What Parents Need to Know
About Cities of the Underworld
Parents need to know that each episode of this series is a detail-packed mini history lesson about the tunnels, caves, cisterns, dungeons, and tombs that have been discovered beneath the streets in cities all over the world. Kids may find some spaces and descriptions frightening -- like those involving prisons, tombs, and torture dungeons -- but thanks to the high-definition video and dramatic music and camera angles, this show will hold the attention of school-aged children interested in history, archaeology, or engineering.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the appeal of shows like this. Do they make education fun? Do you think they usually give an accurate representation of the facts? How could you find out more if you wanted to? Families can also discuss the specific information presented in each episode, from straight-up history (what was the significance of each historical period?) to geography (where are these cities located?). Kids may also be interested in the engineering and architecture of the ancient structures.

It is an excellent show. ummm...I think it is a good show but kids my age will probably not like it because ir's too much history and not enough action and adventure. But I love it.

Grab A Shovel And Dig History For Yourself.
Cities of the Underworld is an awesome look at history. By simply pulling back the layers of society that hides it from plain sight, you the viewer feel like you are given a backstage pass to the knowledge that hidden from the regular audience. It's very informative and fast paced so as to keep your eyes and ears glued to the revelations presented. The host Eric Gellar is energetic with a no holds barred craving for previously unrevealed underbelly of our thriving civilization. A must see History Channel production.
