Ultimate Weapons

Sun, Jun 29, 201442 mins

We think of weapons of mass destruction as a modern concept, but the ancients also created fearsome weapons of their own, some even more destructive than we can create today. Centuries before the widespread discovery of gunpowder, one ancient genius managed to build a cannon that could fire a projectile using the power of steam! We reveal an ancient troop ship mightier than an aircraft carrier, and death rays that could burn enemy ships. How were the ancients capable of creating seemingly impossible warfare technologies thousands of years before modern times?

60 Days In

9 Seasons
The concept of this show is great, the show and content was great and entertaining. Each person involved in their volunteered 60 day imprisonment wa well thought and planned out most of them had great inputs to help solve problems and make improvements in the jail. The major drawback is...if you enjoy watching the same material repeated every episode and only about 7 minutes of new material, you'll enjoy this series. It was frustrating just having to see the same stuff over and over and over.
