Travel back to Ancient Greece as Calum, Kerry Anne and the History Hunters continue to bring history to life with fun facts, animations and experiments which show how inventions and discoveries from ancient times helped shape our everyday lives.

The marathon, the Olympics, the alphabet; you name it and the Ancient Greeks had a hand in it. The stars of the Greek world were philosophers and mathematicians like Aristotle and Pythagoras. The History Hunters' first challenge today is to recreate Greek inventor Heron's self-powered water pump and make a fountain from plastic bottles and tubes.

We also have the Greeks to thank for drama. But how did papier-mache masks feature in Greek actors' amphitheatre performances? Back in the studio, Calum and Kerry Anne investigate a pulley invented by Archimedes which was then used in theatres, allowing actors to fly above the stage.
