To the ancient cultures, sexuality, love and sex were inextricably connected with the creation of the earth, the heavens and the underworld. To the citizens of the ancient civilizations that gave birth to ours, sensuality and sexuality were an integral part of society.
For centuries, the sex lives of the Ancient Egyptians have been hidden away from history. Even today, some sexual images from Ancient Egypt are still censored by the authorities and concealed deep in the vaults of museum collections. In this candid and evocative program, take a fascinating journey back in time to discover the true story behind sex in Ancient Egypt. Join the experts as they reveal the meaning of sexually explicit graffiti, thousands of years old, found on the walls of an ancient limestone tomb near the Valley of the Kings.
Next, witness the dramatic and high-tech computer re-creation of what is possibly the world’s oldest form of erotica — the Turin Erotic Papyrus. Long shrouded in mystery, explore the many questions surrounding this controversial artifact: Does it portray the sex lives of the Gods and provide a coded message to the afterlife? Is it part of an elaborate and mystical ritual of conception? Or is it simply a relic of sexually explicit material from the ancient world?
This series exploration of Egyptian and Roman sexual practice allows viewers the opportunity to see how attitudes and beliefs about sexuality functioned in the early civilizations, and how those attitudes reveal the unspoken rules that defined public and private behavior. Episodes cover human sex and sexuality from a historical perspective, and examines in detail different texts and images which provide us with evidence about sexual practices, beliefs and ideologies in the ancient world – from erotica on pots to legal texts, phallic votive objects, fertility ceremonies, prostitution, female and hermaphroditic creator deities, from religious rituals to sex manuals.
There are so many documentaries, history books and versions about Alexander The Great and Macedon people and culture, some of them contradict because are created for political reasons, divide and rule! This lectures open my eyes generally for any historical figure, culture or information.
Why ?
Simply because even the glorious historians are on pay check and listen to someone, the books, who wrote them, do those people were next to Alexander or any history information and saw with them eyes, of course not, they just write what have been told or what they read somewhere.
Open my eyes because the professor is using 4 different sources of information, some has been next to Alexander and compare the information for himself and all of us to come to logical conclusion what is the real truth.
Yes, I'm aware, I'm not the creator of the documentaries. My intention is purely to share truth, if any organization is offended or feel I have interrupted them intellectual property, I previously apologize and I'm ready to add more credits, links to the website, lessons or even remove the content. Please inform me asap as you see and I will do as you wish.
Much positivity,

The location of the tomb of Alexander the Great is an enduring mystery. Shortly after Alexander's death in Babylon, the possession of his body became a subject of negotiations between Perdiccas, Ptolemy I Soter, and Seleucus I Nicator. According to Nicholas J. Saunders, while Babylon was the "obvious site" for Alexander's resting place, some favoured interring the ruler in the Argead burial at Aegae, modern Vergina. Aegae was one of the two originally proposed resting places, according to Saunders, the other being Siwa Oasis and in 321 BC Perdiccas presumably chose Aegae. The body, however, was hijacked en route by Ptolemy I Soter. According to Pausanias and the contemporary Parian Chronicle records for the years 321–320 BC, Ptolemy initially buried Alexander in Memphis. In the late 4th or early 3rd century BC, during the early Ptolemaic dynasty, Alexander's body was transferred from Memphis to Alexandria, where it was reburied.
How could one of the most hallowed tombs in history simply disappear? Historians are forced to examine ancient eyewitness accounts and follow bizarre theories in their quest to locate the missing Alexander the Great.

The French astrologer Nostradamus remains most famous, still often consulted to apply his thousands of 'prophecies' to modern history. In his day, he was a medical and astronomy student at Montpellier university but probably dropped out to practice healing in Agen and later became the astrologer of the elite, up to the court of Renaissance king Henry II. Harsh criticism from contemporary colleagues, who were numerous, may be mainly jealousy, but his horoscopes were not only often wrong, partially attributable to human free will, but also shoddy even by astrologer standards, simply miscalculating birth charts.
Some believe Nostradamus predicted 9/11, the rise of Hitler, and JFK's assassination, but is there a real link between these events and his ancient prophecies?
