that day; so much of what has been written about the battle has been supposition. This insightful television program considers the possibility that a government conspiracy sent Custer to certain death. He had publicly exposed corruption in President Grant's administration and was known to have political aspirations. This show looks into the possibility that Grant engineered a potential foe's dem

These and dozens of other international mysteries are investigated, explored, unraveled and reported. Medical Mysteries: Ancient Healers Or Modern Technology? Healers from a variety of ancient civilizations were able to diagnose and treat the human body with amazing effectiveness. In fact, the first generally accepted use of plants for medicinal purposes was depicted in cave paintings discovered in the Lascaux caves in France, which have been radiocarbon dated to between 13,000 and 25,000 BC. According to archeologists, the earliest known surgery in Egypt was performed around 2750 BC. An Egyptian papyrus dated by researchers at 1600 BC is actually a relatively sophisticated medical textbook describing in detail the examination, diagnosis, treatment techniques and procedures for a number of ailments. The Roman Empire contributed numerous surgical instruments, including forceps, scalpels, cross-bladed scissors, surgical needles, sounds, and specula. The Romans were also pioneers in cauterization, as well as cataract surgery. This extensively researched and thoroughly intriguing television program examines what ancient medical practitioners might have known that we don't. It asks whether there are methods and medicines used thousands of years ago that could eliminate some of our most life-threatening illnesses of today. Finally, it looks at the concept that the ancients knew about a life force so powerful that it could actually teach the body to heal.

Was George Armstrong Custer sacrificed to save the Grant Administration? Is there anything happening in Roswell, New Mexico, that should be shared with American citizens? Who shot John F. Kennedy? These and dozens of other international mysteries are investigated, explored, unraveled and reported. Ancient Anasazis: Extinct Civilization Or Abandoned Culture? Anasazi is an archeological term to describe the ancient pueblo people, a prehistoric Native American culture centered in the present-day --Four Corners area of the Southwest United States. Noted for their distinctive pottery and dwelling construction styles, the Anasazi emerged as a sophisticated society about 1200 BC and suddenly migrated from their homes between the twelfth and thirteenth centuries AD. Who were these ancient, and apparently, sophisticated people? What were their lives like? What could have possibly motivated an entire culture to suddenly abandon their homes leaving everything--utensils, pottery, toys, even food--still in place? Did a single event, such as war or drought, cause them to leave their seemingly well-ordered towns and villages? Or was it something else? This television program studies the compelling drama of what changes forced these people to uproot their entire culture. Why did they build such spectacular stone dwellings, only to leave them in obvious haste? Are these amazing structures, which have remained silent for thousands of years, now calling out a warning across the centuries? Was there something the Anasazi discovered that would impact our lives today?

These and dozens of other international mysteries are investigated, explored, unraveled and reported. Kecksburg UFO: Meteorite Or Extraterrestrial Crash? On December 9, 1965, a large, brilliant fireball was seen by thousands in at least six states and Ontario, Canada. It streaked over the Detroit, Michigan/Windsor, Ontario area, reportedly dropped metal debris over Michigan and northern Ohio, and caused sonic booms in western Pennsylvania. Eyewitnesses in the small village of Kecksburg, about 30 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, claimed that something that changed directions and emitted a vapor trail had crashed in nearby woods. Several people from Kecksburg, including members of the local volunteer fire department, claimed to find a copper colored object in the shape of an acorn and about as large as a Volkswagen Beetle. The nearby Greensburg Tribune-Review newspaper had a reporter at the scene; the headline the next day was: "Unidentified Flying Object Falls near Kecksburg--Army Ropes off Area. Whatever crashed in Kecksburg, the U.S. military quickly recovered, loaded onto a flatbed truck, and took to Wright- Patterson Air Force Base outside of Dayton, Ohio. The official government report said the object was simply a meteorite. Multiple eyewitnesses dispute the government's assertion. This television program takes a sober look at why the military has maintained its silence about this mysterious object for than forty years.

These and dozens of other international mysteries are investigated, explored, unraveled and reported. Oak Island: Hole In The Ground Or Treasure Shaft? Forty feet below, two million pounds are buried. Even with frustration and death staring them in the face, treasure hunters have not been able to resist that challenge since 1795 when the cryptic inscription was first found on a stone a hundred feet below ground, inside the Oak Island --money pit. Oak Island, a 140-acre island in Lunenberg County on the south shore of Nova Scotia, Canada, is a tree-covered island has been the site of one of history's most intense and deadly, treasure hunts. Designed hundreds of years ago by a clever, unidentified engineer, the --pit is a complex shaft with timber crosspieces every ten feet. Below the 100 foot level, every attempt to go deeper and reach the treasure has resulted in the Atlantic Ocean rushing in. This television program chronicles the futile efforts to date to solve the puzzle of the pit's protective design. Even using the most modern technology, no one has been able to get through to those two million pounds--which are today worth tens of billions of dollars. Who built the pit and why?

These and dozens of other international mysteries are investigated, explored, unraveled and reported. Easter Island Monuments: Native Craftsmen Or Other Worldly Creations? Famous for its nearly 1,000 distinctive monumental statues, called moai, Easter Island is one of the most isolated places on Earth. A special territory of the nation of Chile, the sixty-three square mile island is a remote volcanic rock in the Pacific Ocean at the southeastern most point of the Polynesian triangle. Almost totally cutoff from the rest of the world, the native Rapanui created the only written Polynesian language and structured a complex society. By far the most unusual feature of the island, though, are the moai. Carved by hand out of volcanic rock using only stone chisels, these massive eighty ton monolithic stone statues were somehow transported several miles and arranged in rows on raised platforms. This informative television program looks at how the Rapanui people created the statues, moved them into place, and stood them upright. Without access to outside engineering technology, it examines how the topknots--each weighing twelve tons-- were put in place atop each moai. And it addresses the biggest question of all--Why?

13. World's Greatest Mysteries Area 51 Base: Experimental Aircraft Or Extraterrestrial Evidence?

These and dozens of other international mysteries are investigated, explored, unraveled and reported. Area 51 Base: Experimental Aircraft Or Extraterrestrial Evidence? Until 2003, the U.S. government denied that the military base called --Area 51 even existed. Since then--perhaps due to their inability to hide the mysterious complex of buildings and runways from satellite imagery--authorities have conceded that the Air Force has an --operating location on a remote tract of land in the southwestern portion of southern Nevada. The base remains, however, one of the most secretive places in the world. Area 51 is conspicuously absent from Federal publications and inquiries to the government regarding the facility are rejected for reasons of --national security. A federal defense contractor maintains a private terminal at McCarran International Airport in the Las Vegas metropolitan area to shuttle workers daily to and from the base in unmarked aircraft with blacked-out windows. Commercial and private aircraft are warned they will be shot down if the fly over Area 51 and signs authorizing the use of deadly force surround the base to keep intruders away. Unmarked helicopters and Humvees are on constant patrol. This unflinching television program asks, --What are they guarding? A scientist who once worked at Area 51 reports that houses confiscated UFOs. A visitor to the base claims he actually examined an alien UFO engine there. Is Area 51 a pop culture icon . . . or

These and dozens of other international mysteries are investigated, explored, unraveled and reported. Roswell UFO: Weather Balloon Or Flying Disc? On July 8, 1947, the Roswell Army Air Field--USAF, Roswell, New Mexico-- issued a press release stating that personnel from the field's 509th Bomb Group had recovered a crashed "flying disc" from a nearby ranch. Later that same day, the Commanding General of the Eighth Air Force recanted the earlier announcement, stating that, in fact, a weather balloon had been recovered by the airfield personnel. Debris from the crashed object was displayed at a subsequent press conference, apparently confirming the weather balloon version of the story. Although the event was quickly forgotten by the news agencies, the questions lingered: --Why would the U.S. military announce something of such global importance if there was any chance of error? And, didn't members of the Air Force recognize one of their own weather balloons when they saw it? This television program picks up the story reporters hastily dropped more than sixty years ago. The program looks into the possibility of whether bodies of alien beings were recovered, autopsied, and even filmed following the Roswell crash. It interviews Colonel Philip Corso, who worked in the Pentagon in military intelligence for 30 years and who provides explicit information about how the U.S. government came into possession of a crashed UFO. Could this be the most shocking government cove

Was George Armstrong Custer sacrificed to save the Grant Administration? Is there anything happening in Roswell, New Mexico, that should be shared with American citizens? Who shot John F. Kennedy? These and dozens of other international mysteries are investigated, explored, unraveled and reported. Egyptian Pyramids: Amazing Artifacts Or Alien Edifices? The three pyramids in the Giza Necropolis bordering what is now Cairo, Egypt in Africa, are among the most extraordinary structures ever built on planet Earth. The precision of the architecture, engineering, and construction all appear to be far more advanced than the building abilities of the Egyptians more than forty-five hundred years ago. The accuracy of the enormous pyramid's workmanship is so exact that the four sides of the base--each measuring 755Â½ feet--have a mean error of slightly more than two inches in length and 1 minute in angle from a perfect square. Historical assumptions have always suggested that the pyramids of Egypt were the burial tombs of the pharaohs. But, as this television program asks, --Why has no mummy ever been found in any of the pyramids??Although the pyramids have stood for thousands of years, they remain shrouded in mystery. The show explores the claims that the ancient curse that killed many scientists over the centuries was actually a strange fungus. It also investigates whether there is a secret chamber store housing knowledge to the secrets of the complex mathematics, astronomy, geology, and engineering that made the pyramids possible.

10. World's Greatest Mysteries American POWs and MIAs: Dead Or Imprisoned?

These and dozens of other international mysteries are investigated, explored, unraveled and reported. American POWs and MIAs: Dead Or Imprisoned? The numbers of American MIAs and POWs from earlier wars are staggering, nearly 90,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines in a little more than sixty years: 78,750 from World War II; more than 8,500 from the Korean Conflict; and more than 2,000 in Southeast Asia following the Vietnam War and the Cold War. The official U.S. government policy is that there is no credible evidence that any POWs are still alive. This troubling television program challenges whether some American military prisoners were never turned over at the end of the each war in recent history and whether some of those servicemen still survive . . . even now. Is it possible that America's armed forces deliberately left fellow servicemen behind? As distressing as it sounds, there is reliable information that suggests that the U.S. government continues to falsely deny knowledge of the status of its abandoned servicemen. Should diplomatic relations between nations outweigh the lives of individual men and women who served their country? What can be done to bring missing servicemen home? Is there a way to unearth the truth about the fate of our POWs and MIAs?

These and dozens of other international mysteries are investigated, explored, unraveled and reported. Human Origins: Five Thousand Years Or Older? In 1991, two Germans hiking in the Alps of Northern Italy discovered the 5,200- year-old remains of a Copper Age man frozen in a glacier. Amazingly well-preserved in ice, the corpse, dubbed "Ötzi the Iceman," was found with tools, arrows, and a knife. To date, he is Europe's oldest natural human mummy and has offered an unprecedented view of Chalcolithic (Copper Age) Europeans. Initially thought to be a contemporary corpse, the body was removed without using archaeological tools and procedures. Since then, the body has been extensively examined, measured, X-rayed, and dated. Tissues and intestinal contents have been examined microscopically. At the time of the discovery, few people would have predicted that this one man could significantly alter the scientific community's view of the history of man. Who was this man who walked the earth three thousand years before Christ? How has the discovery of his body affected the search for answers to the age old question--how old is the human race? This television program poses the possibility that this one man, frozen for five thousand years, might help solve the mystery of the origin of man and aid scientists in determining how long the human race has lived on planet Earth.

These and dozens of other international mysteries are investigated, explored, unraveled and reported. Phoenix Lights: UFO Flyovers Or Military Test Flights? Strange sights in the sky have been reported periodically throughout recorded history. Perhaps the most significant optical phenomenon, though, initially occurred over the southwestern United States in March 13, 1997. Called the --Phoenix Lights, this unexplained atmospheric anomaly lasted for three hours and was witnessed by thousands of people in the sky over the U.S. states of Arizona and Nevada, and the Mexican state of Sonora. Unlike most unusual sightings, follow-up research and investigation have resulted in no plausible explanation. It might have been a top secret military weapon, its existence too classified to reveal. Or it could have been the most dramatic UFO--Unidentified Flying Object--sighting in modern history. What did the citizens of Phoenix see that was so eerie and troubling? This mesmerizing television program presents amazing new footage of the Phoenix Lights that, a decade later, continue to appear periodically over the skies of Valley of the Sun in central Arizona. The program questions what would happen if a similar event occurred in other U.S. communities. It examines how Phoenix city officials have responded, the investigations they've undertaken, and how the Phoenix Lights have divided the community.

These and dozens of other international mysteries are investigated, explored, unraveled and reported. Lincoln Assassination: Disgruntled Murderer Or Political Adversaries? There's universal agreement that John Wilkes Booth assassinated President Abraham Lincoln. Booth, a recognized actor of his day, was identified by many eyewitnesses as the man who leapt from the presidential box onto the stage of Ford's Theatre following the sound of a single gunshot. But, that's where the consensus ends. For more than a hundred and fifty years, there has been a vigorous debate over whether Booth acted with the assistance of a few Confederate sympathizers or if he was part of a larger conspiracy that reached into the highest levels of the government. Did Booth know the president's bodyguard the president's would be away from his post--next door at a bar? Why was Lincoln denied the services of the specific bodyguard he requested for that evening? Why was Booth's personal diary never produced during the trial of his accused co-conspirators and how did eighteen missing pages from that diary turn up years later among the personal papers Secretary of War Edwin Stanton? This television program addresses the controversy surrounding the first presidential assassination in American history and presents newly discovered evidence questioning whether the wrong people were tried and hanged for the country's most famous murder.

These and dozens of other international mysteries are investigated, explored, unraveled and reported. Coral Castle: Eccentric Immigrant Or Pyramid Imitator? Controversy has surrounded the construction of the Great Pyramid at Giza in Egypt for more than four thousand years. How were the massive stones quarried, transported, shaped, and placed by hand twenty-five hundred years before Christ? Could it be that the mystery that has baffled engineers, scientists, and archeologists for more than four thousand years was solved by an eccentric Latvian immigrant in Florida in 1923? The Coral Castle, built with 1,100 tons of stone, was the work of one man using crude tools. The largest stone weighs 30 tons, which is over three times the size of the heaviest stone found in the ancient pyramids. Without using mortar, the craftsmanship detail is so precise that no light passes between the seams of the stones. This intriguing television program explores the similarities between the construction of the pyramids and the Coral Castle. It seeks answers to the question, How could Edward Leedskainin have created the castle by himself? And, Why did he carry the secret of his construction techniques to the grave?

These and dozens of other international mysteries are investigated, explored, unraveled and reported. Modern Innovations: Ancient Discoveries Or Contemporary Creations? Is anything really new? Or does every innovation already exist, waiting to be put to use? Perhaps the future is buried in the past. Could it be possible that there are vast treasures of brilliant ideas lying hidden in the vaults of antiquity? History shows that turning an idea into reality can take centuries. Many inventions patented today are based on concepts from earlier generations that required scientific advancements that did not occur for many years. What sparks creative inquiry? Plato observed that: --Necessity is the mother of invention. Was he right? What role does war play in technological advancement? For example, do we know for certain that U.S. Army Signal Corps cryptographers and mathematicians actually invented the first computation machine? Could the great-great-grandfather of today's laptop have been pulled to the surface in an ancient chest off the coast of Greece? Thomas Edison observed that --Discovery consists of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought. This thought-provoking television program explores whether a discovery is really just a very old idea waiting to be uncovered.

These and dozens of other international mysteries are investigated, explored, unraveled and reported. Butch Cassidy: Demise By Bullet Or Old Age? Legal documents and news stories of the day describe Butch Cassidy as a former ranch hand, butcher, and cattle rustler who came into prominence in the lat 1800's as a charming, quick witted, and fearless Wild West outlaw. Leader of a gang called the --Wild Bunch, Cassidy (real name Robert LeRoy Parker) and his daring accomplices put together the longest sequence of successful train and bank robberies in the history of the American West. When it became difficult to successfully elude the law as their pursuers became better organized in their efforts to apprehend the gang, Cassidy fled to South America with another outlaw, Harr Longabaugh--known as the --Sundance Kid--and Longabaugh's beguiling traveling companion, Etta Place. Living in Argentina, the desperados eventually resumed robbing bank and were eventually shot and killed by Bolivian soldiers. Or were they? Legend and folklore persist to this day that Butch and Sundance not only survived the shootout, they returned to the United States where they lived out their lives. This intriguing television program examines fact and folklore to resolve the debate over Butch Cassidy's long disputed demise.

These and dozens of other international mysteries are investigated, explored, unraveled and reported. Pearl Harbor: Surprise Attack Or Anticipated Event? For more than six decades, history books have described this pivotal event in world history in great detail: On the morning of Sunday, December 7, 1941, six Japanese navy aircraft carriers launched two aerial waves, totaling 353 aircraft, which attacked the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. American losses included 2,388 killed and 1,178 wounded, as well as the destruction of two battleships, a minelayer, and a pair of destroyers. Ten other ships were severely damaged and a total of 188 aircraft were lost. The direct result was that the United States became involved in World War II. What the history books fail to explain is whether the --surprise attack was really a surprise. Unanswered questions include--How could the entire Japanese Navy move across the Pacific unnoticed? Why did President Roosevelt order the American fleet moved just days before the attack from the comparative safety of the West Coast to the middle of the Pacific? And the most disturbing question of all: Did Roosevelt know the attack was coming days or even weeks in advance? This insightful television program addresses questions that have lingered for generations.

These and dozens of other international mysteries are investigated, explored, unraveled and reported. Princess Diana: Car Wreck or Conspiracy? By official accounts, the event seems to be straightforward: On 31 August 1997, Diana, Princess of Wales, died as a result of injuries sustained in a car crash in the Pont de l'Alma road tunnel in Paris, France. Her companion, Dodi Fayed, and the driver of the car, Henri Paul, were pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. Diana did not die in the car; she died while being transported to a hospital three miles away. What is not easily explained is how a three mile emergency trip in an ambulance through a major world capital could take over two hours. An eighteen month French judicial investigation concluded in 1999 that the car crash that killed Diana was caused by Paul, who lost control of the car at high speed while intoxicated and under the influence of antidepressants. What the inquiry failed to address was why numerous independent reports suggested that Diana was living in fear of the British MI6 secret service operatives. Is there something French, British, and American authorities have yet to reveal? This thought-provoking television program interviews a former MI6 agent, as well as the Fayed family, who tell why they believe Diana's death was murder. . .and who orchestrated it.
