The Renaissance

Travel back in time to the Renaissance as the series continues to bring history to life with fun facts, animations and experiments. After the knights of the Middle Ages came the Renaissance - an explosion of art, culture and thinking across Europe.

Four hundred years before planes first flew, Leonardo da Vinci was dreaming up ways to get humans into the skies, with mechanical devices that copied the flight of birds. Radical for their time, it's unlikely the ideas ever went beyond the drawing board. Today the History Hunters' first challenge is to make a Renaissance inspired flying machine. They'll also be printing party invitations using a Renaissance inspired printing press to speed up production.

Back in the studio, Calum and Kerry Anne create their own version of the Mona Lisa, and investigate how springs made it easier for us to tell the time today.
