Ancient X-Files 遠古X檔案
Experts travel to incredible locations across the world to find out the truth behind some famous unsolved mysteries

  What would you do to get to the bottom of something? Would you travel the globe to hunt down every last clue? Would you risk your life to find out the truth? The scholars, archeologists1, and scientists on National Geographic Channel's "Ancient X-Files" do these and more. Each story in this series is a piece of detective2 work. The experts follow clues and put theories to the test in an attempt to explain the unexplained.

  In "The Holy Grail3" episode, Janice Bennett investigates whether a chalice4 in Spain could be the famous cup used by Jesus Christ. As a Grail researcher, Bennett has come across many fakes in her time. However, this particular chalice is guarded by a brotherhood5 that has sworn to defend it with their lives.

  Another mystery presented in the same episode is that of the Minotaur's labyrinth6. According to Greek mythology7, the Minotaur was a creature with the head and tail of a bull on the body of a man. It was locked up in a massive labyrinth with no way out. Now a scholar from Oxford University believes he has found its mysterious location.

 

  如果您想瞭解某些事物的真相,您會做什麼?您會不會走遍全球來尋找所有僅存的線索?您是否會冒著生命危險來挖掘真相?國家地理頻道《遠古X檔案》的學者、考古學家和科學家不但做了上述的一切,而且還付出了更多心力。此系列節目的每篇報導都是一件件偵察工作。專家們追尋線索、檢視各種理論,都是為了試圖解釋那些無法解釋的事件。

  在《聖杯傳說》這集節目中,珍妮絲•班奈特調查一個出現在西班牙的聖餐杯是否就是耶穌曾使用過的著名聖杯。身為聖杯的研究人員,班奈特在一生當中曾經碰過許多贗品。然而這個特殊聖杯的守護者,是一個誓死用生命來捍衛它的兄弟會。

  在同一集節目中,呈現在觀眾眼前的另一個謎團就是邁諾托的迷宮。根據希臘神話,邁諾托是一隻牛頭人身、並且長著一條牛尾巴的怪獸。牠被囚禁在一個沒有任何出口的龐大迷宮裡。如今有一位牛津大學的學者相信他已經找到了這個神秘的地點。
