Don't miss it guyz! October 26, 2009!


Ancient Megastructures
Certain landmarks have captured the imagination and awe of modern-day architects and engineers around the world as they work to solve the mystery of how their ancient forebears were able to construct such beautiful, timeless and revolutionary structures with none of the machines and materials available to modern engineers.

From the dreams that inspired them, to the blood and sweat that built them, discover the full story behind six magnificent structures that forever changed the landscape of architecture: Petra, Alhambra, St.Paul’s Cathedral, Hagia Sophia, Machu Picchu and Angkor Wat.


If you seen the other show about Secrets of Angkor and thought it was lame! Well, this one ain't going to disappoint you guys lolz! It talks about how Angkor city was built and features King Suryavarman II life! Looks like they pay more respect to King Suryavarman II now instead of Jayavarman VII! It talks about the Marvels of the ancient Khmers ability of Hydraulic engineering system! Yes... I have ancient khmer blood running through veins! beerchug.gif

Thanks for sharing this information but when is this airing? Can't be Oct. 28 because the site says Nov. 28? And is this UK National Geo Channel or US National Geo Channel?

Holy, I used to watch a few of (modern) megastructures shows about some mega bridges in China. I was like WOW! Now our Angkor Wat is featured on the show, more WOWWWW. laugh.gif

Hopefully someone will record and upload it on the internet, that's the only I can watch it.

It gave me a virus!
BradPittJolie
are you kidding me?, that site is virus free. You must've did something wrong because you're really not downloading anything but rather streaming just like how you would on youtube.
