STOP! Look closely...it's not the same one! Don't order it!

Sorry, SF, but I thought the same thing until I checked the details.

What's being talked about is the Neil Oliver one...which happens to be broken up into ten minute segments on You Tube....annoying to watch in tem minute segments and the video is a bit jerky at times but the information is there. Having watched the first two parts, I have to agree that it's very good. Reminds me of a series on Ireland that I saw a few years back where they made a point of separating the facts from the popular fictions.

I'd be interested in that, you happen to have the details? Thanks.

I'm googling and trying to remember the exact title of the show. I seem to remember that it was in three or four parts and dealt with the real archeological evidence of the history rather than the popular myths...

My inability to be able to put my finger on the title is a typical middle-age thing...I'll keep looking and will probably remember it in the middle of the night...when I do, I'll forward the information.
