Summary
Disc 1: First, go with Don beneath Tokyo's busy streets to see the latest technology that will save the city from the many natural disasters ready to strike. Then, join Eric on a hair-raising trip into Berlin's dark recent past, where beneath the streets, sealed and forgotten, are thousands of bunkers, not to mention cavernous areas that inspired the Nazis to venture beneath the surface. Last, deep in the heart of the jungles of Belize the Maya carved a vast civilization that spread throughout Central America.
Summary
Disc 2: First, take a fascinating tour of the darkest recesses of the city that never sleeps and go from the hidden Freemason tunnel and the secret world of the Sandhogs, to mobster hideaways and gang escape routes. Then, Jerusalem has always been at the center of prophetic revelations and Don goes underground to find the root of these visions. Last, Deep within the former Soviet Union lies a classified, subterranean world of Cold War secrets.
Summary
Disc 3: First, Below Moscow's crowded streets lie the reminders of its war-torn past and pieces of Stalin's terrifying legacy from the tunnels used to hide from Stalin's henchmen, to secret metro systems and hidden bunkers. Then, the Holy Land is full of holes that hide secret chambers and hidden vaults that riddle the landscape and conceal countless mysteries. Last, Don delves into D.C.'s subterranean defenses and takes you everywhere from top-secret, high-tech super bunkers to the underbelly of the National Mall.
Summary
Disc 4: First, Dublin, Ireland, is much more than a city full of pubs and pints and includes Pagan burial tombs, subterranean defense tunnels, and mysterious burial crypts undermine the rolling, green hills. Last, in a rare trip to the countryside, Don encounters a vast, intricate and massive CuChi tunnel system that were central to the Viet Cong war effort.
