Dr Janina Ramirez unlocks the secrets of illuminated manuscripts that were custom-made for kings and explores the medieval world they reveal. Part 1: Ruling by the Book Janina begins her journey with the first Anglo-Saxon rulers to create a united England, encountering books in the British Library's Royal manuscripts collection which are over a thousand years old and a royal family tree which is five metres long. Janina finds out about a king who had a reputation for chasing nuns and reads a book created as a wedding gift for a ten-year-old prince. She roams from Westminster Abbey to other ancient English spiritual sites such as Winchester, St Albans and Malmesbury, and sees for herself how animal skins can be transformed into the finest vellum. Part 2: What a King Should Know Janina shows how medieval manuscripts gave power to the king and united the kingdom in an age of plague, warfare and rebellion, discovers that Edward III used the manuscripts he read as a boy to prepare him for his great victory at the battle of Crecy and reveals how a vigorous new national identity bloomed during the 100 Years War with France. In the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection Dr Ramirez finds out that magnificent manuscripts like the Bedford Hours, taken as war booty from the French royal family, were adapted for the education of English princes. She also explores how knowledge spread through a new form of book - the encyclopaedia. Part 3: Libraries Gave Us Power The story of the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection reaches its end with the last great flowering of illumination, in the magnificent courts of the Tudors. She investigates astrological texts created for Henry VII, and unwraps his will - still in its original, extravagantly-decorated velvet and gold cover. She hears music written for Henry VIII, which went unperformed for centuries| and reads love notes between the king and Anne Boleyn, written in the margins of a prayer book. Nina also visits Bruges, the source of many of the greatest manuscripts, where this medieval art form collided with the artistic innovations of the Renaissance. （转自mvgroup论坛）。EP01 THE VANISHED CITY OF THE PHARAOH 皮拉美西斯（Piramesse），古埃及首都，由法老拉美西斯二世（Ramesses the Great）于3000年前建成。当这座失落的城市被发现时，考古学家感觉相当困惑，因为拉美西斯二世根本不可能在此处建城。本片重现了古埃及以及早期考古学家活动的场景，让我们跟随现代考古学家Manfred Bietak与Edgar Pusch的脚步，看他们如何解释皮拉美西斯消失的原因以及为什么数千年后它会出现在错误的地方。 EP02 THE CURSED VALLEY OF THE PYRAMIDS 在秘鲁北部兰巴耶克（Lambeyeque）山谷中，有将近250座用泥砖兴建的金字塔。很久以前兰巴耶克人存在着莫明的恐惧，他们认为建造金字塔是他们存活的关键。在一座名为Tucume的城市中，26座...。
