Ancient Megastructures

Each of these architectural feats represent a pinnacle of human achievement. Each is a product of ingenious solutions to seemingly impossible challenges.

The Great Pyramid of Giza. Angkor Wat, Cambodia. The Incan fortress Machu Picchu in Peru.

Each documentary chronicles how an astonishing building is constructed, following the science, engineering, and human aspects of their history of architecture.

These are dramatic epics, full of jeopardy, wrong-turns, and the flashes of inspiration that turn amazing dreams into an even more awesome reality.
