With unprecedented access to unfolding excavations and some of the best finds of recent years, the second season of Bettany Hughes’ Treasures of the World returns to Channel 4.
The journey continues, exploring ancient archaeological sites that shed light on the modern human story of civilisation; championing what ordinary people, through time, can achieve through sheer force of will and inspiration. These are neglected stories from unheard voices in extraordinary, often overlooked places.
When Covid struck Bettany and the production team got on the phone to their network of international archaeologists to work out how the Treasures of the World films could showcase new discoveries, and new understandings of the human story. This felt crucially important at a time when populations were feeling isolated and fractured - vital to showcase the joined-up nature of human history, and human society from all points of the compass.
Join award-winning historian Bettany Hughes OBE, as she discovers new archaeological finds and visits surprising places in Arabia, Turkey, Cyprus, Oman, Albania, Jordan and along the Silk Roads of Azerbaijan.
SandStone Global has put together an award-winning team of filmmakers and creatives to produce an epic cinematic journey showcasing the world’s amazing sites and stories. An immersive, joyful, once in a lifetime journey to the heart of the human story. Compelling. Unforgettable. Inspiring.

Bettany Hughes always has a fantastic way of making history feel vivid and accessible—this series sounds like another brilliant mix of archaeology, storytelling, and travel. I especially like the focus on overlooked places and unheard voices in history. After diving into fascinating historical content like this, a fun little browser break at eggy car is always a nice change of pace.

Hi mates! I was browsing comparison sites when I noticed people talking about flexible payment systems here. That got me interested because I like having options. I went through the Mateslots banking options section and found it pretty easy to understand. Tried depositing with one of the listed methods, and everything worked smoothly. Ended up playing longer than planned and even managed to stretch my balance a bit.
