Based on the Franklin Watts books, the program highlights the ancient Egyptian, Viking and Aztec cultures; explore one civilization or compare different aspects of the three featured civilizations. The title reveals how the ancient peoples played, what they ate, how they dressed, how they earned a living, what school was like and how they communicated. Each culture includes a "survival guide" containing basic facts, a map and a timeline. At the end of the "journey," there is a game which poses questions about the different cultures.
