Take
a look up into the Universe's heavens to answer the mystery that
surround some of mankind's oldest structures and myths, Stonehenge,
the Pyramids, Sodom and Gomorrah, and the Star of Bethlehem. Did
they have some celestial importance? With modern sciences,
technologies and computers History explorers some of the theories and
debunk fact from fiction in the seemingly endless speculative series,
The Universe, now in Season 7!
Did
ancient people believe the heavens were messages from God and built
the great Wonders of the World in order to understand them better?
While there are no written records currently exist to explain why
they were built, through modern science we learned perhaps ancient
builders built them to better understand astrology or at the very
least they were created in parallel with celestial events taken into
consideration. The Pyramids similarly were also built with the idea
for the Pharaoh to reach to the heavens in the afterlife. Sodom and
Gomorrah, and the Star of Bethlehem perhaps were not as much acts of
God but celestial events, they were wiped was caused more likely by
ancient meteorites and the Star of Bethlehem was not really a star
but perhaps a comet or a planetary alignment.
History
provides an interesting view into the past through the eyes of
science. To take some of the unexplained mysteries and shed light on
some of the questions that mankind have asked for thousands of years.
While it is not direct hard evidence, it at least show how, why or
why not some legends could be possibly true or could be completely
off. Sometimes the simplest of answers are usually the best answers,
most ancient things were built with the belief that there was a
connection to a higher purpose or being involve or was used to
explain the unexplained in the universe... usually took the form or
name of God. As for theories of aliens and the afterlife...
well, that remains to be seen... or perhaps to be discovered.
The
1080p 1.78 X 1 HD-shot digital High Definition image transfer and
DTS-HD MA (Master Audio) 5.1 lossless mix are good, but the image can
have a little motion blur and the sound is much weaker than expected
more often than you might think. There
are no extras.
