Ghosts of Ancient Venice

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.   Learn more about your ad choices.
