The Lost Gods was originally a five-part series that aired on Canadian and Irish television in 2005, hosted by Christy Kenneally. All five episodes are included here, and it's an intelligent and fascinating series. It discusses the religious history of five civilizations: the Egyptians, the Greeks, the Romans, the Incas, and the Celts. It doesn't actually explain what the gods they believed in were so much as explain how religion interacted with their political and social culture. So, for instance, rather than recite what gods the Greeks believed in, Kenneally explores how the corrupt priests at Delphi used the oracles to extract tribute from politicians to tell them what they wanted to. Similarly, the worship of Osiris democratized Egypt by letting commoners into the afterlife, previously the province only of royalty. The episode on the Incas is the best, profiling a society that was as complex and powerful as any of the more celebrated Greek or Roman ones, but is too often ignored or glossed over. Though it might have been a bit more useful to get a detailed description of these societies' religion, the episodes do have some intriguing historical revelations and plenty of beautiful and detailed cinematography of archaeological sites, so it's hard to quibble much. Besides, much of that information is already available in so many sources.
