    The story of the Great Flood is one of the oldest myths in the world. The Bible says that God chooses to destroy all life on earth by a huge flood and only Noah and his clan are an exception to survive the disastrous flood.

    The Nibelungen saga" has all the ingredients a good fantasy piece need. Since its creation in the High Middle Ages, the story has been told and reinterpreted repeatedly. It all seems to have been said. But that is a mistake. The documentation offers a new and surprising approach to the classic material: It is not the dragon slayer Siegfried who is the real hero of the epic, but his wife Kriemhild.

    The legendary King Arthur - his name is inextricably linked with heroic deeds and a golden age of chivalry. Fantastic elements such as the magician Merlin or the search of the knights of the round table for the Holy Grail make his stories bestsellers. There is still a search going on for traces of his existence. Most scientists don't believe in a real King Arthur.
