Today on Far Future Horizons we present another exciting
episode of the acclaimed documentary series Ancient Discoveries which explores
the elite military tactical teams of classical antiquity, trained to perform
high-risk dangerous missions that conventional military units cannot perform.
In this instalment Ancient Discoveries, we examine the ancient Roman navy SEAL technique of
capturing enemy ships from underwater and replicate the feat with a champion
free-diver who will work with ancient tools underwater on one breath for six
minutes.
This documentary will attempt to solve one of
History's greatest mysteries, the tactics of ancient Roman war dog units; we
meet a historically savage breed of dog--the Mastiff--that may have been used
on the battlefields of antiquity. Learn the secrets of the samurai sword--how
it was made and how it became the most legendary blade in History.
We will also learn the secrets of the samurai sword,
from how it was made to how it became the most legendary blade in history.
Finally, we build and test an ancient Horro - a
Japanese device that could protect a galloping cavalryman from arrow fire, yet
was only made from a billowing layer of thin silk.
This and other exciting episodes in the Ancient Discoveries series can be purchased on DVD from the History Channel’s online shop, or in special DVD collections available in the United Kingdom through Amazon.co.uk.
