本節目將以有趣的倒數方式介紹古代科技背後的運作原理。拍攝方式與CGI特效則是來自「古代不思議」和「古代新發現」。我們增加了許多內容，像是前十大的圖示、聲音特效和相關的說明。而這份清單看起來也將更有系統。內容包含了埃及的十大秘密、十大古代維京人、十大希臘發明、十大古代武器、十大古遺跡、十大古船、十大刑具、十大羅馬發明、十大古劍還有十大古代圍城。
Ancient Top 10 is smart, fun countdown that details how ancient technology worked, how surprisingly advanced it was, and how it was kind of awesome. Location shooting, CGI, and graphics are pulled from past History series Ancient Impossible and Ancient Discoveries, and lists are organized by themes. The stories are augmented by new entries fueled by the History archive. Episodes include updated "Top Ten" graphics and new interviews that provide "wow" facts and explain why something made the list. The lists will have organizing principles so it doesn't seem arbitrary. Episodes could include the following: Top 10 Secrets of Egypt, Top 10 Ancient Vikings, Top 10 Greek Inventions, Top 10 Ancient Weapons, Top 10 Ancient Monuments, Top 10 Ancient Ships, Top 10 Torture Devices, Top 10 Roman Inventions, Top 10 Ancient Swords, and Top 10 Ancient Sieges.
