Ghosts of Ancient Venice

Ghosts of Ancient Venice26 jul41 min

Venice is one of the world’s most iconic

cities. Built on unstable islands in a lagoon, it seems to defy the laws of physics.

Can its ancient origins reveal why it is created here and how it is still

standing?

Today scientists use pioneering technology to

scan the canals, and dive into the lagoon to hunt for clues to Venice’s dark

history.

How does the city become so powerful? And how

will scientists stop it from sinking?

Using immersive CGI we digitally deconstruct Venice’s

landmarks, uncovering sunken ships and mass graves, to reveal the secrets of

this magnificent floating city.
