Hidden away in the jungle of Guatemala, Tikal saw the light of day in the 8th century BC. Inhabited for over a thousand years, the ancient city would encompass up to 12,000 structures and 2 million inhabitants. It reveals its extraordinary temple-pyramids, made using sheer human strength. The North Acropolis, the Mundo Perdido astronomical observatory, the magnificent Temple of the Great Jaguar, and Temple IV, one of the tallest in all Mesoamerica, regain their colours of yesteryear and provide us with a unique testimonial of Maya art and ingenuity.

Athens, Alexandria, Tikal and Rome: these legendary cities are some of the world’s 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.
