La mayor parte de las supremacías militares registradas a lo largo de la historia se han basado en el aprovechamiento unilateral de auténticas revoluciones tecnológicas en el ámbito bélico, como el arco, las armas forjadas, la caballería, la pólvora y la bomba atómica, entre otras. Y aunque no son pocos los grandes imperios que se han alzado gracias a las ventajas tecnológicas, nunca debe minusvalorarse el papel de los soldados, ya que las fuerzas mejor entrenadas, armadas y especializadas han sido las responsables de numerosas victorias, tanto las conseguidas de facto como las logradas a base de miedo y coacción. ‘Black Ops de la Antigüedad’, hace un exhaustivo repaso por algunas de las más importantes unidades de élite, en diversos ejércitos y diferentes épocas.

This is a story of one man\'s magnificent obsession. It would cost him terrible personal tragedy and sixteen years of his life, but it would ultimately end in triumph. Mel Fisher was a chicken farmer from Indiana. From an early age he had fallen in love with diving - in particular diving for treasure. Fisher became obsessed with the lost Spanish Galleon the Nuestra Senora de Atocha (\"Our Lady of Atocha\"), that had sunk off the Florida coast. It was loaded with fabulous treasure looted from the New World - including copper, silver, gold, tobacco, emeralds, jewellery, and indigo. But she was caught in a hurricane 35 miles off Key West in the Florida Keys and sank. 265 people drowned. Mel uprooted his wife and four children: and took them to Florida in his hunt for the Atocha. For sixteen years they found nothing. In the middle of these lean years, as money ran short, tragedy struck. On July 13, 1975 Mel\'s oldest son Dirk, his wife Angel, and diver Rick Gage died after their boat capsized during their quest for the treasure. Mel kept going through these hard times thanks to his motto; Today\'s the Day. Finally, on July 20th, 1985, his son, Kane Fisher, captain of the salvage vessel Dauntless, sent a jubilant message to his father\'s headquarters, \"Put away the charts; we\'ve found the main pile!\" Ecstatic crew members described the find as looking like a reef of silver bars. At long last, the wreck\'s \"motherlode\" had been found. But this is not the end of the story -it continues today with Mel\'s grandson - Sean...

A young archaeologist risks everything in his quest to find one of the world\'s greatest treasures - the fabled lost library of Ivan the Terrible. It\'s a story that begins during the 15th century, and the sacking of Constantinople. The Ottoman Empire is approaching from the East, preparing to launch an all-out attack on the city. The Sultan rushes to save its most valuable treasures. The Library is its most valuable, and it\'s whisked away for safe keeping in Moscow. This was no ordinary library, but the greatest library outside of Rome. Records chronicled hundreds of carts laden with the rarest books, written by the world\'s greatest minds in history: Aristotle, Plato, Homer. These are reputed to be jewel encrusted tomes that hail from all parts of the globe. Ivan the Terrible\'s lost library became an obsession of Ignatius Stelletski, an archaeologist and historian. Its discovery would elevate him into the pantheon of history, and acquire wealth beyond his wildest dreams. In the early part of the 20th century he began to search the maze of underground tunnels lying beneath Moscow for the library. In 1914 he discovers a list that catalogues some of the more famous books in the library, including Aristotle\'s 2nd book of Poetics. The outbreak of World War One forces Stelletski to halt his work. Returning to his flat years later, the professor finds his home sacked, and the vital list gone. But his lifelong passion is undimmed. Stelletski continues undeterred to find the lost library, negotiating his way through all the political intrigue and villainy of 20th century Russia - the October Revolution, the rise of Stalin, and World War II. His search takes him under the Moscow Kremlin, in the Secret Gate to Zhitnev yard, in the bell tower of Ivan the Great Wall at Tseyhgauzskoy, the Round Tower, Borovitckii hill embankment of the Moscow River, and the Kremlin Arsenal Tower. Stelletski dies with the final words on his lips \"maktaba\", Arabic for library, with a tantalisi.

The team knows a rust-free GTO would be a great car to kick off the new U.S. workshop. But these cars are rare, and Mike has to travel all the way to Chicago – almost 2,000 miles – to find one. When he does, he discovers this great time-warp muscle car isn’t all it seems. Edd discovers it hides some gremlins, which will make it hard to sell in hot California. Mike sets them a challenge, to make a $10,000 profit. But the market isn’t always stable – will they manage?

A pickup truck is a stateside icon and Mike is keen to get into the booming classic truck market. He manages to find a 1950’s F1, which is an unfinished project. The bodywork has already been stripped of paint and this patina gives Mike an idea – give this down-at-heel Ford a vintage rusted look. Drawing inspiration from this creative vision, Edd creates a paint scheme based on a ‘sandstorm in the desert,’ brands the windows with molten steel and builds a high-spec flathead V8 to blast it down the road. But will this eccentric truck with its unique Wheeler Dealers style find a buyer willing to pay a premium?
