This film takes us on a journey to discover Rome, the greatest and most exceptional city of the ancient world. It unveils the secrets of Roman architecture and reveals the incredible talent of its builders. Using recent film footage of Rome as it is today and the ruins that are still visible, together with significant post-production work, three of the city’s most iconic monuments come back to life: the Pantheon and its majestic dome, the largest in the world at the time; Emperor Nero’s sumptuous palace, which occupied a quarter of the city and was full of technological innovations, such as its incredible rotating banquet hall; and the legendary Coliseum, the greatest Roman amphitheatre ever built, which used amazing feats of engineering. A model of excellence, innovations, and eternity, here is Rome, as you have never seen it before.
Athens, Alexandria, Tikal and Rome: these legendary cities are some of the worldβs most famous archaeological sites. And yet, they still have not revealed all their secrets.
Built as temples of knowledge, these extraordinary cities were the beating heart of the ancient world. How did they come up to life? What was it like to live there? How did they become such centers of learning and invention?
From the 5th century BC to the Roman Empire, this compelling documentary series will bring back to life the greatest ancient cities at the height of their powers. Combining stunning CGI reconstructions with contemporary footage of the vestiges of these sites, and with the contribution of renowned experts, this series sheds a new light on these architectural treasures and lost civilizations that laid the foundations of our modern world.

This film takes us on a journey to discover Rome, the greatest and most exceptional city of the ancient world. It unveils the secrets of Roman architecture and reveals the incredible talent of its builders. Also, the material used was exceptional as it contained volcanic ash. Lucky for us, we can still see so much of what the Romans built.
Great empire, but still fell due to foolishness and snobbery of its people.
Proposed to my wife in Rome this summer 2022. β€οΈ a dream come true to come to Rome.
They said Rome was 90M population in 400AD, lmao π€£ I call BS. New York today isnβt even 9M
Lol rome is not the worlds capital itβs actually in Palestine !! Where Muhammad was discovered!
Unfortunately, this narrator sounds quite a bit like Mr Peterman from Seinfeld.
Now tell us what an airbus A380 weighs!
State built by iblis vicious anti Musliman AKA children of Adam.
The world's capital is Israel, not Rome. I sra el literally means "The benevolent prince who will be king".
So much staged garbage all over the lands from a pagan occult secret society and All soon will be known.
Odd that they didn't mention the bronze doors of the Parthenon. They are a technological marvel in themselves.
What did they do with the waste? With that many people, none of the things we take for granted today, I'm puzzled…
Keep up the good work
How did they do it? slave labor. But it's OK, there wasn't anything in the bible against slavery.
coliseum, built with the spoils of war they stole from the Hebrews.
Such a shame that plants are allowed to grow in the cracks of the ruins. They are highly destructive. But, what the hell, the Italians own them, and if they don't care, oh well.
People will be asking the same stuff in 300 years (if Jesus hasn't returned) about modern day America and similar countries
90,000,000 people ??????????????? Baloney
All architecture, design, engineering, stolen from the Greeks.
Greece did it first…
There was great bigger cities around the world why is it that only Romanβs are so Amazing
Alien technology
I do love a documentary with some good cgi. This is great.
Me just come back from Rome. Amazing city
No it's not modern concrete there pal, it's a good video but let's be real, Roman concrete is an unknown secret…..
For ist gump
For Forest Gump without a doubt
I heard that Jewish POWs were used in the construction of the Colosseum. This was shortly after the Romans (under then general Vespasian) burned down the Second Temple and defeated a multi year Jewish revolt.
cool
The augurs took the auspices and the eternal city was born
While grateful for the translation please donβt talk to us like weβre children.
