Making Sites Speak
Discover how cutting-edge technology can protect at-risk archaeological sites to help preserve our past. From the bottom of the ocean to deep inside pre-Inca temples, see how LIDAR, robots and digitization allow us to go beyond human limits and create virtual archives for the future.
Making the Invisible Speak
From reconstructing an ancient Neanderthal cave, to retracing an ancient woman's footprints, to decoding the famous Herculaneum scrolls, see how scientists are deciphering the past by examining traces of history that have disappeared.
