本系列收录下列影片： 金字塔之王 埃及艳后 图坦卡门 一代女王 叛逆的法老 拉姆西斯大帝 金字塔之王 The Great Egyptians - King of the Pyramids 四千年来，金字塔一直是令人着迷的伟大建筑，而其中的创世巨作，则是出自埃及法老「史奈佛汝」之手。从梅登金字塔的尝试、达西尔金字塔的天花板、到吉萨大金字塔的壮观走廊，都只是金字塔的一小步。史奈佛汝的“承材天花板”解决了金字塔内倾崩塌的危机，更创造了阶梯金字塔、弯曲金字塔、红色金字塔、以及由史奈佛汝之子奇阿普斯所建的大金字塔等，史上最伟大的建筑空间。 埃及艳后 The Great Egyptians-The Real Cleopatra 众人皆云埃及艳后拥有美貌，但其实智慧才是她的最佳资产。在她与凯萨大帝及马克安东尼的两段婚姻中，埃及艳后积极的朝她的政治理想迈进，虽然日后她传奇的一生结束于蛇吻，但她始终盛名不坠。当伟大的法老王之名不复存于人们的记忆中时，埃及艳后的名字 “克莉欧派卓"，却在世人的心中历久不衰。 图坦卡门 The Great Egyptians -The Mistery of Tutankhamun 图坦卡门，一个在埃及史上来不及写下辉煌历史的法老，却在安息了几千年后完好无缺的出土，成为王陵谷中硕果仅存的法老。而陪同图坦卡门出土的不仅是大量的金银财宝，更引人入胜的则是他隐藏在金色面具后的悲惨童年，以及猝死的幕后阴谋。藉由Discovery Channel 的探访及专家的解说，一连串的历史真相将呼之欲出。 一代女王 The GREAT EGYPTIANS II - THE QUEEN WHO WOULD BE KING 埃及在由男性统治了千余年之后，出现了赫雀瑟，一位不以贵为公主或王后而自满的女性。Discovery Channel将为您剖析这位史上唯一女王的野心与欲望，叙述她的生长环境及丰功伟业。为了统治埃及，赫雀瑟必须扮演男性的角色，身为女人却登基为王的事实，也迫使她不得不去面对埃及“神圣秩序”的严格考验。 叛逆的法老 THE GREAT EGYPTIANS II - REBEL PHARAOHT 阿肯那顿在继承王位后，他提出了“一神论“，企图摆脱传统束缚，解放艺术，展现王室前所未闻，不为人知的一面。但阿肯那顿创造的理想宗教，毕竟不符合埃及人的世界，脱离俗世的阿肯那顿，遂成了埃及史上著名的叛逆法老。他究竟是宗教狂热份子？亦或者是耶稣的先驱？Discovery Channel将为您揭开真相。 拉姆西斯大帝 THE GREAT EGYPTIANS II - RAMSES THE GREAT 本片介绍古埃及最伟大的建筑家、最勇猛的战士；同时也是出埃及记中的无名法老--拉姆西斯大帝。拉姆西斯在位67年，对多数埃及人而言，他是唯一的国王也是永远的大帝。 Discovery Channel将带您深入拉姆西斯的世界，一窥这位在圣经人物中唯一可见的人物面貌，以及其缔造的丰功伟业

Documentary that reveals the secret story behind one of the greatest intellectual feats of World War II, a feat that gave birth to the digital age. In 1943, a 24-year-old maths student and a GPO engineer combined to hack into Hitler's personal super-code machine - not Enigma but an even tougher system, which he called his 'secrets writer'. Their break turned the Battle of Kursk, powered the D-day landings and orchestrated the end of the conflict in Europe. But it was also to be used during the Cold War - which meant both men's achievements were hushed up and never officially recognised.
