The Universe: Ancient Mysteries Solved, Season 7

The Universe®: Ancient Mysteries Solved on HISTORY® looks to the heavens in an attempt to understand the age-old secrets of Earth. Applying the most advanced science, space technology and digital imaging, the series boldly tries to unravel history’s most enduring mysteries. We’ll consider the possibility that the Star of Bethlehem was not a star but a mysterious planet, and ponder whether the biblical account of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah is actually history’s record of an asteroid hitting Earth. Was Stonehenge actually a very sophisticated astronomical computer? Were the Pyramids designed as entrance ramps for a celestial pathway to the stars? In this Universe special, HISTORY takes a new direction to find answers.
