4. Historical documentary series or DVDs: Look for educational and engaging documentaries that explore various ancient civilizations, such as the BBC series "Civilizations" or "Secrets of the Dead" by PBS. Your grandpa can enjoy watching these programs at his leisure and expand his knowledge on archaeology and the ancient world.
