Ancient Discoveries: Mega Machines [DVD] [2007]

In 2004 the American School of Classical Studies in Greece made a surprising discovery of two limestone coffins which dated back 3000 years. Archaeologist Guy Sanders was not only surprised by the quality of the sarcophagi but shocked by their size and weight. The coffins weighed 3 tons, and he concluded that the people of the Geometric Period must have used massive machines to move them. From the Pharos of Alexandria to the Parthenon on the Acropolis we will delve into the world of the ancient heavy engineers, and discover how their machines were used to build and transport some of the most amazing structures in Antiquity.

Secret agent MacGyver uses his endless scientific resourcefulness and creativity to resolve even the most complicated problems in his high-octane assignments. This set contains every episode from the second season of the classic crime drama MacGyver.
