This title is exclusive to the Discovery Channel Store.Unsolved History is history the way it was! Through detailed examination of archaeological and forensic evidence existing photographs authentic artifacts and carefully selected interviews from eyewitnesses and experts events are reconstructed and historical questions are finally answered.Join the Unsolved History team as they investigate their most brutal and shocking case yet. Five hundred years ago the Aztec people comprised the most powerful civilization in the Americas a power exemplified by Templo Mayor a 12-story pyramid where dutiful Aztecs worshipped their gods. It's also where the world's largest mass sacrifice reportedly took place. In a temple dedication in 1487 records tell of 20 000 people sacrificed over a 4-day period. But could such a large-scale human sacrifice have been logistically possible? Travel to Mexico City where Unsolved History's experts aim to learn the truth. First a team of computer modelers rebuilds Templo Mayor in staggering detail. Using state of the art computer graphics animators bring the glory of the Aztecs back to life brick-by-brick and provide the virtual setting for a modern-day recreation of the sacrifice. Then Australia's Anatomical Surrogate Technologies builds a collection of artificial human torsos to exact specifications to simulate the sacrifice. The simple arithmetic behind sacrificing 20 000 humans over just 4 days is nothing less than astonishing literally hundreds of sacrifices had to be performed at each altar daily. Learn about the character and social position of the victims and discover what kind of person it took to man the sacrificial altars for hours on end. Expert testimony from surgeon Brendon Coventry wraps things up as he walks through the various intricacies of Aztec ritual and explains how long it took to perform a typical sacrifice.

September 1 1983 – a Korean Airlines 747 carrying 269 people is shot down while flying through Soviet airspace. Everyone on board is killed including 61 Americans. Twenty-three casualties were children under the age of twelve. The Soviets claim the plane was on a spy mission and that their actions were justified. The United States insists that Russia fired without provocation.Join the Unsolved History team as they launch a new investigation into this tragedy using technology and forensic science not available 20 years ago. Through careful re-examination of existing photographic oceanographic and electronic records experts set out to determine whether the KAL-007 disaster was simply a case of mistaken identity on the part of the Russian anti-aircraft – and whether flaws in the jet's navigational gear caused it to veer into unauthorized airspace. Plus investigators look into the most puzzling aspect of all: Why was so little of the wreckage including the remains of the passengers never found?
