It's too bad that this show couldn't have just concentrated on the history of the people being studied, their ways of warefare and their devastating weapons/attacks. Could you imagine a show where they would use that ballistic bust/torso and head and show the affects of all the various Polynesian clubs, IndoPersian weapons (a Madu, tiger's claw or Coorg knife!), Kingsmill Island shark tooth spear to the gut, etc, etc. They could have kept it more cultural, more historical and just as interesting instead of making it like some sci-fi time travel piece. Too bad...
