The Maya Civilization has baffled historians for centuries with its unprecedented prowess in Math, Astronomy, and Engineering. All that was left of the Maya seemed to only be the ruins of giant pyramids, but the most recent discoveries from archaeological excavations reveal much more: lost citadels in the Guatemalan jungle found around Tikal, a sacred cenote at Chichen Itza, and underground network of tunnels discovered at Teotihuacan. How were these ancient people able to build such structure, and what was their purpose? With the development and implication of new technologies (Lidar system and electrical resistivity tomography), we will try to answer the questions raised by these megastructures of stone. Through detailed CGI reconstitution, this series brings to life the Maya people, their gods, and the long lost secrets of their way of life.

SECRETS OF THE THIRD REICH
IL PROGRAMMA: Adolf Hitler si fingeva povero ma in realtà aveva accumulato un’ingente fortuna privata, esercitava un gran fascino sulle donne, ma era attratto soprattutto da quelle più fragili e vulnerabili; un antenato di Himmler fu arso sul rogo come stregone nel 17° secolo, mentre Albert Speer era un bugiardo patologico. Quanti sono i segreti che avvolgono le vite dei più famosi gerarchi nazisti? E quanto sappiamo davvero sulle loro abitudini e vite private? “Gli ultimi segreti del Terzo Reich” ci racconta nel dettaglio gli aspetti meno noti dei più grandi gerarchi del nazismo da Hitler a Rommel, da Albert Speer a Himmler. Nel corso di sei episodi conosceremo le origini, la vita privata del Fuhrer e il suo complesso rapporto con le donne, scopriremo il vero volto dell’architetto Albert Speer, bugiardo d’eccezione, e sveleremo la doppia faccia del fedele braccio destro del Terzo Reich, Eric Rommel. Se pensate che sia stato detto tutto sul nazismo e i suoi protagonisti. Questa serie vi farà ricredere!
