"Thanks to the latest innovations, archeology is so much more visually impressive, scientists can make conclusions much faster and make the stones speak. The adventure of the archeology mixed with state of the art CGI to bring back ancient worlds to life makes very good television."
With astonishing 3D and CGI, and high-quality animations, this new series takes the viewers to the far reaches of the Inca world, as if they were there themselves. Thanks to the latest scientific data and cinematic special effects, Inca monuments, including Machu Picchu, one of the seven wonders of the world, are reconstructed for the first time in photorealistic CGI to depict them as they were in the past.
Following the success of the 4-episode documentary series "Rise and Fall of the Maya," seen by over 7.7 million viewers in France to this day (in collaboration with National Geographic, ZDFI, ZDFS, TV5 Quebec and Histoire TV), RMC Découverte has once again placed its trust in Pernel Media to produce this ambitious docuseries.
From the Saqsaquayman fortress to the lost city of Vilcabamba, passing through Lake Titicaca and the Machu Picchu archaeological site, international scientists take us on a journey to uncover the last mysteries of the Inca civilization, which reigned over Central America from the 15th to the 16th century. These extraordinary discoveries rewrite Inca history, which has been distorted by biased Spanish accounts. For the first time, the story of the Inca empire is told through the eyes of the four emperors who successively led it.
