1974年，中国中部地区的一名农民在距离秦始皇墓地不足1英里的地方发现了一个前所未有的发现：被埋藏在地下的8000余座兵马俑。自发现以来的40年中，考古学家和学者持续对这个令人惊叹的遗迹进行研究，并发掘出很多遗迹，但一直未能真正破解谜题。这次，国家地理频道和英国广播公司（BBC）联手，纪录了陵墓考古学家新的挖掘进程，不仅为秦始皇考古发现提供的新的启示，并且重写了中国与西方世界交流沟通的历史。

In the Holy Land, the Roman occupation has produced a cauldron of oppression, anxiety and excessive taxes levied upon the Jewish people. Fearing the wrath of Roman governor Pontius Pilate , Jewish high priest Caiaphas tries to keep control of his people. That control is threatened when Jesus arrives in Jerusalem, performing miracles and spreading messages of love and hope. Those who fear that Jesus will inspire a revolution decide that he must die.
