Science and archeology show informative but a little dry.

Is It Any Good?

This interesting series highlights how scientists can use traditional discovery and modern animation techniques to create a better understanding of how iconic places unearthed over the centuries were built and used. It also tries to figure out why, in some cases, they were abandoned. While it's possible to offer many concrete details about engineering of these monuments, what they find often leads to more questions. Beautiful photography, dynamic imagery, and music are used to keep it all from sounding too dry. Nonetheless, if you're interested in archeology, history, or engineering, you'll find Unearthed's detailed explanations and discussions worth paying attention to.
