Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated: 1 00:02:08,660 --> 00:02:13,460 This is Lowell Thomas inviting you to come on another synorama adventure. 2 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,400 An epic journey such as no man ever made. 3 00:02:18,220 --> 00:02:21,880 We are going on a flight around the world in our synorama clipper. 4 00:02:22,700 --> 00:02:27,400 An air voyage to five continents in search of the wonders of the world. 5 00:02:28,310 --> 00:02:32,447 The inspiration behind the idea for this aerial voyage goes 6 00:02:32,448 --> 00:02:36,080 back to the days when here in my own home in this same room. 7 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:41,440 I first introduced to you that new revolutionary medium of entertainment. 8 00:02:42,420 --> 00:02:43,840 Remember what I said? 9 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,980 Ladies and gentlemen, this is synorama. 10 00:02:49,020 --> 00:02:52,220 And we went on that dizzy thrilling roller coaster ride. 11 00:02:53,220 --> 00:02:56,300 Actually, it goes back even farther than that. 12 00:02:56,820 --> 00:02:59,240 A friend of mine and in better Fred Waller for 14 13 00:02:59,241 --> 00:03:02,760 years had been working on his new synorama process. 14 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,460 Hazard Reeves had just added revolutionary stereophonic sound. 15 00:03:08,140 --> 00:03:10,020 Synorama was still in the laboratory. 16 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,300 Nearly all the heads of the motion picture industry saw the tests and marveled. 17 00:03:15,301 --> 00:03:20,381 But they went away saying it was too complicated, too cumbersome, too expensive. 18 00:03:20,860 --> 00:03:25,380 But to me it seemed as though Waller and Reeves had performed a miracle. 19 00:03:26,460 --> 00:03:28,500 It seemed to me they had something that was perfect. 20 00:03:28,860 --> 00:03:31,754 For the sort of thing I have been doing, ever since I was 21 00:03:31,755 --> 00:03:34,320 with Allenby when he was driving the Turks from Palestine. 22 00:03:35,020 --> 00:03:41,141 And when I was with that most colorful adventurer of our time, Lawrence of Arabia. 23 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,980 I don't recall whether it was Lawrence who suggested it or whether I did. 24 00:03:46,620 --> 00:03:50,260 But we talked about the ancient list of the seven wonders of the world. 25 00:03:50,660 --> 00:03:51,840 He was an archaeologist. 26 00:03:52,470 --> 00:03:55,920 And we discussed the idea of bringing that ancient list up to date. 27 00:03:56,700 --> 00:04:00,640 And then not long after the first world war, I was lucky enough to be the historian. 28 00:04:00,641 --> 00:04:03,140 A man of man's first flight around the world. 29 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,900 The flight was made in a specially designed, Douglas world cruiser. 30 00:04:07,250 --> 00:04:08,250 This is a model. 31 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,700 The first circumnavigation of the globe by air. 32 00:04:12,300 --> 00:04:14,180 A milestone in the history of man. 33 00:04:14,780 --> 00:04:18,036 Bringing fame as enduring as the pyramids, I think, to 34 00:04:18,037 --> 00:04:21,340 these brilliant airmen standing on either side of me. 35 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,660 My candidate for the world's number one flyer. 36 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,160 Near the end of World War II, I chased General Jimmy 37 00:04:28,210 --> 00:04:30,620 Doolittle around the globe and failed to catch him. 38 00:04:31,070 --> 00:04:33,880 flying part of the time with General Hap Arnold chief of the U.S. 39 00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:35,100 Air Force. 40 00:04:35,300 --> 00:04:38,540 And a few years ago, my son and I flew around again. 41 00:04:38,940 --> 00:04:41,560 That was when we crossed the Himalayas to enter Tibet. 42 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,459 And when we got to loss of the Rio Shangri -Law, 43 00:04:44,460 --> 00:04:47,381 we saw the portal of the palace of the Delilama. 44 00:04:47,700 --> 00:04:50,660 Rising from the valley floor to its golden domes. 45 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,160 Two-thirds as tall as the Empire State Building. 46 00:04:53,780 --> 00:04:57,240 What a marvelous thing it would have been if we could have had sinner armor in 47 00:04:57,390 --> 00:04:58,140 lossa. 48 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,789 But by the time we got home and discovered 49 00:05:00,790 --> 00:05:04,601 some armor, the red tide had rolled over Tibet. 50 00:05:05,420 --> 00:05:09,120 During all the years that I had been spanning the oceans and flying around and 51 00:05:09,121 --> 00:05:14,880 around the world, I more and more came to feel that the time had come when at last 52 00:05:14,881 --> 00:05:18,640 we should bring that ancient list of the seven wonders of the world up to date. 53 00:05:19,380 --> 00:05:21,720 General Marion Cooper and I had produced the first one. 54 00:05:21,900 --> 00:05:25,720 This is sinner armor, which broke all entertainment records. 55 00:05:26,380 --> 00:05:30,200 So when I presented my seven wonders idea to our Stanley Warner sinner hammer 56 00:05:30,201 --> 00:05:35,020 colleagues, they said, go ahead, lo, let your dream come true. 57 00:05:35,430 --> 00:05:39,240 And that's the story of how and why we are now setting forth on this odyssey. 58 00:05:40,140 --> 00:05:43,360 But before we leave, may I point out something that you already know? 59 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:49,160 When the Greeks formulated their original seven wonders list, the world they knew 60 00:05:49,310 --> 00:05:51,200 was centered here in the eastern Mediterranean. 61 00:05:52,140 --> 00:05:55,260 From this small area, western civilization spread. 62 00:05:55,540 --> 00:05:58,320 But man now is familiar with the entire planet. 63 00:05:59,220 --> 00:06:01,620 Do you remember what were the original seven wonders? 64 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:03,940 I had to look them up, too. 65 00:06:04,860 --> 00:06:07,640 There is one that you do remember the Colossus of Rhodes. 66 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:12,181 We are told that it stood astrayed the harbor at Rhodes in the eastern Mediterranean. 67 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:16,320 And that it was so tall, ships could sail between its legs. 68 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,520 Another was a gorgeous temple to the goddess Diana. 69 00:06:20,300 --> 00:06:21,840 The Greeks called her Artemis. 70 00:06:22,580 --> 00:06:26,520 It was in the ancient city of Ephesus, where Saint Paul preached. 71 00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:31,100 Not far from Ephesus in Asia Minor was the city of Malek Kernassus. 72 00:06:31,300 --> 00:06:35,880 When his ruler, King Massolus died, his queen built him a tomb. 73 00:06:36,380 --> 00:06:38,920 The tomb of Massolus at Halek Kernassus. 74 00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:42,080 From which we get our word, Massolium. 75 00:06:42,450 --> 00:06:47,780 The Greeks had an important shrine at the site of the original Olympic games. 76 00:06:48,220 --> 00:06:51,920 In it was a statue of Zeus, Jupiter to the Romans. 77 00:06:52,740 --> 00:06:55,479 A masterpiece of ivory and gold created by 78 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,321 fittius, foremost sculptor of ancient times. 79 00:06:59,725 --> 00:07:03,180 In the story of Julius Caesar, you may recall reading about a great 80 00:07:03,181 --> 00:07:06,560 lighthouse at the mouth of the Nile near the city of Alexandria. 81 00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:09,440 It was called the Pharaohs. 82 00:07:09,675 --> 00:07:16,540 And we are told that it stood there for 1 ,500 years until finally destroyed by an 83 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,860 earthquake in the 14th century. 84 00:07:19,580 --> 00:07:25,360 And then the sixth of which we have heard so often, and still constantly referred to. 85 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,640 The hanging gardens of Babylon. 86 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:29,720 They are on the right. 87 00:07:30,860 --> 00:07:36,300 Legend tells us that King Nebuchadnezzar erected the hanging gardens for his queen. 88 00:07:36,900 --> 00:07:38,640 And she was a princess from the mountains. 89 00:07:39,380 --> 00:07:41,260 And she pined for her mountains. 90 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,877 And this was Nebuchadnezzar's attempt to provide a 91 00:07:44,878 --> 00:07:48,380 substitute for her here on the flat desert of Mesopotamia. 92 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,520 The spiral tower that you see across the river Euphrates. 93 00:07:53,780 --> 00:07:57,620 Our artist has included the tower of Babel, along with the hanging garden. 94 00:07:58,940 --> 00:08:01,960 All six of these have two things in common. 95 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:07,120 They were all man-made, and they have all long since disappeared. 96 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,780 Only one of the ancient seven wonders remains. 97 00:08:12,260 --> 00:08:14,999 High-speed modern transportation makes it possible for 98 00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,520 man now to go to any place on the planet in a hurry. 99 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,780 And Cinorama gives us the feeling that we are actually there. 100 00:08:22,330 --> 00:08:25,441 And that is why I am now inviting you to join me in 101 00:08:25,442 --> 00:08:29,800 bringing the ancient seven wonders list up to date. 102 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:34,012 With this difference, we not only are going to include 103 00:08:34,013 --> 00:08:39,000 spectacular man-made wonders, but also the wonders of nature. 104 00:08:40,020 --> 00:08:45,540 And before we set forth on this odyssey, let's put on seven league boots and pay 105 00:08:45,541 --> 00:08:49,140 our respects to the only one of the ancient seven that remains. 106 00:08:49,980 --> 00:08:54,220 See that remaining ancient wonder through the magic of Cinorama. 107 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,823 The Greeks of antiquity rated the pyramids of Egypt 108 00:09:39,824 --> 00:09:43,560 as the greatest and the oldest of the seven wonders. 109 00:09:51,340 --> 00:09:56,700 Shall we still include the pyramids as one of the seven wonders of the world? 110 00:10:07,260 --> 00:10:11,470 Here they are, almost unchanged in five thousand years. 111 00:10:12,070 --> 00:10:14,322 And from the way they look, they'll be here for 112 00:10:14,323 --> 00:10:17,111 thousands of years after you and I are gone. 113 00:10:21,610 --> 00:10:24,750 Ah, but our point of departure is not the Pyramids. 114 00:10:25,550 --> 00:10:30,930 Setting forth on our search, we fly away from New York on a modern magic cart, 115 00:10:31,350 --> 00:10:34,370 taking off from the towering metropolis of the modern world. 116 00:10:37,485 --> 00:10:41,279 Off we go for a whirl around the globe, on our 117 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,940 way to see what strange marvels we'll find. 118 00:10:45,460 --> 00:10:48,780 Man-made wonders and wonders of nature. 119 00:10:53,800 --> 00:11:00,000 Man-happen on the right, some small islands here in the river, in on our left, 120 00:11:00,220 --> 00:11:03,131 Long Island and Brooklyn, four great bridges 121 00:11:03,132 --> 00:11:06,641 spanning this eastern half of the Hudson. 122 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,020 Let's give these bridges a special farewell salute. 123 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,320 Flying over Queensborough Bridge. 124 00:11:20,820 --> 00:11:23,720 Oh, under it. 125 00:11:25,890 --> 00:11:32,550 Past the United Nations Bill, while we seek world wonders, they seek world peace. 126 00:11:32,970 --> 00:11:35,290 Surely the greatest wonder of all. 127 00:11:43,620 --> 00:11:45,240 Now three more operations. 128 00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,540 This one, the Williamsburg. 129 00:11:48,140 --> 00:11:49,140 Over? 130 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,200 No, under again. 131 00:12:05,430 --> 00:12:07,420 The one they call the Manhattan. 132 00:12:12,010 --> 00:12:15,050 The one they are always selling to somebody. 133 00:12:15,510 --> 00:12:16,510 The Brooklyn Bridge. 134 00:12:17,965 --> 00:12:20,570 Oldest of them all. 135 00:12:32,340 --> 00:12:34,120 So long, fair lady. 136 00:12:34,740 --> 00:12:39,280 We won't be seeing you again until we have circled the world. 137 00:12:40,340 --> 00:12:42,420 Off we go, continent to continent. 138 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:44,440 Wonder hunting. 139 00:12:44,900 --> 00:12:48,800 First stop South America with its all devouring jungle. 140 00:12:49,700 --> 00:12:54,360 Of the wonders of nature, we have probably come upon one in the remote wilderness. 141 00:12:55,245 --> 00:12:58,540 Right in the heart of South America, near where the borders of Brazil, 142 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,680 Argentina and Paraguay meet. 143 00:13:01,340 --> 00:13:03,380 One of the greatest of waterfalls. 144 00:13:05,540 --> 00:13:08,944 A series of giant cascades with a combined rim 145 00:13:08,945 --> 00:13:12,420 twice as wide as Niagara and half again as high. 146 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:18,120 In fact, in the spring, the water flowing over is twice the volume of Niagara. 147 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:29,130 Would you put Igwazu on your list of the seven wonders in the modern world? 148 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,873 In the tropical wilderness of South America, we also 149 00:13:58,874 --> 00:14:01,720 come upon an unexpected wonder, a freak of nature. 150 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,640 A battle between the jungle and the sands. 151 00:14:05,660 --> 00:14:08,148 The sand used from the coast to Brazil, locked 152 00:14:08,149 --> 00:14:10,560 in a struggle with the equatorial forest. 153 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:17,060 An invasion of yellow thrust into the green hell with the sands winning. 154 00:14:26,310 --> 00:14:31,440 A few years ago, a roving American pilot named Jimmy Angel, flying over this 155 00:14:31,690 --> 00:14:37,160 immense wilderness as we are now, was startled to behold a lost world on 156 00:14:37,161 --> 00:14:41,740 young plateau with a whole series of waterfalls leaping toward the jungle. 157 00:14:42,140 --> 00:14:47,080 And these in Venezuela are the highest of all the waterfalls in the world. 158 00:14:47,380 --> 00:14:49,220 20 times as high as Niagara. 159 00:14:50,260 --> 00:14:51,960 Two-thirds of a mile high. 160 00:14:53,060 --> 00:14:55,920 Angel falls named for the barn storming adventure. 161 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,540 South America, continent of file and contrast. 162 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,000 Brazil, land of seemingly endless jungle. 163 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:11,540 And suddenly unfolding before us, the most spectacular city in the world. 164 00:15:12,060 --> 00:15:20,060 Rio, Rio 165 00:15:29,100 --> 00:15:31,860 de Janeiro, the river of January. 166 00:15:33,220 --> 00:15:35,140 But there's no river here. 167 00:15:35,460 --> 00:15:37,400 Nor is it January all year round. 168 00:15:38,340 --> 00:15:44,861 But it was January in 1502 when the Portuguese navigators first sighted this coast. 169 00:15:45,100 --> 00:15:47,652 As they sailed in, they thought, well surely 170 00:15:47,653 --> 00:15:50,000 there's a river flowing into this great harbor. 171 00:15:50,001 --> 00:15:53,680 So they called it Rio de Janeiro. 172 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,340 In the distance, Sugarloaf. 173 00:16:01,540 --> 00:16:04,500 Curiously shaped rock, landmark of Rio. 174 00:16:19,770 --> 00:16:22,830 Spreading on and on with its great suburbs. 175 00:16:23,930 --> 00:16:26,250 Each among the hills like a city in itself. 176 00:16:28,540 --> 00:16:31,770 Now the higher up you live, the lower your rent in Rio. 177 00:16:32,670 --> 00:16:35,410 Wealthy Brazilians prefer to be right down on the beach. 178 00:16:36,230 --> 00:16:37,690 The poor are the high livers. 179 00:16:38,090 --> 00:16:39,210 The rich, the lower. 180 00:16:40,190 --> 00:16:41,490 A Rio paradox. 181 00:16:49,710 --> 00:16:51,890 On our left up there, a Rio slum. 182 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:28,120 The oceanfronted Rio is a world renowned. 183 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,900 A mile after mile, the Avonita. 184 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,100 And have you heard of the unusual building restrictions at Rio? 185 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:10,080 You can't put up anything less than twelve stories. 186 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,740 Man -made cliffs along the ocean. 187 00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:16,960 Shall we include Rio as a wonder? 188 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,340 Or surely it is the wonder city of the world? 189 00:18:23,100 --> 00:18:29,621 We all know the jungle is wild, but wildest of all is carnival time at Rio. 190 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,440 Then for a complete change of mood. 191 00:18:38,060 --> 00:18:40,420 Flying through the clouds when we come upon Corcovado. 192 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,000 2,200 feet above the city. 193 00:18:43,580 --> 00:18:44,900 Crown with a wonder of sculpture. 194 00:18:45,620 --> 00:18:47,000 A hundred feet high. 195 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,220 The Christ with arms outstretched as if in blessing. 196 00:19:03,970 --> 00:19:06,790 Here we go again, continent to continent. 197 00:19:07,410 --> 00:19:09,290 South America to Asia this time. 198 00:19:09,890 --> 00:19:11,750 Over the greatest ocean of them all. 199 00:19:11,850 --> 00:19:13,110 Next up, Japan. 200 00:19:13,770 --> 00:19:14,770 Boy, oh boy. 201 00:19:15,190 --> 00:19:16,470 Then look in your eye, Pa. 202 00:19:16,610 --> 00:19:17,730 What are you thinking about? 203 00:19:18,090 --> 00:19:19,410 All those geisha girls. 204 00:19:20,090 --> 00:19:21,990 When most of us think about Japan. 205 00:19:22,530 --> 00:19:25,110 Well, we either think about cherry blossoms. 206 00:19:25,770 --> 00:19:27,290 Or that wonder mountain. 207 00:19:28,210 --> 00:19:29,210 Fojiyama. 208 00:19:40,300 --> 00:19:42,120 Or maybe the Kamakura Buddha. 209 00:19:42,710 --> 00:19:45,360 Would you put this giant sculpture on your list? 210 00:19:54,170 --> 00:19:56,110 Down on the Japanese farm. 211 00:19:57,570 --> 00:20:00,150 A countryside in pastel shades. 212 00:20:07,515 --> 00:20:09,070 The fish are carved. 213 00:20:09,670 --> 00:20:10,670 Bread for color. 214 00:20:11,030 --> 00:20:13,630 Some priced at $10,000 each. 215 00:20:14,310 --> 00:20:15,310 Poor fish? 216 00:20:16,110 --> 00:20:17,110 Well, hardly. 217 00:20:19,910 --> 00:20:23,830 Arriving at Tokyo Airport, our Pan -American, the Sinerama Clipper. 218 00:20:24,390 --> 00:20:28,250 Japan, of course, depends on the great sky roots across the vast Pacific. 219 00:20:28,630 --> 00:20:34,830 And Pan-American, itself a technological wonder, pioneered trans-Pacific aviation. 220 00:20:46,670 --> 00:20:49,030 Greetings to Honorable GIs. 221 00:20:51,130 --> 00:20:54,070 Honorable GIs are eager to see the sights of Japan. 222 00:21:08,660 --> 00:21:12,880 And everywhere the GIs go, the kittens are sure to go. 223 00:22:32,710 --> 00:22:38,080 In our search for the wonders of the world, shall we include feminine beauty? 224 00:22:39,300 --> 00:22:44,400 In a Japanese garden with music, as it's played in Japan today. 225 00:27:54,740 --> 00:27:59,320 The wonders of this far eastern land include many an ancient shrine, 226 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:04,600 many a traditional ceremony, a few of which visitors are invited to perform, 227 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,500 like the ceremony of the dawn. 228 00:28:30,110 --> 00:28:34,550 The ultra-modern rickshaw that the Kooli used to pull. 229 00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:54,160 In our tricycle rickshaw, we ride almost into the lobby of the Takarasa Cathedral, 230 00:28:54,900 --> 00:28:57,920 where we hear the way popular music is played in Japan nowadays. 231 00:28:58,620 --> 00:29:01,920 Note the decidedly western flame. 232 00:31:43,020 --> 00:31:47,800 Kokomo Kea-Kakan Kalamazoo, with the usual GIs souvenirs. 233 00:32:02,850 --> 00:32:05,230 And the girls they leave behind. 234 00:32:11,650 --> 00:32:15,470 So long, young, young, so long, could he see? 235 00:32:21,060 --> 00:32:23,400 Their search for the wonders of the world is all. 236 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:27,840 Goodbye, madam butterfly. 237 00:33:35,530 --> 00:33:39,990 As we fly over Southeast Asia, we look down upon a lost empire, 238 00:33:41,270 --> 00:33:42,610 Angkor Wat and Cambodia. 239 00:33:44,110 --> 00:33:49,150 A thousand years ago, a conquering people called the Khmerz, established a brilliant 240 00:33:49,151 --> 00:33:53,110 kingdom here, with a civilization that originated in India. 241 00:33:53,810 --> 00:33:56,450 After many centuries, the Khmerz were overthrown. 242 00:33:57,290 --> 00:34:00,164 And their shrines and their cities reverted to the 243 00:34:00,165 --> 00:34:04,210 jungle, to be resurrected in our own time, not long ago. 244 00:34:05,110 --> 00:34:07,150 And surely one of the wonders of the world. 245 00:34:28,450 --> 00:34:34,300 Buddhist monks at a shrine long forgotten, and only recently brought to light again. 246 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:29,660 Religious wonder city of India, on the Ganges, the Sacred River, 247 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:33,845 a pilgrimage city from time immemorial, with its 248 00:35:33,846 --> 00:35:37,001 famous gods, the landing places along the river. 249 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:42,008 For centuries, the great and the rich, Maharaja and merchant 250 00:35:42,009 --> 00:35:45,180 have built shrines and palaces here along the Ganges. 251 00:35:46,020 --> 00:35:53,880 Of temples alone, Benares has 1,500, a wonder city of strange religion. 252 00:35:59,200 --> 00:36:01,420 A temple dance, a cobra dance. 253 00:36:02,420 --> 00:36:05,220 The deadly hooded serpent has a weird significance. 254 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:11,360 Strange mysticism in this performance of the temple dancers and the cobra. 255 00:36:14,335 --> 00:36:20,281 She has come with her parents, and she turns out to be quite a remarkable mimic. 256 00:37:11,630 --> 00:37:16,170 Any of you married couples ever have a bridal procession like this? 257 00:37:36,930 --> 00:37:38,890 Have some gum and chum. 258 00:37:45,490 --> 00:37:52,070 India inherited much from the bridge, including London Bridge's falling down. 259 00:38:19,660 --> 00:38:21,160 American influence too. 260 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,680 And finally some Hindu music. 261 00:39:03,380 --> 00:39:04,920 Where is the bride? 262 00:39:05,540 --> 00:39:07,280 Oh, she stays at home. 263 00:39:07,860 --> 00:39:08,860 And the bridegroom? 264 00:39:09,780 --> 00:39:10,780 Ah, there he is. 265 00:39:14,590 --> 00:39:16,670 You've heard of the Benares monkey temple. 266 00:39:17,410 --> 00:39:18,410 This is it. 267 00:39:18,550 --> 00:39:20,850 Dedicated to one of the favorite Hindu divinities. 268 00:39:21,270 --> 00:39:22,750 The monkey god, Hanuman. 269 00:39:40,435 --> 00:39:44,390 Nearly all temples in India have their dancing girls trained from childhood, 270 00:39:45,370 --> 00:39:49,550 even here at the monkey temple. 271 00:40:06,790 --> 00:40:09,412 Motoring through Benares or through any Indian city 272 00:40:09,413 --> 00:40:12,450 is not to be recommended if you have a weak heart. 273 00:40:12,810 --> 00:40:14,510 Look out for the sacred cows. 274 00:40:15,990 --> 00:40:19,530 If you hit one, then you will have to go. 275 00:40:37,190 --> 00:40:41,510 For the age old feud of India between the Mandus and the Cobra. 276 00:40:43,110 --> 00:40:46,450 Now the Mandus is not immune from the lethal poison of the Cobra. 277 00:40:47,350 --> 00:40:49,670 So it depends on its incredible agility. 278 00:41:12,830 --> 00:41:14,190 Look, he's taking a bow. 279 00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:29,280 And the Mandus always wins. 280 00:41:38,390 --> 00:41:42,110 Arriving at the scene of an immortal story. 281 00:41:43,410 --> 00:41:46,890 Some 300 years ago, the Great Mogos ruled in India. 282 00:41:47,730 --> 00:41:49,870 One of them, the emperor Shah Jihan. 283 00:41:50,670 --> 00:41:53,030 And his greatest treasure was his favorite wife. 284 00:41:54,050 --> 00:41:55,050 Mung Shah's Mahal. 285 00:41:56,450 --> 00:41:58,150 She died when she was young. 286 00:41:59,330 --> 00:42:02,613 And he and his despair and grief determined to 287 00:42:02,614 --> 00:42:05,710 rare for her a tomb worthy of her grace and guilt. 288 00:42:06,990 --> 00:42:13,690 As all men know, he created a masterpiece of the Taj Mahal. 289 00:42:32,190 --> 00:42:36,030 Alas, Shah Jihan had to spend his declining years in prison. 290 00:42:36,870 --> 00:42:39,430 He was deposed by his own son. 291 00:42:40,670 --> 00:42:42,347 But there he could look out on the monument 292 00:42:42,348 --> 00:42:44,950 that he had erected to the woman he loved. 293 00:42:44,951 --> 00:42:47,470 Look, and dream. 294 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:58,280 And so we have what many today consider the loveliest wonder of the world. 295 00:42:58,740 --> 00:43:00,480 The Taj Mahal. 296 00:43:14,230 --> 00:43:17,650 Right ahead of his style, the Himalayas, highest mountains in the world. 297 00:43:17,950 --> 00:43:20,150 Next up, Darjeeling and a cup of tea. 298 00:43:23,890 --> 00:43:29,391 In our search for world wonders, let's visit India's most famous mountain resort. 299 00:43:29,770 --> 00:43:31,970 Darjeeling high in the Himalayas. 300 00:43:32,770 --> 00:43:35,030 Fame, too, for that Darjeeling tea. 301 00:43:36,070 --> 00:43:38,430 To carry freight and passengers up the Himalayan 302 00:43:38,431 --> 00:43:41,670 slopes, well, that would seem to be a task for a giant. 303 00:43:43,590 --> 00:43:44,770 Here's our giant. 304 00:43:46,030 --> 00:43:50,070 At the curseyong station, down near the plains. 305 00:43:52,310 --> 00:43:53,470 Don't be dead. 306 00:43:53,970 --> 00:43:55,290 He thinks he's in a wagon league. 307 00:44:03,450 --> 00:44:05,690 The meat moan joe. 308 00:44:05,750 --> 00:44:08,530 They sand the track to keep the wheels from slippings. 309 00:44:13,230 --> 00:44:16,810 We're off on the steep climb to Darjeeling. 310 00:44:48,890 --> 00:44:51,790 Earnest the engine, puffing and puffing. 311 00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:00,854 To get up these steep Himalayan slopes, they 312 00:45:00,855 --> 00:45:05,160 continually have to pour sand on the rails like that. 313 00:45:27,895 --> 00:45:30,960 The Darjeeling run is one of the toughest that railrotors know. 314 00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:32,760 Up enormous mountains. 315 00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:36,160 Mountains that are themselves a world wonder. 316 00:46:26,530 --> 00:46:29,142 Would you select our Darjeeling train as one of 317 00:46:29,143 --> 00:46:31,390 the technological wonders of the modern world? 318 00:46:31,410 --> 00:46:33,330 The world of railroading? 319 00:46:57,370 --> 00:46:59,210 Something blocking the track. 320 00:46:59,710 --> 00:47:00,730 What is it? 321 00:47:00,750 --> 00:47:02,010 Surely it can't be. 322 00:47:03,070 --> 00:47:05,610 Yes, it's an elephant, snoozy. 323 00:47:39,390 --> 00:47:40,670 Shoo, shoo. 324 00:47:42,010 --> 00:47:43,170 It'd be their wild elephants. 325 00:47:43,770 --> 00:47:44,770 It'd be their dangerous. 326 00:47:47,030 --> 00:47:49,710 Let's call a big game hunter with a high powered rifle. 327 00:47:50,770 --> 00:47:53,390 Ah, here he comes. 328 00:47:54,570 --> 00:47:56,690 Sabu the elephant board. 329 00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:17,310 Hey, what's up? 330 00:48:17,550 --> 00:48:18,770 Guess the brakes have gone. 331 00:48:29,270 --> 00:48:32,050 That's happened before, but never quite like this. 332 00:48:33,150 --> 00:48:34,150 Can they hit it all? 333 00:51:38,690 --> 00:51:42,450 Seems surprised at the train that runs backwards. 334 00:51:48,460 --> 00:51:50,280 Right back where they start. 335 00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:52,620 But don't redend us, though. 336 00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:11,880 Thank you. 337 00:52:11,881 --> 00:52:12,620 Thank you. 338 00:52:12,621 --> 00:52:13,800 Fine run. 339 00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:23,660 You're on our way to trace the wonder story of the world. 340 00:52:24,350 --> 00:52:29,460 As told in the book, that has influenced mankind more than any other. 341 00:52:30,080 --> 00:52:31,080 The Bible. 342 00:52:31,880 --> 00:52:33,520 Continent hopping again. 343 00:52:34,140 --> 00:52:35,280 This time to Egypt. 344 00:52:36,140 --> 00:52:37,940 With Cairo it's modern cattle. 345 00:52:38,860 --> 00:52:41,300 Where imagination takes us back to the pharaohs. 346 00:52:42,340 --> 00:52:45,400 And to the epic story told in the book of accidents. 347 00:52:46,540 --> 00:52:49,720 The god Abno will be run over by a camel. 348 00:52:54,660 --> 00:52:56,480 The Nile of ancient renown. 349 00:52:57,080 --> 00:53:01,580 Near the banks of which the children of Israel were kept so long in bondage. 350 00:53:08,850 --> 00:53:12,215 In the flight of the Israelites from Egypt, their 351 00:53:12,216 --> 00:53:15,870 way was right across what we call the ismasa suez. 352 00:53:17,310 --> 00:53:22,750 Where today we see the suez canal, another technological wonder. 353 00:53:32,470 --> 00:53:35,066 In Exodus we read how Moses again and again 354 00:53:35,067 --> 00:53:38,531 repeated the pharaoh, the command of the Lord. 355 00:53:38,950 --> 00:53:42,510 Pharaoh, let my people go. 356 00:53:55,310 --> 00:54:02,471 The arms suez, just outside Egypt, we approach the mountain of the Ten Commands. 357 00:54:03,070 --> 00:54:04,070 Mount Sinai. 358 00:54:04,830 --> 00:54:05,830 There. 359 00:54:06,090 --> 00:54:08,010 The mountain of which the Bible says. 360 00:54:08,970 --> 00:54:12,970 And the Lord came down upon Mount Sinai on the top of the mountain. 361 00:54:13,550 --> 00:54:16,250 And the Lord called Moses up to the top of the mountain. 362 00:54:17,380 --> 00:54:19,990 And the Ten Commandments were given. 363 00:54:28,420 --> 00:54:32,227 On the Lord's slope of Mount Sinai, an ancient monastery 364 00:54:32,228 --> 00:54:35,060 commemorating Moses and the tablets of the Lord. 365 00:54:35,420 --> 00:54:38,140 For forty years Moses led the children of Israel 366 00:54:38,141 --> 00:54:41,001 through the mountain desolation of the Sinai Peninsula. 367 00:54:42,210 --> 00:54:45,300 Yes, this is the wilderness. 368 00:54:46,980 --> 00:54:50,300 We read that Aaron, brother of Moses, was buried on Mount home. 369 00:54:50,301 --> 00:54:53,800 That summer, just below us, with the white shrine. 370 00:54:57,610 --> 00:55:00,970 The Israelites carried long at the southern end of the dead sea. 371 00:55:01,730 --> 00:55:06,450 The lowest spot on earth, in itself a strange wonder of nature of the dead sea. 372 00:55:06,890 --> 00:55:09,050 More than a thousand feet below the sea level. 373 00:55:09,850 --> 00:55:12,330 And then they journeyed on to the promised land. 374 00:55:17,290 --> 00:55:22,050 Legend says that there in the heart of Hebron were buried Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. 375 00:55:22,051 --> 00:55:25,270 Together with their wives, Sarah, Rebekah and Lea. 376 00:55:29,160 --> 00:55:33,848 The cave of Macpiva with the sacred tomb is beneath 377 00:55:33,849 --> 00:55:36,821 that building, inside the rectangular enclosure. 378 00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:44,380 On to the northern end of the dead sea, to Jericho, where the walls fell down. 379 00:55:45,240 --> 00:55:50,460 Remember how in the book of Joshua we read, and it came to pass when the people 380 00:55:50,660 --> 00:55:51,940 heard the sound of the trumpet. 381 00:55:52,340 --> 00:55:58,080 And the people shouted with a great shout that the wall fell down flat. 382 00:55:59,580 --> 00:56:04,660 Along the old Jericho road, recalling how the twelve tribes of Israel won Palestine, 383 00:56:05,380 --> 00:56:07,100 and established a flourishing king. 384 00:56:17,350 --> 00:56:22,430 In the Psalms, the poet sings, If I forget the old Jerusalem, 385 00:56:23,350 --> 00:56:25,550 let my right hand forget her cunning. 386 00:56:26,250 --> 00:56:31,710 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth. 387 00:56:44,060 --> 00:56:47,100 Three temples of ancient Israel were built here. 388 00:56:47,340 --> 00:56:49,408 There they stood through the centuries, until 389 00:56:49,409 --> 00:56:52,700 the last was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD. 390 00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:56,180 The ancient Jewish state overthrown. 391 00:56:56,920 --> 00:57:00,780 And today the mosque of Omar occupies the site of Solomon's temple. 392 00:57:10,820 --> 00:57:16,300 If you ever hear of the stronghold of Masada, the seed of tragic heroism in the 393 00:57:16,301 --> 00:57:20,640 Jewish revolt against Rome, the defenders hurling themselves over the cliff, 394 00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:22,600 preferring death to surrender. 395 00:57:28,110 --> 00:57:32,970 At the bottom, the old Roman wall, dating back to that era, of the final 396 00:57:32,971 --> 00:57:35,710 effort of ancient Israel for national freedom. 397 00:57:47,920 --> 00:57:51,960 The green fields of modern Israel bring the Jewish story right down to date. 398 00:57:52,210 --> 00:57:56,840 From ancient tragedy to present revival, Israel restored. 399 00:57:58,240 --> 00:58:01,420 Zionist settlers have done wonders in the practice of advanced agriculture. 400 00:58:02,180 --> 00:58:04,740 So here today, the color is green. 401 00:58:12,630 --> 00:58:17,570 The ancient port of Akron, one of the great gateways to Palestine. 402 00:58:19,550 --> 00:58:23,950 After 2000 years, a Jewish state has been restored in the old land. 403 00:58:24,690 --> 00:58:26,490 For ages, the people in exile. 404 00:58:27,330 --> 00:58:30,810 And now a host of exiles returning to build a new nation. 405 00:58:46,740 --> 00:58:48,000 Let us tear you a moment. 406 00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:50,680 Let us recall another story. 407 00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:53,660 A story that begins at Bethlehem. 408 00:58:55,840 --> 00:59:00,320 And she brought forth her first born son, wrapped him in swaddling clothes, 409 00:59:00,500 --> 00:59:01,560 and played him in a mage. 410 00:59:02,140 --> 00:59:04,760 Because there was no room for them in the end. 411 00:59:05,920 --> 00:59:10,280 And the angels sang, glory to God in the highest. 412 00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:14,440 And on earth, peace, good will toward man. 413 00:59:29,430 --> 00:59:31,030 With the church of the Natimani. 414 00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:44,940 On Nazareth, where Jesus lived in his youth and worked as a carpenter. 415 00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:48,131 A city made immortal by the name that has 416 00:59:48,132 --> 00:59:51,561 dominated Christendom for nearly 2,000 years. 417 00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:54,100 Jesus of Nazareth. 418 00:59:54,700 --> 00:59:55,700 And 419 01:00:13,050 --> 01:00:16,550 the river in which the Savior was baptized by John the Baptist. 420 01:00:26,190 --> 01:00:30,510 Over looking at the chart, the Mount of temptation, of which we read. 421 01:00:31,330 --> 01:00:34,870 And the devil will take him up into an exceedingly high mountain. 422 01:00:35,330 --> 01:00:39,170 And showeth him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them. 423 01:00:39,830 --> 01:00:44,650 All of which Satan offered to Jesus if he would give up the kingdom of heaven. 424 01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:51,600 The Sea of Galilee, where Jesus walked on the walk. 425 01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:55,040 The sea in which the apostles cast their nets. 426 01:00:55,660 --> 01:00:58,880 And the chief of the twelve was Simon Cole Peter, a fisherman. 427 01:01:01,440 --> 01:01:04,300 The gospel story takes us to the tragic conservation. 428 01:01:05,540 --> 01:01:07,320 Guess semony outside Jerusalem. 429 01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:12,100 Then comeeth Jesus with them to a place Cole gets seven. 430 01:01:12,460 --> 01:01:13,780 So the gospel relays. 431 01:01:14,420 --> 01:01:16,600 The story of the agony in the garden. 432 01:01:20,370 --> 01:01:24,040 Into the city through St. Stephen's Gate, where Stephen was stoned. 433 01:01:24,840 --> 01:01:29,460 The way pilgrims have come for centuries to pray at the scenes named by tradition. 434 01:01:30,660 --> 01:01:35,600 And imagination can picture those events when Jesus was led forth to be crucified. 435 01:01:42,620 --> 01:01:43,860 The Via Dolorosa. 436 01:01:45,250 --> 01:01:49,720 The way of the cross, named by tradition as the road to Calvary. 437 01:01:50,520 --> 01:01:53,980 Where the Savior crowned with thorns carried his cross. 438 01:01:54,880 --> 01:01:56,780 And their followed him says the gospel. 439 01:01:57,500 --> 01:02:02,700 A great company of people and of women, which also be wailed and lamented him. 440 01:02:02,840 --> 01:02:09,160 But Jesus turning unto them said, daughters of Jerusalem, wait not for me, 441 01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:12,320 but wait for yourselves and for your children. 442 01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:19,040 When they were come to the place which is called Calvary, where they crucified him. 443 01:02:19,860 --> 01:02:22,111 The story in the minds of the pilgrims as 444 01:02:22,112 --> 01:02:25,800 they make this journey along the Via Dolorosa. 445 01:02:31,690 --> 01:02:37,090 The church of the Holy Sepulcher, its ancient walls ever in need of repair, 446 01:02:38,190 --> 01:02:40,510 legended as the scene of the resurrection. 447 01:02:41,930 --> 01:02:47,310 Where at Easter the cry rings out, he is risen, he is risen. 448 01:02:49,880 --> 01:02:55,450 And finally, the Mount of Olives, the scene of the ascension. 449 01:07:00,510 --> 01:07:05,610 Africa, dark continent of long dramatic legend. 450 01:07:06,990 --> 01:07:11,250 Great fire mountains are just about the most exciting of all the wonders of nature. 451 01:07:11,675 --> 01:07:15,011 And here before us in East Africa, is the Lord of 452 01:07:15,012 --> 01:07:18,930 Volcanoes, with the rising column of volcanic gas. 453 01:07:19,770 --> 01:07:22,050 Shall we take a look right into the burning crater? 454 01:07:22,670 --> 01:07:27,810 Our synorama aerial cameraman, Paul Mans, is afraid the sulfur fumes will 455 01:07:27,811 --> 01:07:30,811 cut his engines for a forced landing in what 456 01:07:30,812 --> 01:07:34,331 could be a pit of hell in Dante's inferno. 457 01:07:55,740 --> 01:07:59,680 Africa renowned above all for its wonders of the animal kingdom. 458 01:08:01,420 --> 01:08:04,440 Heard of hippos on the Victoria Nile. 459 01:08:11,190 --> 01:08:13,350 The bottom is as great for river horse. 460 01:08:14,170 --> 01:08:15,930 The Greeks had a word for nearly everything. 461 01:08:16,590 --> 01:08:19,010 These do look a bit like horses there in the river. 462 01:08:20,210 --> 01:08:21,930 How would you like to ride a hippo? 463 01:08:27,490 --> 01:08:34,930 Africa wonderland for numbers and varieties of huge animals, like the elephant herd. 464 01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:11,620 A monarch with a bird for a crown. 465 01:09:13,620 --> 01:09:16,280 Now a bit of drama in the elephant country. 466 01:09:28,210 --> 01:09:31,690 For the local tribes, baby elephants are fair game. 467 01:09:31,691 --> 01:09:35,474 They capture them, and tame them, or try to, 468 01:09:35,475 --> 01:09:38,710 for the African elephant is difficult to tame. 469 01:09:39,290 --> 01:09:42,310 Let's join an elephant hunt and see how they catch them. 470 01:10:06,720 --> 01:10:07,850 The best from Jumbo. 471 01:10:15,850 --> 01:10:18,410 Here's how they tame and train a baby elephant. 472 01:10:19,110 --> 01:10:20,710 At an elephant school. 473 01:10:38,830 --> 01:10:43,890 How do you like going to school, baby Jumbo? 474 01:11:19,020 --> 01:11:20,140 The 475 01:11:25,690 --> 01:11:31,740 end of a perfect day in elephant country. 476 01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:17,700 Still trying to call them back to the jungle. 477 01:12:29,090 --> 01:12:31,560 African crocodiles are man-eaters. 478 01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:35,760 So this is not a place where you and I can swim and relax. 479 01:12:44,250 --> 01:12:48,090 Pink flamingos in a pastel colored cloud. 480 01:12:58,280 --> 01:13:04,640 Africa has only 5 million people of European origin, and 200 million Africans, 481 01:13:05,480 --> 01:13:07,560 like the Watusi in the Belgian Congo. 482 01:13:08,160 --> 01:13:11,940 The tall people, seven footers are common among them. 483 01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:15,780 For a lofty stature, they are a wonder of the human race. 484 01:13:16,460 --> 01:13:19,420 High-jumping the favorite sport among the Watusi. 485 01:13:25,190 --> 01:13:26,450 Now they move it up an arch. 486 01:13:28,210 --> 01:13:31,910 That solemn character standing at the hurdle is a seven footer. 487 01:13:41,780 --> 01:13:42,880 The 488 01:14:02,480 --> 01:14:07,320 king approaches the mowami in Royal ceremonial cluster. 489 01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:12,180 With him, his Belgian advisor, who is of ordinary European statue. 490 01:14:15,080 --> 01:14:18,680 The Watusi are the tallest people on earth. 491 01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:22,760 King the mowami truly regal figure. 492 01:14:32,490 --> 01:14:34,630 On with the dance, says the mowami. 493 01:15:50,540 --> 01:15:52,050 His name is butero. 494 01:15:52,590 --> 01:15:53,690 He's the star. 495 01:15:54,330 --> 01:15:56,470 Tailed as the greatest dancer in Africa. 496 01:15:57,450 --> 01:16:00,530 Then the jinsky of the Watusi. 497 01:16:51,200 --> 01:16:54,120 The little girls of the tribe take their dancing seriously. 498 01:17:00,900 --> 01:17:05,420 Like grown-ups everywhere, amused by the younger generation. 499 01:17:48,160 --> 01:17:51,500 Now for a wonder name of legend and mystery. 500 01:17:52,640 --> 01:17:53,640 Tim Buck, too. 501 01:17:54,520 --> 01:17:55,620 Below us. 502 01:17:56,060 --> 01:17:59,520 Once a forbidden city, almost inaccessible in the southern Sahara. 503 01:18:00,620 --> 01:18:02,200 The goal for high adventure. 504 01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:06,080 The Sahara salt caravan. 505 01:18:06,580 --> 01:18:09,080 To the south, the tribal people have no salt. 506 01:18:09,100 --> 01:18:10,260 It's a rare luxury. 507 01:18:11,000 --> 01:18:13,500 In this part of the Sahara, there are salt oasis. 508 01:18:14,080 --> 01:18:16,799 So these camels, a thousand of them, carry 509 01:18:16,800 --> 01:18:20,141 treasure to a world where salt is like gold. 510 01:18:29,980 --> 01:18:35,340 When we think of mighty wonders of nature, two names always come to mind. 511 01:18:36,380 --> 01:18:40,180 Niagara Falls and Victoria Falls. 512 01:18:41,100 --> 01:18:44,480 Ah, but we are a long, long way from honeymoon bridge. 513 01:18:45,300 --> 01:18:47,740 Where we are now flying over Rhodesian. 514 01:18:48,660 --> 01:18:52,140 We had our first thrill, so our first wonder in South America. 515 01:18:53,020 --> 01:18:54,180 It was oophones. 516 01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:56,200 Now another. 517 01:19:11,580 --> 01:19:15,100 A telltale cloud of spray heralds Victoria Falls. 518 01:19:15,150 --> 01:19:16,640 Found by Livingston. 519 01:19:17,640 --> 01:19:19,280 Before Stanley, found here. 520 01:19:19,980 --> 01:19:22,700 Wider than Niagara and twice as high. 521 01:19:47,160 --> 01:19:49,260 What a challenge it is for Ciderama. 522 01:19:49,900 --> 01:19:52,700 Here with the Zambezi, punches into a narrow canyon. 523 01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:56,720 The violent impact of water raising misty clouds. 524 01:20:54,700 --> 01:21:00,130 In the crater of an extinct volcano, a lake that seems to mirror the dark, 525 01:21:00,290 --> 01:21:01,710 strange beauty of Africa. 526 01:21:42,770 --> 01:21:45,940 All around us now are the mountains of Yemen. 527 01:21:46,740 --> 01:21:49,360 One of the wildest, one of the least known parts of the world. 528 01:21:49,900 --> 01:21:53,480 And by the way, down here in these mountains is where they first started to 529 01:21:53,481 --> 01:21:55,640 grow coffee and where they first started to drink. 530 01:21:56,540 --> 01:21:59,180 From Africa, we have flown across to Arabia. 531 01:22:00,440 --> 01:22:03,300 Coming in over a land of desert and enchantment. 532 01:22:04,340 --> 01:22:07,438 Beyond these forbidding mountains of Yemen on the coast, 533 01:22:07,439 --> 01:22:10,000 we are heading for the desolation of the inner desert. 534 01:22:10,750 --> 01:22:14,400 With wonders rising like pajamas out of the Arabian Nights. 535 01:22:21,070 --> 01:22:25,570 Only a few miles ahead of us is the most frightful of all deserts. 536 01:22:26,150 --> 01:22:32,691 The Rubal Kali, the land of emptiness, which the Arabs themselves never penetrate. 537 01:22:40,765 --> 01:22:43,160 The empty quarter lies just beyond this valley. 538 01:22:43,620 --> 01:22:44,720 We're rounding a cliff. 539 01:22:45,180 --> 01:22:48,160 We suddenly come upon one of the least known wonders of the world. 540 01:22:53,575 --> 01:22:54,880 A skyscraper city. 541 01:22:55,540 --> 01:22:57,100 What could be strange? 542 01:23:01,620 --> 01:23:04,960 The city of Shiba, in a region called the Hadrima. 543 01:23:05,500 --> 01:23:08,539 People living here in modern looking skyscrapers, just 544 01:23:08,540 --> 01:23:11,380 as they have lived since before the dawn of history. 545 01:23:12,840 --> 01:23:18,120 From time immemorial, the local pride here has been to erect these tall buildings. 546 01:23:24,630 --> 01:23:26,730 Why does the chicken cross the road? 547 01:23:27,330 --> 01:23:29,990 Well, because the camels are going that way. 548 01:23:30,510 --> 01:23:31,510 Hopeful chicken. 549 01:23:38,350 --> 01:23:39,890 The city water works. 550 01:23:48,230 --> 01:23:50,130 Sayom, another skyscraper city. 551 01:23:50,810 --> 01:23:54,831 There are several in this valley, right on the edge of the land of emptiness. 552 01:23:56,970 --> 01:24:00,430 At one time, this was the land of frankincense and mer. 553 01:24:02,770 --> 01:24:05,510 Now, let's visit a paramount shake of the inner desert. 554 01:24:06,170 --> 01:24:07,650 In fact, he is a sheriff. 555 01:24:08,450 --> 01:24:10,890 That means a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad. 556 01:24:12,170 --> 01:24:15,690 Sheriff Hussain, we didn't expect such an impressive ceremony as this. 557 01:24:15,870 --> 01:24:18,690 It's like stepping back into the pages of the Arabian Nights. 558 01:24:19,090 --> 01:24:22,310 Thank you. 559 01:24:28,270 --> 01:24:30,840 Subordinate shakes, pay on it. 560 01:24:31,040 --> 01:24:34,840 They kiss his hand, and they kiss his dagger. 561 01:25:06,190 --> 01:25:09,730 Now, the camel stampede, camels by the thousands. 562 01:25:24,650 --> 01:25:27,330 This is the wealth of sheriff Hussain. 563 01:25:40,255 --> 01:25:44,470 From the Hadra Mount and the borders of Yemen, we swing north. 564 01:25:44,471 --> 01:25:46,930 Right over in the Rubal Khan. 565 01:25:47,730 --> 01:25:49,730 Directly across the empty corner. 566 01:25:50,490 --> 01:25:52,570 The most forbidding desert honor. 567 01:25:53,490 --> 01:25:55,350 Never crossed until recently. 568 01:26:02,060 --> 01:26:06,500 And then, suddenly, we come upon a wonder of modern technology. 569 01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:10,006 Here on the face of the desert, an oil pipeline, 570 01:26:10,007 --> 01:26:13,120 extending for hundreds of miles across the sands. 571 01:26:20,085 --> 01:26:21,540 Why the streak of flame? 572 01:26:22,320 --> 01:26:24,200 Oh, just waste gas. 573 01:26:30,310 --> 01:26:31,310 The 574 01:26:38,980 --> 01:26:42,141 better one on their camels still traverse the ancient caravan 575 01:26:42,142 --> 01:26:45,640 trails, just as they did before the Prophet Muhammad was born. 576 01:26:51,810 --> 01:26:54,866 But now, along the same desert routes, come the 577 01:26:54,867 --> 01:26:57,980 air-conditioned caravans of the American oil name. 578 01:27:00,180 --> 01:27:04,620 It may sound like a worn-out phrase to say the old and the new. 579 01:27:05,350 --> 01:27:07,020 But how can you avoid it here? 580 01:27:07,880 --> 01:27:11,280 The old tribal life and the new technology. 581 01:27:17,460 --> 01:27:18,880 American oil raids. 582 01:27:22,420 --> 01:27:26,880 Below this desert of eastern Arabia near the Persian Gulf, is an ocean of oil 583 01:27:26,881 --> 01:27:30,269 recently developed by American oil mayor, bringing 584 01:27:30,270 --> 01:27:33,900 about an extraordinary phenomenon of the modern world. 585 01:27:35,330 --> 01:27:38,660 At the Great Aramco refinery, a workday ends. 586 01:27:51,810 --> 01:27:57,330 The Muslim worker's prey in response to the call of the mooisin, bowing in the 587 01:27:57,530 --> 01:27:59,210 direction of the holy city of Mecca. 588 01:28:09,920 --> 01:28:15,940 The ruler of this fabulous realm of oil is King Saul, who receives oil royalties 589 01:28:15,941 --> 01:28:22,260 amounting to a million dollars a day, making Saul the richest man in the world. 590 01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:29,180 The American Arabian oil city of Doran on the Persian Gulf. 591 01:28:45,940 --> 01:28:48,360 The desert falcon used for hunting. 592 01:28:49,100 --> 01:28:52,520 Young America, right in the middle of the Arabian night. 593 01:28:58,590 --> 01:29:01,700 Take me out to the bowl game in the land of Arabic. 594 01:29:07,200 --> 01:29:08,960 And don't miss the donkey on the right. 595 01:29:15,270 --> 01:29:20,240 King Saul, in some of his 30 sons, appeared to be baseball fans. 596 01:29:49,110 --> 01:29:52,627 Swinging west from the desert to the song, from 597 01:29:52,628 --> 01:29:55,851 the lands of the Orient to the Western world. 598 01:29:56,150 --> 01:30:00,050 Now we're looking down on that historic point where Asia meets Europe. 599 01:30:01,330 --> 01:30:04,530 Istanbul, old Constantinople on the bus for us. 600 01:30:04,880 --> 01:30:07,270 The straight that divides Europe from Asia. 601 01:30:11,810 --> 01:30:17,430 The city that lies on two continents on the left Europe, on the right Asia. 602 01:30:29,530 --> 01:30:36,810 Mount Olympus, home of the gods of ancient Greece, Jupiter and his thunderbolts, 603 01:30:37,210 --> 01:30:41,470 Apollo with his golden liar, Aphrodite the goddess of love. 604 01:30:42,090 --> 01:30:44,710 Imagine them all right there on that cloudy summit. 605 01:30:52,060 --> 01:30:57,140 The trail of Western civilization leads to classical Greece, Athens. 606 01:30:58,380 --> 01:31:01,239 They're on the Acropolis, the Parthenon, Temple 607 01:31:01,240 --> 01:31:04,721 of the Goddess Athena, patroness of Athens. 608 01:31:12,410 --> 01:31:16,670 The Parthenon, architectural wonder of the world. 609 01:31:24,200 --> 01:31:26,140 Could they be Plato and Socrates? 610 01:31:27,700 --> 01:31:31,300 No, and not Demosthenes and Diogenes, even. 611 01:31:32,660 --> 01:31:36,600 That's the military costume of the modern Greek mountaineer. 612 01:31:44,440 --> 01:31:47,296 Along the portico of the Parthenon, which may 613 01:31:47,316 --> 01:31:50,020 be an ancient wonder, but it is also modern. 614 01:31:51,060 --> 01:31:56,241 Foreign Athens was born an idea that exists today in every country where men are free. 615 01:31:56,845 --> 01:32:01,540 For it was here twenty-five hundred years ago, that was born the ideal of democracy, 616 01:32:02,040 --> 01:32:04,160 liberty of the mind, freedom of the spirit. 617 01:32:40,200 --> 01:32:46,680 The Isles of Greece, center of the ancient world, reminding us how easy it is now to 618 01:32:46,681 --> 01:32:49,340 fly around the world and behold its wonder. 619 01:32:54,080 --> 01:33:00,421 On across the Mediterranean to Naples, rival of Rio de Janeiro as a spectacular city. 620 01:33:21,650 --> 01:33:24,590 The scene here is a wonder of long legend. 621 01:33:25,210 --> 01:33:28,180 At the entrance of the magnificent harbor, that 622 01:33:28,280 --> 01:33:31,630 most famous volcano of them all, mount Vesuvius. 623 01:33:32,450 --> 01:33:34,070 Fortunately, now quite. 624 01:33:34,530 --> 01:33:37,348 Not at all like it was when it erupted in destroyed 625 01:33:37,408 --> 01:33:40,830 Pompeii, off there to the right, nineteen hundred years ago. 626 01:33:43,330 --> 01:33:44,550 And what do we see ahead? 627 01:33:44,870 --> 01:33:50,510 Whilst the leading tower of peace and that slanting medieval wonder that still leans. 628 01:34:03,600 --> 01:34:10,020 Rome is above all, the wonder city of historic monuments, glorious architecture, 629 01:34:10,740 --> 01:34:13,261 marvel to the fine arts that have come down from 630 01:34:13,262 --> 01:34:15,821 antiquity from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. 631 01:34:17,120 --> 01:34:20,340 The modern metropolis too, this eternal city. 632 01:34:31,670 --> 01:34:33,390 What lucky travelers we are. 633 01:34:33,391 --> 01:34:39,171 How few have had such an intimate sky view, Saint Peter's and the Vatican as this. 634 01:34:59,120 --> 01:35:04,840 We spiral right down over the Colosseum and arrive in Rome at an auspicious time. 635 01:35:05,380 --> 01:35:08,087 For now, the Roman Catholic Church is celebrating the end 636 01:35:08,088 --> 01:35:11,200 of the Marian year with a splendor of ritual and pageant. 637 01:35:18,280 --> 01:35:22,080 Colosseum still seems to proclaim the power of the Roman Empire. 638 01:35:27,300 --> 01:35:31,500 The corridor through which the gladiators walked on their way into the arena to 639 01:35:31,501 --> 01:35:35,830 fight and also to die before Caesar and that cruel Roman crowd. 640 01:35:48,255 --> 01:35:52,120 In this amphitheater, the Christians were thrown to the lions. 641 01:35:53,220 --> 01:35:57,860 Now here in this place of martyrdom, Christian Lithily is recited. 642 01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:41,610 The Roman Forum center the political life of the Roman state. 643 01:36:42,360 --> 01:36:46,500 Here you might commune with the shades of Cicero, Caesar, Brutus and Mark Anthony. 644 01:36:59,445 --> 01:37:03,310 Today Pope Pius XII will give a benediction at Saint Peter's and all Rome 645 01:37:03,410 --> 01:37:07,030 is going, three pilgrims in particular. 646 01:37:16,540 --> 01:37:17,540 Bill, 647 01:37:32,910 --> 01:37:37,510 but has recovered, and in a spirit of thanksgiving, they are taking him to 648 01:37:37,511 --> 01:37:40,350 receive the papal blessing on this day of days. 649 01:37:40,970 --> 01:37:41,970 Oh, but they are late. 650 01:37:42,370 --> 01:37:44,090 Somebody is always late. 651 01:38:33,280 --> 01:38:36,380 You'll constantly notice that obelisk in the middle of the square. 652 01:38:37,100 --> 01:38:41,480 It was brought to Rome for me, it nearly 2,000 years ago, brought by one 653 01:38:41,481 --> 01:38:45,369 of the Caesars, the interior of the greatest church 654 01:38:45,370 --> 01:38:49,080 in the world, never before in life and for film. 655 01:39:21,760 --> 01:39:27,120 Saint Peter's with Michelangelo's dome, one of the wonders of the world, 656 01:39:27,580 --> 01:39:30,500 the largest church in all of Christendom. 657 01:42:51,060 --> 01:42:52,060 There 658 01:43:13,790 --> 01:43:18,830 is Cardinal Spelman, the Cardinal helped arrange this filming for Cinderella, 659 01:43:19,410 --> 01:43:21,350 just arranging it with something of a wonder. 660 01:45:46,500 --> 01:45:49,060 Too late, it's all over. 661 01:45:49,180 --> 01:45:51,500 Giovanni and Maria are sadly disappointed. 662 01:45:52,240 --> 01:45:55,480 Will the bambino have to go without the benediction of the Pope? 663 01:45:55,980 --> 01:45:57,140 Apparently, yes. 664 01:45:57,820 --> 01:45:59,870 They're told that all they can do now is offer 665 01:45:59,871 --> 01:46:02,681 up a prayer of thanksgiving at the high altar. 666 01:47:00,610 --> 01:47:01,850 But here is help. 667 01:47:06,105 --> 01:47:10,070 They tell their story to a prelet, and he informs them that the Pontiff has 668 01:47:10,071 --> 01:47:14,990 gone to Castel Gandalfo, the people residents in the hills outside Rome. 669 01:47:15,810 --> 01:47:17,650 There he will give a special benediction. 670 01:47:18,750 --> 01:47:21,190 They can attend by getting a special permission. 671 01:47:24,730 --> 01:47:27,350 So quickly they are on their way. 672 01:47:29,910 --> 01:47:33,758 Castel Gandalfo, the changing of the Swiss guards 673 01:47:33,759 --> 01:47:37,031 in their uniforms designed by Michelangelo. 674 01:48:01,570 --> 01:48:04,580 If it's easy to send me, the change of the 675 01:48:04,581 --> 01:48:08,531 silver boss is the man and the same in parallel. 676 01:48:56,630 --> 01:49:01,790 At the period, at the period of sanctity, the change 677 01:49:01,791 --> 01:49:05,460 of the silver boss is the man and the same in parallel. 678 01:49:06,170 --> 01:49:08,980 I have 679 01:50:04,690 --> 01:50:08,110 long thought about capturing the magnificence of a papal ceremony, 680 01:50:08,870 --> 01:50:10,190 and that was it. 681 01:50:10,191 --> 01:50:12,710 Like something out of the Middle Ages. 682 01:50:13,690 --> 01:50:17,390 On this flight around the world, we have seen many, many wonders, 683 01:50:17,870 --> 01:50:19,590 and we could go on and on. 684 01:50:20,230 --> 01:50:23,510 By the way, we may have missed your favorite completely. 685 01:50:25,390 --> 01:50:30,130 So far we have visited four continents with one more to go, our own. 686 01:50:30,850 --> 01:50:33,987 The wonders there may be familiar to all of us, but how 687 01:50:33,988 --> 01:50:36,910 can our search be complete without a look at some of that? 688 01:50:36,911 --> 01:50:43,710 So, for an epilogue, let's span the Atlantic, and then from all that we have 689 01:50:43,711 --> 01:50:47,350 seen around the globe, let's choose our magic seven. 690 01:50:48,010 --> 01:50:54,490 That magic seven to be selected by you, and you, and you. 691 01:51:02,320 --> 01:51:05,240 Hail Fair Lady, here we are again. 692 01:51:05,940 --> 01:51:09,700 We've been visiting ancient lands, and ours is a new country. 693 01:51:09,725 --> 01:51:13,342 We've seen many an edifice of majestic masonry, 694 01:51:13,343 --> 01:51:17,560 while our tall buildings are of structural steel. 695 01:51:19,020 --> 01:51:21,720 New York, engineered with steel. 696 01:51:23,560 --> 01:51:26,094 The Empire State tallest of buildings, a quarter 697 01:51:26,095 --> 01:51:28,920 of a mile high, with its 60,000 tons of steel. 698 01:51:29,300 --> 01:51:31,660 Would you include it as one of the magic seven? 699 01:51:32,620 --> 01:51:35,220 The familiar geometrical beauty of a great bridge. 700 01:51:38,770 --> 01:51:43,870 Ah, yes, we are at home among exploits of engineering, such as harnessing the water 701 01:51:43,871 --> 01:51:47,234 power of the new world, like the Hoover Dam, which holds 702 01:51:47,235 --> 01:51:50,790 back the waters of the largest of all lakes made by man. 703 01:51:54,260 --> 01:51:58,940 Of the seven wonders of the ancient world, only one was of practical utility, 704 01:51:59,600 --> 01:52:01,700 the lighthouse of Alexander, the fellows. 705 01:52:02,500 --> 01:52:05,100 The other six were all aesthetic in character. 706 01:52:05,101 --> 01:52:11,060 But ours is an era of technological wonders that are useful to man. 707 01:52:11,880 --> 01:52:14,680 Home sweet home in the technological 20th century. 708 01:52:15,180 --> 01:52:18,680 In Texas, it means an oil well right in your front yard. 709 01:52:32,600 --> 01:52:36,020 Ah, but in utter contrast to the complexities of modern technology, 710 01:52:36,720 --> 01:52:42,480 ours is also a country where simplicity has its greatest hold on man, like the 711 01:52:42,481 --> 01:52:45,400 little white church of the Protestant tradition. 712 01:52:56,120 --> 01:52:59,620 The Sunday service of gospel, sermon, and hands. 713 01:53:00,020 --> 01:53:02,800 The old American tradition of church and family. 714 01:53:03,580 --> 01:53:06,520 The simplicities that are so much our own. 715 01:53:13,120 --> 01:53:14,600 Won't you join us, stranger? 716 01:53:15,180 --> 01:53:15,740 Thanks, ladies. 717 01:53:16,060 --> 01:53:17,620 Those stakes are so irresistible. 718 01:53:18,120 --> 01:53:20,336 I couldn't keep from coming over to find out what you're doing. 719 01:53:20,360 --> 01:53:21,460 And what are you doing? 720 01:53:22,490 --> 01:53:25,800 Oh, I, we are looking for the seven wonders in the world. 721 01:53:25,840 --> 01:53:26,840 Have you any suggestions? 722 01:53:27,320 --> 01:53:28,320 The seven wonders? 723 01:53:28,780 --> 01:53:29,260 That's easy. 724 01:53:29,740 --> 01:53:31,020 Just count them, stranger. 725 01:53:31,660 --> 01:53:33,700 There are my seven wonders of the world. 726 01:53:40,270 --> 01:53:41,270 Perhaps you're right. 727 01:53:41,730 --> 01:53:46,071 Maybe we shouldn't have bothered about the Taj Mahal, Victoria Falls and all the rest. 728 01:53:48,550 --> 01:53:50,310 What about our natural wonders? 729 01:53:50,810 --> 01:53:52,610 Such as the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. 730 01:53:53,850 --> 01:53:54,850 Where 731 01:54:30,110 --> 01:54:31,270 are your falls in Africa? 732 01:54:32,330 --> 01:54:34,770 What would you now say about our own Niagara? 733 01:54:34,771 --> 01:54:38,050 The world sentimental one. 734 01:55:10,410 -->
