Drain the Oceans
Maritime mysteries -- old and new -- come to life in this series, combining scientific data and digital re-creations to reveal shipwrecks, treasures, and sunken cities on the bottom of lakes, seas and oceans around the world. Innovative technology allows viewers to see what lies on the floors of large bodies of water such as the Gulf of Mexico, the Nile, the Indian Ocean, the Baltic Sea and the Atlantic Ocean as if they had been drained. Then, in a quest to explain natural wonders and man-made catastrophes, stories tell of how vessels sank, what ancient geological formations reveal about life on Earth, where Nazi secrets now reside, and why so many continue to search for the legendary city of Atlantis.
America's Book of Secrets
"I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you." That cliche apparently doesn't apply to this series that reveals what goes on behind the scenes of some of America's legendary monuments and powerful organizations, with some inside information that has previously been withheld from the public. If you've ever wondered what goes on at the FBI or Fort Knox, this is your chance to learn about them. And what about Area 51? You'll also learn information about that infamous military base (and maybe more?). "America's Book of Secrets" is your chance to go beyond locked doors and security checkpoints to see things that you were never intended to see.
