Factual: History

Three archaeological finds that changed our understanding of the origins of civilisation.

In this series, Janina follows in the footsteps of three men who set out across the globe in search of lost treasures. Their discoveries rewrote history, but these finds are not always what they seem.

In this series, Janina follows in the footsteps of three men who set out across the globe in search of lost treasures. The discoveries they made – the real palace behind the myth of the Minotaur, a lost Viking ship and the world’s oldest city - rewrote history.

But the finds are not always what they seem, because the men behind them were products of their eras, driven by nationalism, colonialism, and ego while competing to stamp their mark on our shared past.
