Some of the coveted objects were said to have magical powers, some were desperately sought by government leaders and some were even said to fulfil prophecies. Whatever their USP, the treasure hunters were on their golden trail.
Bringing to life some of these unsolved myths on screen, Raiders Of The Lost Past features men searching for hordes of gold, possessions of unlimited power and secrets of eternal life. For most people the stories told in the series are those of fantasy and film like in Indiana Jones, but these are the true stories of the real adventurers who believed in the legends.

The series explores mysteries from across the centuries including Himmler and his expeditions to Greenland to unearth the Holy Grail, Percy Fawcett's search for the real El Dorado and a 21st Century expedition to find Noah's Ark.
