All times Eastern ================================================================ Monday, October 1 6.00 a.m. HISTU Classroom: Mansions of the Spirits HISTU is showing this entire series ("Egypt Beyond the Pyramids") in this time slot all week; the series is kind of old (if it's the one I think it is) but is still worth a look (some big names punctuate this series, such as Murnane, Weeks, Redford, and the omnipresent Hawass). This episode looks at Hateshepsut's temple and Karnak. 10.00 a.m. NG Shadow of Vesuvius Our weekly (it seems) look at life around Vesuvius 11.00 a.m. NG Glories of Angkor Wat Another "weekly (it seems)" ================================================================ Tuesday, October 2 6.00 a.m. HISTU Classroom: The Great Pharaoh and his Lost Children Ramesses the Great and KV5 1.00 p.m. PBSU Western Tradition: Rise of Rome "A small city in central Italy builds an empire that will shape the whole of the Western tradition" 1.30 p.m. PBSU Western Tradition: The Roman Empire "Building an empire, Rome begins to destroy its own greatness." 9.00 p.m. HISTC Ancient History Tuesdays Two hours of ancient history-related programming; the first apparently a program called "Tut's Family Curse" and the second, "Mysteries of the Nile" 10.00 p.m. TLC Atlantis Reborn "Search the heavens for evidence that the lost city of Atlantis was the cradle of civilization" 10.00 p.m. DISCC A Civilization Vanishes A vague description suggests this *might* be about the disappearance of the Anasazi but that's just a guess (the vanishing culture is North American). 11.00 p.m. HISTU Hidden Tomb of Antiochus Antiochus I of Commagen's tomb high up Mt. Nimrud ================================================================ Wednesday, October 3 6.00 a.m. HISTU Classroom: Daily Life of Ancient Egyptians The series contiues with a look at Mendes and Deir el Medina. 4.00 p.m. DISCC A Civilization Vanishes Repeat of yesterday's program ================================================================ Thursday, October 4 7.00 a.m. HISTU Classroom: Death and the Journey to Immortality Visiting the Barhariyah Oasis ... and the pyramids 10.00 p.m. DISCU King Arthur An inscription suggests the historicity of Arthur ... ================================================================ Friday, October 5 6.00 a.m. HISTU Classroom:Pyamids: Majesty and Mystery A decent program on all kinds of pyramids 9.00 p.m. TLC Nefertiti: Egypt's Mysterious Queen The search for Nefertiti's tomb. 9.00 p.m. NG A Souvenir from Egypt This one's potentially interesting: attempting to identify a mummy brought to Canada as a souvenir at the turn of the century. 10.00 p.m. TLC In Pursuit of the Shroud An older look at the shroud (pre 1990's display) ================================================================ Saturday, October 6 12.00 p.m. HISTC Tut Family Curse Repeat of Tuesday's program 4.00 p.m. TLC Atlantis Reborn Repeat of Tuesday's program 7.00 p.m. DISCU King Arthur Another repeat ... 8.00 p.m. HISTC Mysteries of the Nile .... and yet another ================================================================ Sunday, October 7 7.00 p.m. NG A Souvenir from Egypt .... and a repeat to end our programming week. ================================================================ Useful Addresses ================================================================ AWOTV on the www: http://www.atrium-media.com/awotv.html Channel Guide: http://www.atrium-media.com/awotv/channelguide.html To subscribe, send a blank message to: mailto:awotv-subscribe@yahoogroups.com To unsubscribe, send a blank message to: mailto:awotv-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com To contact the editor: mailto:editor@atrium-media.com ================================================================ Copyright (c) 2001 David Meadows.
