AXE MAN - The timber industry has been one of the backbones of the building of America. And it’s a treacherous industry indeed. More men lose their lives in this line of work than any other occupation in America. The History Channel gets inside the great forests of the Pacific Northwest with the men who literally lay their lives on the line to bring out the giant logs that are transformed into every kind of useful object that we all rely upon, including the very houses we live in. A sense of impending danger is present always, as you watch these men work up close and face the ever-present dangers of the giant forest.

BATTLE 360 Degree - The mighty aircraft carrier The Enterprise was engaged in every major sea battle in the Pacific Theatre, during WWII. Every raging, fierce battle required 360 degree coordination between the carrier, its surrounding destroyers, the aircraft above, and the submarine below – and instinct and guts to try to determine the enemy’s next move. This series follows the Enterprise and its men all through the war, showing the full 360 degree view of what we were doing, what the enemy was doing, and the results of all the strategies and decisions that both sides made.

CITIES OF THE UNDERWORLD - The buzz and commotion of our modern cities is nothing compared to the amazing secrets simmering just beneath our feet. The History Channel adventures hundreds of feet beneath the pavement of today’s greatest cities to reveal those who came before us, in the layers of city upon city below.

HUMAN WEAPON - Brutal yet refined, the martial arts take its practitioners into an extreme, mythic world where their minds and bodies become the weapons. Our hosts – a martial artist and a former football player and wrestler – go on a quest to enter the realm of martial arts around the world, like China’s Kung Fu and Thailand’s vicious Muay Thai. In each place, our hosts get the lay of the land en route to a showdown with the Master there.

ICE ROAD TRUCKERS - Big rigs on thin ice—rugged individualists are the last frontiersmen driving down roads that date back tens-ofthousands of years to man’s earliest migration. Live the life of these iconoclasts as they brave the dangers of cold, ice and darkness to haul vital supplies to diamond mines in the Northwest Territories. It’s a microcosm of preserved history: the Western tradition of the gold rush. The fascinating story of gold, diamond, exploration, adventure, danger, and the evolution of one of the world’s last great frontiers.

JURASSIC FIGHT CLUB - They were the ultimate fighters, these prehistoric beasts that walked the earth millions of years ago. With cunning and strategy, they hunted their prey - transforming the prehistoric world into a battlefield. Some of these dinosaurs were larger than seven-story buildings! Today we are uncovering their battlefields and gaining startling new insight into how quick thinking, maneuverability, and striking at the exact moment separated the weak from the strong. The CGI animations are stunningly real, and the archaeologists explain how this predatory world was far more calculated - and complex - than we originally thought.

LOST WORLDS - Ever wanted to go inside a secret Cold War-era Presidential bunker, or walk the streets of Al Capone’s Chicago? How about running into Jekyll & Hyde in the underworld of Edinburgh, or seeing the construction of the Titanic? Lost Worlds returns for a second season as our graphic engineers re-create accurate and stunningly beautiful visions of these and other legendary civilizations. Each week, another “lost world” comes to life as historical detectives piece together clues from excavations, scientific studies, and documents.

MEGA DISASTERS - Humanity beware, the series that looks at some of the greatest natural disasters in history is back. New York City destroyed by a gigantic earthquake? Europe decimated by the return of the Black Death? Worst of all, a global pandemic caused by an infection from outer space? Unimaginable? Think again, for comparable events have happened before, and they may happen again. Using state-of-the-art animation to restage past true-life calamities such as searing supernovas, locust swarms and colossal volcanic eruptions, we ask the ultimate question of ourselves and our cities, “What if?”

In this new series, The History Channel teams up with UFO Magazine to find out if there is any substance to these stories of alien encounters.
