A fascinating profile of Hatshepsut, who became female pharaoh of Egypt 3,000 years ago. The males who followed her reign did everything in their power to obliterate her name from history.

She ruled over men, bedding the likes of Julius Caesar and Marc Anthony, and led one of the world's greatest civilizations. Her name has been immortalized in myth and legend. So, how did Cleopatra become the last of the pharaohs? In the shadow of the pyramids, Josh Bernstein joins Zahi Hawass on a hunt for mummies from the time of Cleopatra. He'll come face to face with Cleopatra's killer, the Egyptian cobra, and sail down the Nile River searching for clues to her true history. In Alexandria, Josh will descend into the cisterns below the modern city to look for evidence of Cleopatra's reign. Finally he'll dive into the harbor of Alexandria, where a beautiful palace lies--possibly the last vestige of Cleopatra's legendary wealth--the only testament to a woman who was perhaps the wisest and most cunning of all of Egypt's pharaohs.

Don explores newly discovered ruins and caves in Croatia as he uncovers the true story of a formidable queen who dared to defy the powerful Roman Empire.

A teenage girl so dangerous, she was burnt at the stake? Why did her executioners believe she was a witch? How did an illiterate peasant girl take command of an army and seat a king on the throne of France? We'll explore the remarkable story of the woman warrior who became a saint.

Wife, mother, queen...and leader of one of the most violent rebellions against Roman domination in British history. This we know about Boudica, Queen of the Iceni. Her story and her tribe's have been recorded by Roman historians, pondered by scholars, and examined by archaeologists who continue to dig for clues about this warrior whose army set fear in the hearts of Romans. When King Prasutagus died, the Iceni tribe, which once lived in peace with Rome, were brutally set upon by Romans--they beat Queen Boudica and raped her daughters. Seething with revenge, Boudica's forces attacked Roman settlements including London, a thriving Roman merchant center, which was destroyed. Here, we uncover the remarkable story of Boudica, who led her tribe in a revolt never seen before or since in British history. Her struggle--to free Briton's tribes from Roman domination; at stake--the freedom and independence of all Briton's tribes and their unique Celtic culture.

Julius Caesar invaded Britain in 55 and 54 BC, gaining submission of the six eastern Celtic tribes. As the Roman Empire's farthest flung province, its merchants enjoyed a healthy trade with Roman Gaul, and for about 100 years, the tribes were mainly left alone. But in 60 AD, a warrior queen named Boudicca rose in revolt. When her husband died, Boudicca became Queen of the Iceni. Roman administrators tried to control the Iceni by appropriating their land and disarming the tribe. After the Romans flogged Boudicca and raped her two daughters, she raised a mighty army believed to number over 100,000 and took the fight to the Romans.

On December 4, 1926, Agatha Christie's car was found abandoned at a scenic spot a few miles from the busy English town of Guildford.

In January 1941, 37-year-old Amy Johnson, a world-famous record-breaking pilot, took off in an Airspeed Oxford from an RAF base in northern England. She was delivering a plane to RAF Kidlington, 150 miles south. But dense cloud cover forced her to navigate by compass alone. Her plane was seen over the Thames Estuary, apparently in trouble. Johnson parachuted out just before her plane plummeted into the sea. Despite an intensive search in the icy water, Amy Johnson had vanished without a trace.

In the 1920s, advances in aviation technology drove adventurers higher, faster, and further. And it wasn't just men that caught the flying bug. We follow the attempts by three women to be the first of their sex to cross the Atlantic--Princess Loewenstein Wertheim, Frances Grayson, and Elsie Mackay. All three set off from the United Kingdom with high hopes of reaching the continent. But none made it. All three vanished somewhere over the Atlantic. What happened to these brave lady fliers?
