Faith and Power

This episode deals with a mysterious mass death of children in ancient Athens, the Great Fire of Rome and the fanatical destruction of Egyptian temples by Pharaoh Akhenaton. With the help of modern forensics and experimental archaeology, "Crime Scene: Antiquity" identifies the perpetrators. Is Athens the crime of cruel child murderers? Was Emperor Nero involved in the Great Fire of Rome? And was the desecration of Egyptian sanctuaries only the expression of Akhenaten's madness?
