Today modern archaeology often works with digital technology. Geophysics has allowed thousands of ancient sites to be located – a huge gain for science.
The dig is no longer the be-all and end-all of archeology. We accompany some archeologists on their journey into the virtual past. Geophysics comprises a range of techniques with various geological and military functions. Geomagnetism is used to locate enemy submarines or potential reserves of oil or other minerals. Now, German and Irish archeologists have teamed up to use it to trace prehistoric grave systems. Researchers in western Germany are applying it to locate ancient procession and pilgrimage routes. Shipping archeologists in Bremerhaven are availing of digital technology to create virtual models of shipwrecks and, in Berlin, archeologists and game designers have also embarked on a joint project. As luck would have it, they scanned every millimeter of a temple in the Syrian city of Aleppo, not suspecting that, soon afterwards, the complex would be largely destroyed in the country’s civil war. Their virtual model is evidence that the study of the past can have uses for the present, just as technologies of the present can help us to study the past.

great .
Great documentariies. Keep it up please.
Indeed. I don’t see any of these hateful sorts focusing on such rich exploration into our pasts. I appreciate this indeed
I can never trust it when they say a culture had no written language when they build structure and design Art without the ability to communicate these ideas and plans. What if the Religious zealots actually burned all of the Beatles Catalogue? Right? ISIS is the latest example in the Modern World. They destroyed yet to be studied artifacts over 2000yrs old. Never to be known.
Awe, Spain….. in the nicest way possible, the pillagers of the Americas. At least the German man in this case acquired it legally.
everything is a grave mount. i must believe.
great video for training my intuition. cheers
This is what technology should be used for and not
Bombs and weapons by the millions of dollars and hidden from the very citizens that pay for it!
Grüße gehen raus an meine Mitbürger der Bundesrepublik Deutschland.
Ships don't help that much look for city's!
We are proof aliens exist
so thankful for people who achieved this its wonderful for the future generations who will be able to see antiquities destroyed by wars
9:15 I love the way the white child gets to trample all over the foreign cultural treasures. Perfect. Just MUA! SMFH
These burial mounds are on the same earth lateral lines as the mounds in Ohio, USA.
If you mark all the known locations I bet you’ll find more… especially across China
YouTube is turning into what television could have been: an extremely effective tool for learning and research. So cool
Huh, a final check, brilliant.
Nahh, they should return the dome and give the Germans the poor copy for use in the villa?
Very very very impressive technology. 🤝❤️
