I watched the episode about the Tower of Babel. Throughout the the show they referenced the build as King Nebuchadnezzar, which is wrong according to historical fact and the Bible. Fact is it was built by King Nimrod the hunter. Not Nebuchadnezzar look it up, I did
The narration refuses to use past tense, as if to imply that these ancient structures were being built even as we watch. There are multiple factual errors, and worst is the overall implication that these structures are all TOTAL mysteries and the people on the show are discovering all this interesting stuff about them (for instance, I'm watching "The Tower of London" and the narrator pretends no one knows who built the tower, when it's been an established fact of history since the day it was built. The archaeologists play along, as if they are discovering things that have been known for decades, if not centuries.
The show seems aimed at kids, but they'd be better served to watch a program that uses facts and not falsehoods.
The visuals are fun, and sometimes you learn something you didn't know - but you can't trust the source, so ...

Although Nimrod started the Tower of Babel, it was infact Nebuchadnezzar who finished/completed it
Just watched the Seven Wonders of America, episode Golden Gate Bridge. They think the GGB connects San Francisco and Oakland! Oy!
And someone in production is way too fond of their CGI of exploded views. It was interesting for the first couple of episodes but now it's annoying and takes up too much time. Is it just space filler?
This is a long running Discovery Channel show. Starting from the mid-2010's, the show is a mix of CG animation, present-day archaeology, and talking heads as archaeologists are exploring various ancient and near-modern sites. The exploding CGI animation is its signature move and it is fun. Although it does feel a little dated nowadays, but I choose to see it as a classic. They do repackage the show into different episodes sometimes. I wonder how many locations are left to explore after over a hundred episodes. As for its academic level, this is only good for high school or college undergraduate study.
