About the Series

Season Premiere
Thursday, November 4 at 10/9c

This season, ANCIENT DISCOVERIES continues its extreme experimentation with ancient engineering and inventions, some seen for the first time on television:

Cannons designed hundreds of years ago blast through 10-inch thick walls.

Ancient intelligence systems reveal the sabotage tactics used by Japanese ninja.

An adventurer puts the law of gravity to the test, leaping 6,000 feet from a hot air balloon with only two umbrellas keeping him from a crash landing.

This daring series looks at some of our most modern conveniences and presents how they evolved from the past. Computers, compasses, odometers and brain surgery ... did they originate in ancient times? Dont miss out as HISTORY examines the origins of these inventions and who really dreamt them up.

Watch Thursdays at 10/9c as Ancient Discoveries explores ancient cars, super ships, Egyptian warfare, ancient robots and more!
