Eyes that Look at the Sky: The Mystery of Easter Island DVD
50 Minutes $28.00

Easter Island is the most remote piece of inhabited land on earth. Located midway between South America and Tahiti in the Pacific Ocean, the tiny island, three miles wide and twelve miles long, is the site of one of the world’s great mysteries. On this island natives carved and erected stone statues called moai, sometimes moving great distances the several ton giants over rough terrain, never damaging them in the process. In addition, red topknots, weighing as much as two elephants were raised and placed on many of the moais’ heads. Archaeologists still have not been able to determine exactly how the statues were moved or how the topknots were raised thirty feet or more and placed on the moais. The mystery is deepened when at a certain point all the sculptors apparently laid down their stone hammers and stopped all work, leaving statues in various stages of completion at the quarry. Who were these people? Where did they come from? Why did they exert such tremendous energy to create such wonders that even today leave us in awe? And why did they suddenly stop all their work? Lee and Joy Pennington made two trips to Easter Island to do the shooting for Eyes that Look at the Sky, and they captured some stunning pictures of this amazing culture and its incredible monoliths. The film is a comprehensive overview of Easter Island, her people, and her mystery, with some unique surprises along the way.

Good Water Good Roads: The Life of Verne Spratt DVD
46 Minutes $26.00

Born and raised in West Virginia, and having lived more than fifty years in Menifee County, Kentucky, Verne Spratt led a remarkable life.
He once grubbed with a mattock seven acres of hillside land to farm. He worked thirty-one years in the coal mines where he escaped a slate fall, a major buggy accident which broke his back. After he got black lung, he sought some peace and quiet in the hills of Eastern Kentucky. He was married to Ida Mae, the "prettiest girl" he ever saw. The couple first lived in a log cabin when they moved to Kentucky and then built a brick home on Clifton Creek where they were always "blessed with good water."
On moving to Kentucky, the Spratts began a quest for John Swift's Lost Silver Mine and found on their thousand-acre property all the signs listed in Swift's diary. In their search they discovered many beautiful and mysterious rock houses, petroglyphs, and natural wonders that few people know anything about.
They also discovered major archaeology sites, stone walls, rock mounds, and long serpentine walls. Their land may well contain the longest stone snake effigy in the world! People who visit the sites often respond with "this is a lost city."
A storyteller incarnate, Verne Spratt told tales with a voice that carries the full richness of mountain speech, and what stories he had to tell. There are tales of getting kicked in the head by a mule, of a dog burying a pone of bread that a tiller digs up the next next spring, and everybody thinks the pone is a stone, and of Mr. Spratt spending two years of his schooling in a garbage dump.
Shot over a three-year period and edited from more than twenty five hours of raw footage, Good Water, Good Roads: The Life of Verne Spratt is a 46-minute VHS video that captures the life of the man and the place where he lived.  The Eastern Kentucky fiddle music played by J.P. and Annadeene Fraley sets the mood for this sensitive portrayal .
Mr. Spratt says of the tales, the legends, the incredible sites, "these are things being lost, and they should not be.”

The Mound Builders DVD
51 Minutes $28.00

When the first European settlers began moving into the interior of the American continent, they discovered thousands and thousands of massive earthworks of all sizes, shapes and forms. The Native Americans who were questioned about the mounds said that they didn’t know who built them, but that the mounds were ancient. Since the native population apparently knew nothing of the structures, the settlers assumed that the mounds were built by a different race of people. Modern archaeologists discount the idea of a different race of people building the mounds and say they were built by ancestors of Native Americans without the help or influence of any outside people.Some anomalies found in the mounds, if authentic, would suggest otherwise. Although scholars have done nearly two hundred years of study, the mounds still hold tenaciously to their secrets. Many things, however, are known about the mounds. For example, North America had more pyramids, although made of dirt rather than stone, than did Egypt. Skeletons of one mound-building group were seven feet tall. There were at least four different mound-building peoples—designated by archaeologists as: Mississippian, Adena, Hopewell, and Effigy. Ten years in the making, The Mound Builders is perhaps the most comprehensive video ever done on the mounds.

Secret of the Stones DVD
36 Minutes $26.00

High in the Andes Mountains is evidence that an advanced civilization existed thousands of years ago, predating the Egyptians by some 10,000 years.
Legends say these people were connected to a traveling, bearded stranger who brought civilization and the development of arts to the region and greatly influenced every single Andean culture, including the Incas.
We are most familiar with the Inca civilization in South America. These were the magnificent people met by the Europeans at first contact in the16th century.Their style of stonework is recognizable the world over. The curious thing, however, is that the Inca Empire only lasted barely a century, and one begins to suspect that the sheer amount of stonework, both in the cyclopean structures of the ancient cities and the great road networks that extend more than 15,000 miles would have taken longer than a hundred years to construct.
Secret of the Stones is the quest for the mysterious Andean Viracocha.

Tunnel of Time (A Tribute to Marion Dahm) DVD
22 Minutes $24.00

Marion Dahm was the dean of grassroots Viking research in the United States. For more than half his life, he pursued the burning question, did Norsemen penetrate the interior of North America? He tracked down every lead for bits and pieces of evidence,artifacts such as bronze spear points, iron axes, and medieval swords. Most of all, he was constantly on the trail of the mysterious triangular-shaped hole which he was certain was a mooring hole and evidence, he felt, was the calling card of the Vikings. Believing the Kensington rune stone was an authentic document of history, for more than forty years Marion scuba dived in Norway Lake where he had information that another, similar rune stone existed. Tunnel of Time is a glimpse of the man whose very destiny was to search for the Vikings, a people traditional archaeologists and historians say couldn’t possibly exist in the place where Marion found much evidence to suggest otherwise.

Wales History in Bondage DVD
54 Minutes $28.00

Suppose there were records indicating your country had a rich and important history dating back some three thousand years, and the traditional scholars failed to recognize, or even worse, completely ignored those records. Suppose also that the most famous king in the world, your country’s most famous native son, is described by scholars as “probably a myth” or, at best, “a legend based on some minor Roman soldier.”Such is the case with Wales. Alan Wilson and Baram Blackett, Welsh historians, have spent nearly fifty years researching their country's historic records and documenting their shocking findings. Their discoveries prove that not only did King Arthur exist but he and his brother, Prince Madoc, with a fleet of seven hundred ships sailed west from Milford Haven to a place called Annwn, “that which is beyond,” or “the other world.” Annwn was probably the same place the Spanish called “the New World.” Wales History in Bondage is a definitive documentary that focuses on Wales’ covered-up history. Filmed on location, the video provides an astounding uncovering of Wales, the only indigenous culture in Europe that had a written literature during the sixth century. If you’re of Welsh descent or if you just want to find out more about the Welsh story and their very real King of the Round Table, Wales History in Bondage is a documentary you’ll want to seriously consider.
