Pergamon was one of the first emerging kingdoms of the Hellenistic world. Attalid rulers designed the city almost as a stage to house the religious rituals. These rituals were re-fashioned in the Hellenistic age to accommodate rituals of the kingship. Before the emergence of the Hellenistic kings, the Greek world in the Classical period was ruled by democracy. The most important performance for the democracy was the circular dance. Teams of young men represented various tribes that constituted their city. Dance competitions facilitated the social integration of the society. The circular dance in the democratic polis occupied the full circle of the orkhestra. In the Hellenistic period however the stage invaded half of the orkhestra reducing it to a semi-circular area.

Among these fragile remains are more than 2,000 footprints have been unearthed by archaeologists: the world’s largest collection of Neanderthal footprints in the world! Since 2012, archaeologist Dominique Cliquet has been working race against time to excavate this internationally important prehistoric site before the raging sea swallows up for ever the traces of life left in the dune by the Neanderthal men, women and children who once Neanderthals who frequented the site. The discoveries made in Normandy and other research carried out in recent years conducted in recent years across Europe and beyond, this unprecedented archaeological investigation takes us on a dizzying journey back in time, in the footsteps in the footsteps of Neanderthal man. Little by little, behind the everyday life of the Neanderthals, archaeology gives us a glimpse us a glimpse of what underpinned the humanity of this extinct species, so different... and yet so close to us!

Could these women be real-life Amazon warriors - a fiercely independent tribe of warriors and hunters who were revered for their physical prowess and sheer strength comparable to the bravest of men? Is there any historical truth behind the myth of these hard-fighting, horse-riding female fighters?

Combining field research, dramatic reenactments, 3D and in-depth interviews, this docu mentary will uncover who these women were, hoping to expose the truth behind the myth of Amazons.

In the 1920s, a couple of archaeologists unearthed a Mesolithic burial site on the Morbihan island of Téviec. Archaeology was still in its infancy, and prehistoric necropolises of this quality were rare in Europe. Among the skeletons, the one Marthe and Saint-Just Péquart refer to as “K6” has a peculiarity that intrigues the scientific community: two arrowheads embedded in the spinal column. This discovery calls into question the idea that our Mesolithic ancestors were peaceful hunter-gatherers.

In the early 2000s, the Téviec skeletons aroused renewed interest in the scientific community. Archaeologist Grégor Marchand and his team reopen the investigation and try to understand how the first known Mesolithic homicide took place...

What can this coffin tell us about the daily lives, beliefs and traditions of the Vikings? In July 2020, begins an exceptional archaeological expedition in hope to find answers.

Using state-of-art technologies, cinema-worthy dramatized reenactments and with the help of great specialists, Vikings: the lost kingdom is both a scientific investigation and an epic historical drama which brings back to life villagers, warriors and craftsmen of this lost civilization.

How did the pirates live, who were they beyond the legend? To answer this, our film follows two exceptional archaeological research missions to Mauritius and Madagascar. Until now, only a few pirate shipwrecks have been discovered. Today, in the western Indian Ocean, a team of archaeologists is conducting underwater studies in search of the remains of the Speaker, a famous pirate ship that sank in 1702... On land, complementary research is being carried out on Sainte-Marie Island, where pirates used to hide and live. Their research provides us with clues and tangible evidence of the mysterious lives of these men.

The dolmen of Guadalperal is not alone in its liquid tomb. On the course itself of the River Tagus, other reservoirs have flooded more vestiges of the earliest cultures that built great architectural works… Five thousand years ago, or even before that, a very strong belief system drove its construction, the almost titanic effort to work, move and assemble its large stone parts. And in 1925, just a few decades ago, the impressive structure was excavated and brought to light. The dolmen was revealed as never before in the summer of 2019 and is inundated with visitors until the water returns. Experts tell us its intense story.

Registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the 6th-century Derbent fortification complex is considered the largest defensive structure of the Persian Empire (Iran) in the Caucasus. It is now located in the Republic of Dagestan, the southernmost tip of Russia, where Westerners have been advised against travelling due to the bloody conflicts between Islamist groups and Russian forces. This film illuminates the historical significance of the fortification system, which was originally built to guard the northern frontier of the Persian Empire. It also explores how the fortress has been preserved for some fifteen centuries by Persian, Arab, Turkish and Russian rulers.

Beautiful ruins from the Elamite Civilisation (2700-547 BC) and the Parthian Empire (242 BC) can be found in the Iranian city of Izeh. Nearby Kul-e Farah is the site of six Elamite rock reliefs, first discovered by Austen Henry Layard in 1841. It has been suggested that this is a kind of open sanctuary for religious ceremonies involving the sacrifice of animals

Three reliefs are carved on rock faces, while the other three are on large boulders. They depict scenes of sacrifice, processions and a banquet, and three of them show groups of musicians. The inscription on relief I mentions Hanni, the son of Tahhi, and is therefore dated to Hanni’s time (circa 7th century BCE). However, the reliefs may belong to several periods, with reliefs III, IV, and VI having been dated to the end of the 2nd or the beginning of the 1st millennium BCE.

19:15. Stories of a necropolis. Production: Madrid Scientific Films. Direction: Trueba, Javier. España, 2022, 56 Minutos. Language: Castellano.

historias_de_una_necropolis_fjea_8

Dra Abu el-Naga is a fundamental hill in the history of Egypt. It is where the kings of the 17th dynasty and the early 18th dynasty were buried, between 1600 and 1500 BC, until Hatshepsut inaugurated the Valley of Kings. Through the prolonged life of the cemetery, its reuse and transformations over time, this documentary presents Egyptology and its objects of study as parts of a dynamic process. For this reason, excavating a necropolis involves documenting new uses, looting, social, political and religious changes, fashions… And the Egyptologist has the job of putting the puzzle back together, attempting to deduce chains of events and processes in time.

So how has it been erased from memory and built over by successive government buildings? To determine exactly when -- and why -- this lost masterpiece was built the experts will strip away layers of political, military, and religious history long hidden from view with a single goal: to gather clues beginning as far back as 52 BC in order to digitally reconstruct the Lost Palace, piecing together the size, shape and texture of the palace and discover its hidden surprises by interacting with scientists and historians

“Now we don’t like panels or spaces that stretch mountains into a room: here we start painting with stone”. So does Pliny testify to the introduction of a new decorative technique that was to become one of the most popular for paving and decorating imperial buildings, private residences and public facilities: the mosaic. And it is here in Portus, in a late antique thermal facility, that we will discover the long and complex restoration work carried out on a floor mosaic of one of the service areas of the baths. The recovery of an important archaeological asset and the telling of a model of integration that was one of the foundations of Roman society for centuries.

Water that healed body and spirit, a sacred building and place of pilgrimage, an inviolable dwelling in which the contrast between Etruscans and Romans gave way to peaceful coexistence. All this, for more than seven centuries - between the third century B.C. and the fifth century A.D. - was the sanctuary of Bagno Grande in San Casciano dei Bagni, whose “heart,” the sacred pool, has yielded more than 200 bronze artifacts and more than 5,000 coins. A set of offerings that faithfully “photograph” a past, which still speaks of health, of welcome, of faith.

In 1979 a fishing boat dragged a war plane from a depth of two hundred and seventy meters and deposited it on a shallow bottom near Tarragona. There it was said that at the end of the Spanish Civil War, during a raid on the city, a Legion Condor twin-engine nicknamed the “Granuja” had been shot down. The terrible memories of the bombings during that conflict returned to the memory of those who witnessed the events. But the process of documenting and identifying the submerged aircraft led to a surprising conclusion and forced a new line of investigation. Were those submerged remains really those of the “Granuja”?
