> Only Alexander the Great would have the audacity to attempt such a 
> daring siege--the fortified island city of Tyre seems invincible, but 
> his Macedonian troops are inspired and determined, and the young 
> Alexander has a secret weapon--a machine created for the destruction 
> of cities: the catapult. If Tyre falls, it will be a pivotal victory 
> in Alexander's quest for a new empire--a key stop on a march that will 
> cover more than 10,000 miles and span three continents.

<http://www.history.com/shows.do?episodeId=192014&action=detail>

> Take two teams of trained oarsman and a sprinkling of international 
> yachtsmen and send them back 1200 years into the past. They will race 
> across the North Sea in two replica Viking Longboats from Jutland in 
> Denmark to Lindisfarne on the north east coast of England, site of the 
> first recorded Viking raids. Using Viking navigation techniques we 
> find out how these denizens of the North Sea achieved their remarkable 
> journey. How did they manage without maps and compasses? Can modern 
> man in an identical situation complete the journey?
