Arlington,
Va. – October 17, 2018 – PBS Distribution announces the release
of “ANCIENT
INVISIBLE CITIES” available
on DVD November 13. Professor Darius
Arya leads viewers off-the-beaten path through three of the world’s most
astonishing ancient cities – Athens, Cairo and Istanbul – to bring a
fascinating, fresh perspective to more than 4,000 years of history. These three
ancient cities formed the bedrock of human civilization throughout the ages and
are steeped in history. Long-forgotten secrets, enigmatic structures and
mysterious buried treasures are hidden beneath these exciting cityscapes where
each new civilization, each new generation, has added its own layers to the rich
tapestry of the city.
“ANCIENT
INVISIBLE CITIES” will be available on DVD ($24.99 SRP) November 13, 2018. The program has a
run time of approximately 165 minutes.
The program is currently available for download on iTunes and Prime Video.
Armed
with a cutting-edge arsenal of high-definition 3D scanners, sub-sea LiDAR and
multi-spectral images, Arya takes viewers behind the scenes of these three
metropolises. Each scan uncovers ancient architectural and technological
achievements in a new way, illuminating just how these structures continue to
exist after thousands of years.
Each
episode culminates in an augmented reality adventure, in which Arya steps
inside a hologram and interacts with breath-taking visualizations of the past
while set in present-day locations. Following each episode, Arya invites the
viewer to explore these sites themselves at home with VR technology. Descending
beneath the streets and off-the-beaten path,
“ANCIENT
INVISIBLE CITIES” exposes these fascinating places, as they’ve never
been seen before.
