From the early Presocratics like Thales and Pythagoras to the monumental achievements of Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle, ancient Greece laid the groundwork for Western thought. Later medieval scholars like Augustine and Thomas Aquinas bridged the gap between classical reason and religious faith. Discover the extraordinary story of the thinkers who dared to question existence itself and changed human history forever.You can now become a History Hit member right here on YouTube!

    Stalag Luft III: The POWs Who Escaped The Nazi Fortress | WW2 Prisoners of War |Timeline

    The notorious Stalag Luft III was a specially built prison camp on Germany's border with Poland. It held 10,000 Allied airmen of all nationalities during the Second World War, and was designed to be escape proof. But for Allied prisoners of war, it was their duty to escape. This fascinating and poignant documentary tells the story of the brave and resourceful men who organised the historic Great Escape and paid a tragic price for carrying out their duty. While previous escape attempts had proved unsuccessful, the most severe punishment for recaptured prisoners was usually a spell in solitary confinement. But this time it was different. When Hitler learned of the audacious large-scale break out, he was so furious that he ordered the cold-blooded murder of 50 escapees. It's like Netflix for history...

    The Discovery Of The Earliest Human Ancestor | First Human | Timeline

    "Science doesn't proceed or get better with established ideas. You have to challenge"Recently a team of fossil hunters working in Kenya came upon a set of fossilised teeth and a series of bones. Their find set in motion a chain of events that ignited excitement across the scientific world, for if they were correct in their findings, not only would they have found the oldest human ancestor, but much of the received wisdom humankind's evolution would have to be rewritten. This programme is the story of their discovery and the implications it has for understanding of how we split from the apes. Dubbed "Millennium Man" by the press, he is twice as old as the most famous skeleton in the world "Lucy". The remarkable link between Millennium Man and humans is his ability to walk on two legs, overturning previously accepted scientific opinion on why, how and when humans began to walk. As Professor Senut who worked on the project points out, "Science doesn't proceed or get better with established ideas. You have to challenge" and Millennium Man seems to be challenging an awful lot of accepted science. Documentary first broadcast in 2001. It's like Netflix for history...
