National Geographic’s Mysterious Islands continues its exploration of the world’s enigmatic locales with “Island of the Greek Goddess.” This week, the series turns its lens on an island hinting at a lost civilization, complete with stone artifacts, burial grounds, and the crumbling ruins of what appears to be a temple. But the real head-scratcher? A strange green light emanating from a dark forest, adding a dash of the unexplained to the already intriguing historical puzzle.
While the specifics of this lost civilization remain tantalizingly out of reach for now, Mysterious Islands will bring at least a few preliminary findings to light. The episode will also investigate the remnants of a long-lost temple on Suakin Island, picking through unearthed coral rubble in search of answers. Could this structure hold the key to understanding the island’s previous inhabitants? Or is it just another piece in a larger, more complicated puzzle?
Leading the expedition this week is Martin Yap, a familiar face to Mysterious Islands viewers. Yap’s expertise should prove invaluable as he guides viewers through this island’s mysterious ruins and perhaps offer a level-headed perspective on the source of the eerie green glow. Is it a natural phenomenon, evidence of something more otherworldly, or just a trick of the light? Frankly, I’m skeptical, but let’s see what Yap and the Mysterious Islands team can uncover.
Mysterious Islands airs Thursdays at 9:00 PM on National Geographic.
