The first episode opens with a fascinating documentary on Ethiopia from the French series Ushuaia. Ethiopia, a surprising country for the complexity of its aspects; with a changing, arid territory and large salt lagoons; with the Omo Valley populated by men and women, whose origins seem to date back to the dawn of time, inhabited by a fauna unique in the world. Ethiopia, the country of origins. In the reportage by Alberto Angela and Michelangelo Pepe, we will discover the most important gold mine of the Roman Empire, Las Medulas in Spain, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. 100 years after its construction, the Panama Canal, one of the greatest engineering works that connects the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic, will be doubled. By taking the Panama shortcut, in fact, ships save the 15-20 days needed to circumnavigate all of South America. And over 95% of global freight traffic takes place by sea.

A journey to the edge of the imagination, 600 km off the coast of Chile, in the Juan Fernandez archipelago. This is Robinson Island (that of the hero of Daniel Defoe's novel, in turn freely inspired by the real adventure of Alexander Selkirik). The gigantism and the profusion of wild and original flora make this place one of the greatest examples of endemic botanical phenomenon on the planet and a model of nature conservation. Alberto Angela and Michelangelo Pepe, on the trail of Saint Exupery, the author of one of the most read books in the world, The Little Prince. Was he really shot down by a German pilot while flying from Corsica to France? Lorenzo Pinna, assisted by Caterina Borelli, will take us to the tunnel, located on the seabed under the Bosphorus, which will connect European Istanbul to Asian Istanbul with a subway. During the works, the remains of 32 ships from 1000 AD were found. Air Date : 10th-Jul-2008  Read More
