Secrets of the Dead: Executed in Error DVD

In 1910, Dr. Hawley Harvey Crippen was hanged for poisoning and dismembering his wife. However, investigators have now found that the human remains discovered in Crippen's cellar were not those of his wife. Their further DNA work, revealed exclusively in this film, exposes a historic miscarriage of justice and poses uncomfortable questions about the police and prosecutors who claimed to have solved the crime of the century.

Secrets of the Dead: The Syphilis Enigma DVD

Columbus' crew carried diseases that decimated New World Indians. Their revenge, so it goes, was to send syphilis back to Europe. New evidence may refute this, and help explain how new diseases are dealt with today. A medieval skeleton from an English priory shows signs of syphilis, but in the 1340s; long before 1492. Forensic, archaeological, and medical experts study how diseases spread and mutate, perhaps resolving an age-old mystery.

Secrets of the Dead: Murder at Stonehenge DVD

At Stonehenge, a man was beheaded by a single stroke from a thin, sharp blade. Classic detective work and 21st-century archaeology reveal evidence of his identity, circumstances of his death, and Stonehenge itself. Was he a British tribal leader, judicially executed by Romans, or a Saxon killed during later Anglo-Saxon wars? Mike Pitts' excavations unearth a trail clarifying the 2,000-year-old landmark's use and the origins of modern Britain.

Ballistics experts, forensic archaeologists, and pharmacologists tackle the mystery of how so-called primitive warriors defeated a highly-trained, modern army with sophisticated military hardware.

Secrets of the Dead: Aztec Massacre DVD

Previously, historians believed that Spanish Conquistadors were seen as gods by the Aztecs, who put up little resistance to their conquest. A new find near Mexico City is turning history on its head.

Just a few miles from fabled Pompeii is Herculaneum, another city buried and frozen in time by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in A.D. 79. Today, geo-archeologists are chipping away at the soft rock, revealing that this city, unlike Pompeii, was not suffocated by falling ash.

In 1943, the Axis powers bombed Allied cities with abandon. Traditional retaliation was ineffective; a more innovative counter-attack was needed. Since the Nazis required huge amounts of water to build steel weapons, the British decided to blow up German dams in the industrial Ruhr valley. But how? Aircraft designer Barnes Wallis devised a bouncing bomb; able to skip across water, cling to its target, and detonate at a specific depth.
