5、ar or any of the major events that have defined the past 100 years. Discovery Channels hit weekly series “Unsolved History“ has set out to do the next best thing. Using the most advanced investigation tools modem technology has to offer, the “Unsolved History“ researchers attempt to reconstruct a fa
6、mous event by piecing together any hard evidence that remains. Instead of relying on what the history books say alone, the investigators take a fresh look at the available facts. The basic idea is to approach these historical mysteries in the same way criminal investigators approach modern ones. By
7、looking at each historical event as a crime scene, the shows researchers can scientifically devise the most likely scenario for the historical event in question. So far, their conclusions have been both surprising and enlightening. What does it take to do all this? It turns out you need a large staf
8、f of historians, scientists and investigators, and a lot of sophisticated equipments. Just as in a real criminal case, investigators bring hard evidence and human intuition together to come up with the most likely explanation of what actual happened. The result is an interesting, highly unique show.
9、 Its part history, part detective story and part technological showcase. The Premise “Unsolved History“ revolves around interesting stories from history that have an element of mystery about them. The producers first challenge for every episode is to come up with a suitable subject. They are general
10、ly drawn to three types of episode subjects: topics with a certain amount of controversy surrounding them, topics that are misunderstood by the general public, and topics with big lingering questions. In the first episode, for example, the producers investigate “Picketts Charge,“ a fairly controvers
11、ial event, at least among Civil War buffs. Was Confederate Major General George E. Picketts infamous attack in the Battle of Gettysburg a desperate, last-gasp failure from the out-manned Confederates, or was it a valiant(英勇的 ), heroic last stand,as the Southern army claimed? The “Unsolved History“ c
12、rew concludes that neither version is accurate. In another controversy-driven episode, the researchers attempt to separate folk mythology from fact in reconstructing what actually happened in the battle of the Alamo. In a later episode, the research crew gets to the bottom of a widely misunderstood
13、subject, the Boston Massacre. The common view among most Americans is that British soldiers fired upon a crowd of innocent civilian colonists, in an act of inexcusable oppression. The evidence, according to the“ Unsolved History“ crew, paints a very different picturethey assert that the British sold
14、iers, backed into a corner by an angry mob, fired in self defense. In another episode, the crew investigates a different kind of “police incident“, the famous shoot-out at the O.K. Corral. In the popular old west mythology, four lawmen, led by Wyatt Earl? And gunslinger Doc Holliday, valiantly prote
15、cted the town of Tombstone from a gang of villainous outlaws. The Unsolved History crew approaches the event just as they would a police shooting today, using modern forensic(法医的 ) tools to determine if it was “clean“ police work or an abuse of power. Just as with the Boston Massacre, the investigat
16、ors conclude that this was not a prudent use of police power. The “lingering question“ topics include an investigation into the last months of Adolph Hitlers life, with a re construction of his infamous underground bunker, and an analysis of the destruction of the USS Maine. The re searchers have al
17、so explored the life and death of the Red Baron, the infamous World War I fighter pilot, pieced together the most likely scenario for “Custers Last Stand“, and explored some famous mysteries associated with the White House. Another “lingering question“ episode takes a fresh look at one of the most i
18、mportant events in recent history: the assassination of President Kennedy in Desley Plaza, Dallas, on November 22, 1963. In this episode, the crew uses cutting edge computer technology to examine twelve amateur films of the assassination, revealing four different perspectives of the fatal shot. Some
19、 of this footage has never before been seen on national television. The crew also re visits Abraham Zapruders famous 8mm film of the shooting, examining a breathtaking new transfer recently completed by the National Archive. By cross-referencing this photographic record with eyewitness accounts, Uns
20、olved History investigators rule out some prominent conspiracy(阴谋 ) theories related to the assassination. The shows host, Pearl Harbor historian Daniel Martinez, walks the audience through the investigation process. Martinez holds a degree in history from California State University, and has worked
21、 as a ranger at various parks a round the country. He has served as an adjunct professor at Hawaii Pacific University, and as a technical consultant for documentaries and the Michael Bay film“ Pearl Harbor.“ His most important job is to be the face and personality of the show, but he is also one of
22、the lead research historians for the series. On the Case Once the producers arrive at a suitable subject for each episode, they consult history experts to get a full under standing of the relevant facts and theories. Then they put together a list of lingering questions and, given the available evide
23、nce, figure out how to arrive at potential answers. The show is largely driven by high-tech investigation tools. To piece together the true story of the Boston Massacre, for example, the researchers figured out the exact dimensions of the old State House at the scene of the event with the aid of las
24、er measuring devices. By matching this data with a 1770 diagram by Paul Revere, they were able to put together a model of the massacre,including the positions of the soldiers and four of the five victims. A high-powered laser system also figures prominently in the Red Baron episode. The researchers
