Last, deep in the heart of the jungles of Belize the Maya carved a vast civilization that spread throughout Central America. 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.

Last, Deep within the former Soviet Union lies a classified, subterranean world of Cold War secrets. 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. 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.
