As I watched this I could barely hold my anxiety and I said to myself "dig it up already". I watched as two graduate students meandered the sites in a slow methodical fashion. Why not send in an archeological crew that numbered in the thousands to survey and and dig these sites. It wasn't until 16:30 minutes in, when Duncan Metcalfe spoke, that it finally clicked. They are under no pressure. Why not take the time and patience to understand these people. It was then that I realized what a gem they have found in the archeological community and I truly respected the idea of taking the time to pay homage to these people. It's sad that much of our history has been recorded in such a hastened manner and I find it a relief , although against my own human nature, that this site is researched in a just time.

It makes me sick the people on here that didn't like this show. Why would you just randomly push play on something you had no idea about what it was. Did you just say eny-meeny-miney-moe and pick this one. Alan Alda is brilliant as always. I've always looked up to Alan for his scientific curiosity and this series was one of the best philanthropic jobs a celeb could do. I love archeology and science.

alan alda is so cool i liked him in mash and am curious what else he has done

I started watching this show and was put off by the narrator in less than 10 seconds.Oh, and it's grae-nerynot gran-ery you stick in the mud...couldn't even finish writing this before I had to stop the video...and Hulu...typing in caps to help readers understand pronunciation doesn't denote yelling, just because it is in caps...
