MYTHS AND LEGENDS

Well, ­ you have asked what's myth and what's real and how can you tell the difference if, in fact, there is a difference. Here's an issue to answer your questions. DIGTM will travel the world checking out truth and fiction, and how fiction is sometimes based on truth. We'll travel to Oregon's Crater Lake where myth and the historical and geological record connect. Heard the Civil War story of the cat in the cannon? We'll go onsite with archaeolgists to tell you the "real story." Then, it's off to the ancient Greek world to find out if there really were Amazon warriors and what digging around Delphi and the oracle site has revealed. While with the ancient Greeks, we'll revisit the story of Atlantis - think it's true? We'll have a few answers for you. There's a stop in China to find out why no one's excavating an emperor's tomb. Is the legend really true? And, that's not all. We'll also be in England checking out a giant burial and in Egypt checking in on Cleopatra.
