Summary
Inside the Bardo Museum, Tunisia, we discover the Carthaginian, Roman, Arab and Berber influences on Tunisia. We expose Hollywood myths about Roman Gladiators, then find out if historical reports of child sacrifice are myths as well. We fire Roman catapults to test their killing power, then meet a camel whisperer to discover how he convinces camels to take him where he wants to go. We climb a mountain to survey Roman era waterworks, then meet a Star Wars super-fan as he discovers the connection between his favorite sci-fi franchise and the culture of a desert land.
