Codes and Conspiracies - Season 2

Unravel the seamy secrets of Las Vegas. Where Mobsters once ruled. Where casinos suck you in to keep you playing and losing. Why was this a Nazi target for wartime sabotage, a test ground for Atomic Bombs, and a meeting place for 9/11's terrorists?

Did aliens help build the Pyramids and other monuments? Or does the "ancient astronauts" idea go back to Swiss author Erich von Daniken, whose books challenge religion and science? Who were his enemies? What were his influences? Why was he jailed?

Discover which of America's founding fathers was a master of deceit, which one used sex as an instrument of diplomacy, which one secretly scoffed at the divinity of Jesus, and which one engaged in the greatest cover-up in all of American history?

Discover some of America's most infamous cults. Whether its religious fire-and -brimstone, Armageddon, or visitors from outer space, the US has no shortage of like-minded people coming together to get swept up in the fervor.

At the height of the Cold War, the United States of America searches for a way to create a generation of "Supersoldiers" who use telepathy to win battles. In the 1950s gangster Whitey Bulger volunteers for the CIA's LSD project known as MK-Ultra.
