`Raiders of the Lost Past' goes back to the golden age of treasure hunting to explore some of the world's enduring ancient and sacred mysteries. Using dramatic reconstructions, the series features investigative journeys that shed light on who the enigmatic, intrepid and driven explorers were and how they put everything on the line to search for hordes of gold, possessions of unlimited power and secrets of eternal life. Highlights include interviews with an archaeologist who claims to have discovered the Ark of the Covenant, the creationists who spend time on Turkey's Mount Ararat searching for Noah's Ark, and the search for the Nazi-looted Amber Room of the Tsars.
