Olly Reports From The Field

See where the road takes Olly when he sets out to discover the truth behind epic history.

Hitler's Mummies - NEW!
Using Europe's ancient "bog people" as a justification for modern persecution was just a small part of the Nazi's dark sham. Find out how deep - and how far-fetched - the evil pseudo-science of racial research was willing to go in order to justify murder on a mass scale.

Nazi Gold
While following the trail of stolen Nazi treasure, Olly encounters the sinister truth about the roll Swiss banks played in aiding the Nazi war effort. Learn how "neutral" Switzerland willingly converted the ill-gotten gains of Hitler's empire into cash that the Nazis used to buy war materiel.

Atlantis
First mentioned in the writings of Plato, this fabled and doomed city is the source of a story almost as old as history itself. Thousands of years later, Olly reveals new evidence that could explain the mystery of what really happened to this famous victim of Earth's violent nature and encourages us to remember Atlantis as a very real case study of how fate deals with human folly.

Lost City of Gold
In his quest to track down the truth behind the legend of El Dorado, Olly discovers that there may well be wonders waiting to be found. Vast areas of the Andes and Amazon remain unexplored and our incomplete knowledge of the vast extent of the ancient Inca empire means that the door must remain open.

Nazca Lines
Although fertile imaginations often favored divine or alien origins, these magnificent creations may be a plea for the simplest of gifts. In any case, as Olly reflects, "in this age of space exploration and high-speed communication, we still can't be sure about the meaning of the biggest billboard in the world – the largest act of creative expression in the history of mankind."

Ark of the Covenant
As Olly found out first hand on his travels from Jerusalem to Ethiopia, it's always a stimulating challenge bridging faith and facts. He couldn't help wondering, "as we continue to push out the frontiers of our knowledge to the point when we’re even trying to replicate the conditions of the Big Bang, why do the majority continue to want and need to believe in something mysterious?
