At least I think it's a new one,not the 2000 doc: youtu.be/ZEM6QolkuA0 3 episodes, it looks like,starting tonight,9PM Eastern on PBS. The first is called "Cavemen to Kings". Looks interesting. I hope it surveys recent discoveries and ideas,and doesn't just recycle "old news". Anyway, it's PBS,so unlikely to feature Crazy Hair Guy. . . Edit: Though it's on tonight in my area, I see the promo says "June 21st". Has anyone already seen it?

I watched it, thought it was only average. Strange, cheap-looking cartoons substituted for the usual misty reenactments, the usual number of tiresome academic talking heads shots (except nice to see Bettany Hughes again, I always enjoy her stuff, her own documentaries have been fascinating and well made). But some lovely landscapes, of course. No place photographs like Greece. I'll watch the rest of the series and see where it all goes. I'm a sucker for Greek history. |

My poor brain is so corrupted by "Ancient Aliens" that the scene they had with a modern performance of "Prometheus Bound" which described Prometheus as giving to mankind fire, math, agriculture, writing, medicine and science caused visions of Crazy Hair Guy appeared saying: "Could it be the being the ancient Greeks called Prometheus was actually an Ancient Alien Astronaut?" |
