Shalom All, we occasionally receive showings of a series from Britain that is quite good but none of us here can recall the name! It basically has a team of academics recreating ancient things to see how it was done. Some of the things that they have done is the water works from the hanging garden of Babylon, the Stone circles in England, the Archimedes hook. If you know the name I would love to know it. Thanks, Dov

Hi there,

I am going to take a stab in the dark here but are you referring to:

'What did the Romans ever do for us?' and the various spin off shows including the Victorians and Tudors etc?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/romans/tech_01.shtml

I hope this helps somewhat

Nope that's not it but it looks interesting.

I found it! It's called 'Secrets of the Ancients'.
