Lost Worlds

A lavish showcase of paleoartist Jay Matternes's spectacular murals and sketches

In ancient times, the Mediterranean was home to some of the greatest civilizations the world has ever seen. Scientific data, combined with computer graphics, can drain the sea to unlock mysteries about the rise and fall of the Minoans, the Greeks, the Carthaginians and the mighty Romans, while unveiling the powerful natural forces at work in this unique region.

This six-part series presents the definitive history of archaeology, a 250-year worldwide odyssey that began with the unearthing of the ruins of Pompeii buried beneath the ash of Mt. Vesuvius. In a short time, archaeologists started pursuing very different objectives: some were treasure-seekers hoping to plunder antiquities of the ancient world; others sought to prove theories about the origins of civilization or the historical accuracy of Homer or the Bible; still others focused on humans themselves, trying to determine the age of the species.

Lost Worlds is a documentary television series by The History Channel that explores a variety of "lost" locations from ancient to modern times. These "great feats of engineering, technology, and culture"[1] are revealed through the use of archaeological evidence, interviews with relevant experts while examining the sites, and CGI reproductions.[2] These visual re-creations take the form of rendered 3D environments and photo manipulated overlays, allowing the "lost world" to be seen over its present-day state.

The Mediterranean was once home to some of the world's greatest ancient civilizations. Draining the sea unlocks the mysteries of their rise and fall. Which artifacts that they left behind lie hidden at its bottom today?
