Moments In Time

Archaeological finds become tickets to travel back in time, and our tour guide is host James Woods. Why did three-thousand French troops die in the mountains after Emperor Napoleon's failed invasion of Russia? Did the legendary battle between Antony and Cleopatra and the Roman Octavius really happen? We find out by joining Woods on a trip into history. Anything could catapult us into the past: a button from a buried soldier's coat, a piece of the battering ram from Antony and Cleopatra's warship, the hilt of a sword possibly worn by Captain John Smith at the first American settlement. These artifacts become the point around which entire scenes from the past are built, and Woods offers modern perspective and wry commentary on these featured Moments In Time.
