This National Geographic series looks at ancient China sites using all the archaeological tools including the most modern one, satellite imagery. The first season has three episodes; Secrets of the Great Wall, Mysteries of Xanadu, and China's Pompeii. The Great Wall is an obvious subject but it's actually the ground level presentation which is the most compelling. Xanadu actually works as a subject especially with the satellite revealing an actual discovery. It's interesting to get a lay of the land and some visuals of the buildings. Pompeii has the most intriguing revelation and it has nothing to do with the landslide. I'm actually most interested in the figures of Shimao which look so strikingly similar to the carvings in Central America. It's as if these people and those in Central America are descended from the same ancestors. The bronze figures are the best.
