This is actually a post to a previous thread. PBS/WNET has a long-running series, Secrets of the Dead, that features episodes that you might find interesting to view, especially now with many confined to home. Here's a partial listing of previous programs. Some of these link will expire in a month or so. https://www.pbs.org/wnet/secrets/neros-sunken-city-full-episode/3471/ https://www.pbs.org/wnet/secrets/cleopatras-lost-tomb-full-episode/2909/ https://www.pbs.org/wnet/secrets/leonardo-man-saved-science-full-episode/3521/ https://www.pbs.org/wnet/secrets/the-nero-files-full-episode/4040/ https://www.pbs.org/wnet/secrets/king-arthurs-lost-kingdom-full-episode/4094/ (Cited from: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/what-are-you-reading-or-listening-to.328180/page-7)
Thanks for the links. I'm unable to wacht these on pbs. Something with rights and region. I can watch the first nero episode however via dailymotion.com. (At least, I think it's the same.) Perhaps the other ones as well, I don't know.
Just finished watching the episode on Cleopatra. Fascinating and much disappointed that it ended where it did. Looking forward to a follow-up.
Thank you lots for this. Is the one on King Arthur's kingdom the one about the recent excavations at Tintagel Castle? That one was absolutely fascinating --put a completely different cultural spin on the early phases of Anglo-Saxon settlement, and the amazing sophistication of the Britons around Cornwall.
Thank you, @robinjojo ! I have watched some of these before, and watched a few others last nite. I also segued to SOUTH PARK to get some further Historical perspectives, too
"Gangsters Gold" is available on on-line and also this month on various PBS stations. Check your local listings. Looks like old gangster Dutch Schultze may have hidden $50 MM in gold coins (Saint-Gaudens !!!??) and Gold Certificates in Upstate NY. Now that's a hoard I would pay up to own ! https://www.pbs.org/wnet/secrets/gangsters-gold-promo/5446/
