MEGAPOLIS

The history of men is intimately linked to urbanization and progress. If the cultures differ, the cities have nevertheless grown and evolved by obeying the same human dynamics, with progress intended to improve their life in society, in a given place.  

 

Combining the filmed remains of the first megacities with 3D reconstruction, the ambition of this series is to resuscitate the first megacities of universal history at the time of their apogee, so that they reveal to us a little of the life of men. of old and the immense variety of human genius.

Because one day men stopped being hunter-gatherers and settled down. They built houses, institutions, monuments, had a common language and culture, found comfort in their beliefs. Together, they conquered the land, exchanged and then traded its fruits; they invented and mastered writing and achieved extraordinary achievements. Their inventiveness has been revealed in many fields, both technical, artistic and literary… from their progress humanity has been nourished, enriched, to the point of leading us to the present time. And that amazes.
 

Based on the latest known historical and archaeological advances, this documentary series proposes to meet the civilizations of the past from the urban planning of the most emblematic cities: the Megacities of Antiquity. It presents them at their peak with their most remarkable monuments.
