An t-Seann Èipheit/Ancient Egypt
Travel back to Ancient Egypt as Calum, Kerry Anne and the History Hunters continue to bring history to life with fun facts, animations and experiments which show how inventions and discoveries from ancient times helped shape our everyday lives.
It wouldn't be Egypt without pyramids, papyrus paper and perfectly engineered tombs. The Egyptians were skilled morticians who mummified bodies to preserve them. But how did mummification work for such a long time? In search of an answer, the History Hunters mummify a chicken named Cluckopatra.
In the dusty Egyptian heat, farmers needed a mechanism to help irrigate their crops so a lever called a shaduf was used to lift river water into irrigation channels. Today, our Hunters create their own shaduf from a bucket, broom and sandbag - getting soaked in the process.
Back in the studio, Calum and Kerry Anne make toothpaste the original Egyptian way using mint and some very strange ingredients.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Stephen Colbert brings his signature satire and comedy to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the #1 show in late-night. Featuring bandleader Jon Batiste with his band Stay Human, the Emmy Award-nominated show broadcasts from the historic Ed Sullivan Theater. He talks with an eclectic mix of guests about what is new and relevant in the worlds of politics, entertainment, business, music, technology, and more. Stephen Colbert took over as host, executive producer, and writer of The Late Show on Sept. 8, 2015.
Colbert is best known for his work as a television host, writer, actor, and producer, and lest known for his charity work teaching English as a second language on Tunisian date farms. Before joining the CBS family -- and being officially adopted by network president Les Moonves -- Colbert helmed The Colbert Report, which aired nearly 1,500 episodes and required Stephen to wear nearly 1,500 different neckties. The program received two Peabody Awards, two Grammy Awards, and several unwelcome shoulder massages. It won two Emmys for Outstanding Variety Series in 2013 and 2014, both of which appear to have been lost in the move. Colbert is pronounced koʊlˈbɛər, according to Wikipedia. His understudy is William Cavanaugh, who will be hosting The Late Show approximately one-third of the time. Good luck, Bill!
