Cities of the Underworld
In every major metropolis, skyscrapers loom above, taxis and vendors clamor at street level, and subways rumble below. But deeper beneath the hectic surface lie other, silent worlds, each with its own mysterious and fascinating history.
Cities of the Underworld peels away the layers of time-often literally hundreds of feet thick-to expose the incredible pasts lurking beneath some of the most populous cities on earth.
Throughout the world, cities such as Paris, New York, Rome and Shanghai all harbor long-submerged networks that once served crucial functions, from eerie catacombs to clandestine hideouts and ancient aqueducts to underground societies.
Cities of the Underworld examines these mysterious realms, from the technological feats of their construction and the myths and lore that have cloaked these subterranean marvels for centuries.
Featuring rare location hi-definition footage, The History Channel shows a world filled with mysteries and secrets just below the ground we walk on.
Enjoy the subject matter of the doc's but the delivery by the comentator is very grating and detrimental to the subject. We are not in a Pub ! Had to stop watching!
I watched prophecy from Israel a few weeks ago and they showed Mt. Megiddo and it showed how it was mentioned in the history of the place. How is this for a prophecy; two thousand years ago Mt. Megiddo was to be the sight for the Apocalypse - seems crazy doesn't it? Yet today Mt. Megiddo is the sight of the Jewish Nuclear Arsenal - not so crazy now is it?
Great video! Thank you!
Could never understand why people find it necessary to bag a show on the internet !! FFS...its not rocket science...if you dont like it, dont watch it !!!! Love the series myself...and no, im not American !!!!
Interesting but the host needs to take a sedative.
great documentaries.. thoroughly enjoyed.. especially new york and london ones..thanks Eric
why is he yelling?
I love the "History Channel" but the way they portrayed these documentaries on archaeology was just plain wrong but I suppose they felt that they needed to use that format to keep people interested and in-tune to it week after week.
This videos are great and the creativity that people had to build things is amazing.
So interesting, but I do wish he'd learned how to pronounce Edinburgh before presenting a documentary on it!
Interesting, because according to ALL linguists AMERICA perfected the english language. Think there's a doc on that here or documentaryheaven.
i just cant watch docus when there is an american accent. i love america but i hate the presentation
Amazing. I never knew about cities below cities it's a real eye opener. Most of my friends have no idea about it either. Very enlightening. Thank you.
we should all start trying to learn about history, that way we don't repeat it!!!!
still good to wacth tho thanks for the feed
subtitles when not realy needed allways makes me lol stupid amaricans lol
american production... for americans, what a waste of resources
Great docu..I really enjoyed it.I would like to THANK those involve in producing this docus.I learned alot about the cities and its under world i never new existed for some cities.It would be a dream to see a similar production produced by my own country.Thumbs up and great respects to all.
good doc the style is different but not that bad thats what volume control and equalizers are for
i actually really like it
This is quite interesting. As someone who has visited Istanbul seven times, and has family living there, I had always sensed that the city had layers. In America we think that something is old if it is 200 years old. The Turks know what old architecture really is.
One of the things I love about Istanbul is that you will have a modern fast food joint next to a thousand year old Mosque.
Give me David Attenborough... American narrators are always unbearable to listen to. American narrators, chill the f*** out, everything isn't an action movie.
I am seven episodes in, so the style and music makes it feel very repetitive, but its very interesting. I got some more to watch :) thank you for sharing
Wow amazing. Made respect to you to you Valko. Thanks for the 100+ Hours of entertainment over the years. You must be some sort of shiny metal God!
25 mins in - "The water was preventing me from exploring the hippodrome further - OR WAS IT?". I for one will never know - can't take this any longer.
