Dennis Quaid plays tour guide to some of history’s most stunning architectural achievements in a new episode of Holy Marvels, airing Monday, June 2, at 10:03 PM ET on the History Channel. The appropriately titled “Of Biblical Proportions” (Season 2, Episode 7) explores the breathtaking buildings shaped by human hands and spiritual inspiration—from ancient monuments to modern-day monuments.
This week’s travel itinerary covers some serious ground: a grand basilica in Vatican City, a monumental tower of Biblical lore, the monumental structures of ancient Egypt, and a lost city in the clouds of Peru are all on the agenda. Quaid anchors the proceedings with his familiar affable charm, giving context and background to constructions that span millennia.
The series focuses on human ingenuity and architectural ambition, while the “holy” part comes in via the sacred purpose behind these buildings. Holy Marvels doesn’t get bogged down in religious doctrine; instead, it looks at the intersection of faith and construction—how belief systems have pushed humans to create structures that both inspire awe and leave behind enduring mysteries. For viewers drawn to the stories etched in stone and glass, this episode looks to hit the mark.
