Season 5 episodes (6)

1 The Secrets of Pompeii's Dead
11/29/22
When Mt. Vesuvius erupted 2000 years ago, it buried the towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Today new discoveries are revealing a detailed timeline of the final heart-breaking moments of the citizens trapped in its aftermath. Archaeologists are finding that many of those who didn't survive belong to a previously hidden world of enslaved peoples, a forgotten class of ordinary people vital to ancient Roman society.
2 Pearl Harbor
12/6/22
The attack on Pearl Harbor took the US fleet by surprise and went down in history books. But draining the islands of Hawai'i using the latest scanning techniques not only reveals the advanced technology of secret Japanese subs and fighter planes that enabled the enemy to sink US battleships, but that the battle itself started far earlier and was far wider ranging than anyone ever knew before.
3 The Amber Room
12/13/22
The Amber Room is one of the world's most valuable lost art treasures. Stolen by the Nazis and kept in a castle on the Baltic coast, it vanished in the brutal last months of the war. Today the new discovery of a shipwreck holding a large secret cargo leads explorers to the heart of the mystery, and reveals a forgotten tragedy of 1945: the largest sea evacuation in history, dwarfing Dunkirk in size.
4 Ancient Maya Resurrection
12/20/22
In the 9th century the Maya civilisation began to disappear. This 'collapse' is hotly debated. New discoveries offer a different view. In Mexico the discovery of the lost Kingdom of Sak Tz'i reveals that the Maya did not entirely disappear, and at the city of Chichen Itza a ritual human sacrifice in an underwater cave shows that even through environmental disaster the city thrived.
5 The Alamo
1/2/23
Archaeologists explore the events surrounding the 1836 Battle of the Alamo – America's most famous siege. Shipwrecks in the Gulf of Mexico tell of weapon trafficking that foreshadow the epic battle. Archaeologists reveal the original structure of the fort, recreated in CGI, and at San Jacinto, scientific investigation uncovers how Texas, against all the odds, secured its independence.
6 Narcos
1/3/23
The investigation of a mysterious plane wreck in the tranquil waters of the Caribbean and the discovery of secret tunnels along the US border with Mexico reveal the incredible lengths cartels go to in a bid to ensure narcotics find a way to cities and towns across the world. Hidden from sight on land and at sea, we learn first-hand the ways in which the cartels operate and the routes.

I have loved this series since it started. The first one I ever watched was about Titantic & I was hooked. This show gives viewers a unique look at things we wouldn't be able to see otherwise. It's often easy to forget that the subjects of each episode were real & working, with flesh & blood humans once upon a time bc we've read about them in books or watched documentaries. "Drain" makes it all tangible again & we learn new things or relearn what we thought we knew already. It's a must watch!
