520    South Africa: A new era arrived after Apartheid's fall in 
       the 1990's. This compelling program traces South Africa's 
       turbulent history from the time of the San Bushmen and 
       Khoikhoi shepherds through its struggles to reform its 
       discriminatory racial policies of the past. South Africa's
       nine regions and its principle cities are identified. 
       Other segments etch a vivid portrait of South Africa as a 
       rich multicultural society with unique cultural heritages 
       and diverse geography. 
520    Egypt: its pyramid is the last standing of the 7 great 
       wonders of the world. This multicultural portrait of Egypt
       reveals it's Middle Eastern, Islamic, Mediterranean and 
       African influences. Viewers will discover the Nile River 
       and the Suez Canal's importance in Egypt's story , and 
       visit such important symbols of its heritage as the 
       Pyramids at Giza. Segments on Egyptian artisans and 
       cuisine further enhance an appreciation of Egypt's 
       culture. 
520    Israel: its population of seven million is 80% Jewish and 
       18% Muslim. From the Wailing Wall to the Dome of the Rock,
       viewers will gain a profound understanding of why the 
       world's three principle monotheistic religions consider 
       Jerusalem hallowed ground. This moving program charts 
       Israel's war-torn history and pays tribute to the victims 
       of the Holocaust. Beyond Jerusalem, viewers will 
       experience Israel's distinctive geographical and 
       historical regions. 
520    Iran: though its people are traditional Muslims, Iran is 
       not considered an Arab state. Filmed in 2005, this 
       illuminating program takes viewers inside an Iran that few
       outside the Middle East get to see. Archival footage, 
       artworks, and artifacts chronicle Iran's tumultuous past 
       as Persia, while contemporary footage reveals how ancient 
       traditions and modern Islamic ways coexist. This program 
       presents a fascinating portrait of this historically 
       important country that remains an important political and 
       cultural power. Informative maps pinpoint Iran's major 
       cities, including the capital city of Tehran, as well as 
       Shiraz, Esfahan, and Hamadan.
