(Decoding Historys Prophecies: Season 1: Liu Bowen, Caesars Soothsayer, Alloa Tower) Historie Revelations, fortunes and harbingers of doom … human history is scattered with mysterious people rumored to have supernatural insight into the future. Have forces beyond our understanding endowed these extraordinary individuals with the gift of prophecy, or is there a rational explanation for these visions? This riveting documentary series blends dramatic reenactments, sweeping footage, and interviews with a panel of experts to present three captivating stories per episode. From ancient China to medieval Europe and modern-day West Virginia, some cases turn out to be elaborate deceptions, others remain eerily unexplained, and all reveal a perpetual human desire to see beyond the veil of time — with reverberating effects on history. Amid civil war in 14th century Mongol-controlled China, scholar and strategist Liu Bowen lends his talents to a dynasty on the rise. But his name is also remembered for a more mysterious talent: fortune-telling with what some say is frightening precision. A series of cryptic prophecies earns him the moniker of China’s “Nostradamus.” In Ancient Rome, Julius Caesar receives a warning that his life is in danger. The prophecy, uttered by an Etruscan soothsayer, is divined through the strange art of haruspicy. Caesar ignores the omen at his own peril. Amongst the hills of the Scottish Lowlands, the influential Erskine family becomes haunted by a mysterious prophecy, presaging and inflicting countless moments of tragedy and heartbreak. (Canada)
