| Neanderthal's World |
Long ago, two species of human beings coexisted
on Earth—until competition drove one of them to extinction. This
program, set in the southwest of France 35,000 years ago, uses
re-creations of cinematic proportions to reconstruct life in the
Neanderthal world at the time Cro-Magnons first entered the scene. All
aspects of Neanderthal clan life are examined, including tool- and
weapon-making, hunting and gathering, health and healing, childbirth,
rituals, and making fire. Footage of skeletal remains and the scholarly
research of eminent paleontologist Chris Stringer and Oxford
University’s Paul Pettitt support the documentary. A Discovery Channel

| Russian Amazons |
In a remote part of Russia, ancient graves have
yielded up the skeletons of Indo-European warrior women. Were they
Amazons, members of the matriarchal culture that has captivated the
Western mind for more than 2,000 years? In this classic program hosted by
John Rhys-Davies, archaeologists Dr. Jeannine Davis-Kimball and Dr. Leonid
Yablonsky reconstruct Sauromatian society at the site of a burial mound in
the Pokrovka region. The remains of other high-ranking women and some men
and children are also examined. In addition, an analysis is made of
Herodotus’ writings from his travels to the Black Sea. A Discovery
