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.

Thank you for creating such a detailed and easy to understand guide. There are plenty of articles online about pindownload tools, but very few explain the process this clearly. Everything worked perfectly when I followed your instructions. I'll definitely recommend this page to anyone looking for a reliable solution.
I love how this series champions the "unheard voices" angle—so many archaeology shows just focus on the big monuments, but Hughes really digs into the ordinary people and their stories. The bit about them pivoting during Covid to showcase new discoveries through their archaeologist network is a great reminder that human connection doesn't stop just because we're apart. Speaking of staying connected through shared curiosity, I've been having fun with krillion unlimited as a daily trivia ritual—it scratches that same itch for uncovering hidden knowledge, just in a totally different way. Definitely adding the Silk Roads episodes to my watch list this weekend.
