This presentation from the Reader's Digest Association recounts over a dozen momentous events that helped shape world history.

Also included are a climb up Mount Everest, the Battle of Gettysburg, the mystery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the lost ark of Jerusalem, the D-Day invasion, the building of the Panama Canal, the attack at Pearl Harbor, the construction of the Taj Mahal, and the final days of the Romanovs in Russia. ~ Sarah Block, All Movie Guide
