Lost Cities of the Ancients (BBC HD)



History Documentary hosted by Mark Halliley, published by BBC in 2006 - English narration







Information

------------------------------



Some of the greatest wonders of the ancient world still lie buried unseen and unexplored beneath our feet; near-legendary places that vanished thousands of years ago. This documentary series follow on a chain of archaeological and historical proofs and make an attempt to reveal the greatest secrets of the disappeared cities of the ancient world. 

Some of these mysterious ruined cities were so vast and magnificent, that it must have been inconceivable to those who lived there in the past that they could ever completely disappear. Today it would be similar like Manhattan sinking under waves, or Paris being covered over with earth. But as this series shows, every civilization, however magnificent, must eventually die and become a lost world.

This 3 part series includes The Vanished Capital of the Pharoah, The Cursed Valley of the Pyramids and The Dark Lords of Hattusha. Through drama and CGI these lost wonders are rebuilt and restored to their original splendour. 



A BBC, National Geographic Channel and ZDF Co-Production



1)  Vanished Capital of the Pharaoh 

It was one of history's great disappearing acts. Pi-Ramesses, the magnificent capital city of Ramesses II, is described in ancient texts as the most awesome in Ancient Egypt. But the city was only discovered when scientists realised the course of the Nile had been dramatically altered in ancient times, leaving the city stranded in the desert.

This magnificent ancient capital was built 3,000 years ago by the Egyptian pharaoh Ramesses the Great, but long ago the whole city disappeared. When it was rediscovered by early archaeologists, it opened up a bizarre puzzle - when Piramesse was finally found it was in the wrong place, somewhere Ramesses the Great could not possibly have built it.
