7-8pm -- Engineering An Empire - Da Vinci's World
After the fall of Rome, Italy fell into a dark sleep, and wasn't reawakened
until the 11th century. Autonomous city-states emerged and these tiny republics
began to revitalize their cities and build on a massive level not witnessed
since the rise of Rome. In the late 15th and 16th centuries, alliances among
various city-states continually shifted as foreign superpowers tried to sink
their claws into Italy. The masters who are best known for creating the works of
art and architecture of the Renaissance, were also the greatest military and
civil engineers of the time. Peter Weller hosts.

7-8pm -- Lost Worlds - The First Christians.
A team of field investigators using the latest research, expert
analysis, and cutting-edge graphic technology take us back to the
aftermath of Jesus's crucifixion when barely a hundred of his followers
survived. Yet within a few decades, Christianity had spread around the
Mediterranean and across the Roman Empire. The man responsible once
persecuted Christians but underwent a conversion and gave his life to
spreading the gospel. We revisit places that were first to hear St.
Paul's message and were altered forever. From his birthplace, the port
of Tarsus where a mixture of Roman and Jewish culture helped form him,
we follow the systems of trade and transport that helped him travel
20,000 miles. And in Cappadocia in the Turkish desert, we find evidence
of how the new religion reached a mysterious community of cave-dwellers.
These persecuted Christian communities sought refuge by literally
heading underground. Our investigators enter the vast subterranean
cities they built.
