THE HISTORY CHANNEL HØYDEPUNKTER - NOVEMBER 2024
THE GREAT WAR
Sundays from 10 November at 21:00
The Great War is a cinematic documentary covering America’s involvement in World War I during the critical year of 1918. After years of horrific battle, the Allies are on the verge of collapse; and Germany the cusp of victory. The United States is forced to rapidly train, arm, and ship millions of young soldiers overseas to Europe for the first time.
The series follows General John J. Pershing, leader of the American Expeditionary Force, who is charged with training and deploying an army almost from scratch; Michael B. Ellis, a young man fighting with the Army’s soon to be legendary Big Red One; and Horace Pippin and Henry Johnson, brave African American soldiers whose courage in battle helped their regiment be christened the Harlem Hellfighters. (2x120)
HOLY MARVELS
Sundays from 24 November at 21:00
Holy Marvels illuminates the remarkable history, perplexing mysteries, and legendary journeys behind some of the world’s most sacred and holy relics. The series shares incredible tales of faith, devotion, and divine intervention tied to coveted objects such as the Ark of the Covenant, Noah’s Ark, the Holy Grail, the Fountain of Youth, the Mayan Calendar, the Philosopher’s Stone and the Crown of Thorns.
Hosted, narrated, and executive produced by the Emmy® Award-nominated and two-time Golden Globe®- nominated superstar Dennis Quaid (pictured), each episode combines immersive storytelling with recreations, archive footage, and expert interviews to delve deep into the enigmatic origins and profound power behind each artefact. (8x60)
THE PROOF IS OUT THERE
Thursdays from 21 November at 21:00
The Proof Is Out There is the series that analyses the most mysterious videos, films, photos, and audio recordings from history - UFOs, cryptids, strange natural history phenomena, and more.
Host and veteran journalist Tony Harris takes nothing for granted in a quest for answers, tracking down eyewitnesses, putting each photo or film through a battery of tests, calling out the hoaxes, and highlighting the most credible evidence in an attempt to better understand our world.
Is that triangle-shaped UFO real? Does it move like known airplanes from history, including top secret Stealth bombers (in a side-by-side analysis)? When the famous Patterson Bigfoot footage (1967) is blown up and run through special filters, can we see details that prove or disprove whether it’s a real animal? Each mystery ends with a verdict: Best guess, what is it? (8x60)
HISTORY2
DOOMSDAY: 10 WAYS THE WORLD WILL END
Thursdays from 7 November at 21:00
Doomsday: 10 Ways The World Will End looks at apocalyptic disasters so cataclysmic that if they happened today, they could extinguish the human race.
Each episode opens with strange and frightening phenomena erupting across the globe: glass rains from the sky, a hole appears in the atmosphere, gravity becomes distorted, global communications break down, mass illness descends. We come to discover that these are the effects of catastrophic events that new research reveals could hit planet earth: a rogue planet collision, a gamma ray burst, methane seabed eruption, nuclear war.
Through incredible CGI, the series rewinds to the beginning of the disaster to reveal what is happening. As the events play out, backed by true science, each episode will investigate how mankind could prepare for the impending doom or if this is the beginning of the end. (10x60)

Right beneath our feet, there are cities hidden by time that may hold clues that could rewrite history. In Cities of the Underworld, Don Wildman travels to the farthest and deepest reaches of the globe, using cutting-edge technology to explore mysteries buried deep underground.
