The World's Most Influential Civilizations are Explored in The Science Channel's Three-Part Series WHAT THE ANCIENTS KNEW Beginning Monday March 14

Host Jack Turner
travels back in time to understand the motivations behind early solutions and
inventions, demonstrating how ancient machines worked and explaining why they
were developed. From 600 to
1500 A., China was the most technologically advanced society on earth. Their actual purpose and the way in which they were constructed
remain two of the world's great mysteries -- theories abound, spanning the
spectrum from the strictly scientific , espoused by mainstream archeology,
to the truly offbeat, represented by some New Age postulations . "Our main objective is to make the
Pyramids visually available to the entire world on a real-time basis: to
schools and universities; to those who cannot travel; and to those who only
know them from pictures in books, from television or from scanned photos
taken off the web. "This is such an exciting use of
technology -- to be able to provide a live view of the Pyramids for the
entire world to see," said Vance Kozik, StarDot's Product Manager.
