From the Mayan Cities to Siena | Wonders of the World

Ancient Civilizations

This documentary episode takes viewers on a global journey to explore unique architectural, historical, and natural wonders of the world. The expedition begins at the ancient Mayan fortress cities of Tulum and Coba on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, examining monumental stone temples, palaces, and post-classic frescoes. The journey then transitions to the Gothic architectural heritage of France's Royaumont Abbey, followed by India's massive Sri Ranganathaswamy Hindu Temple in Trichy, which is dedicated to Vishnu. Next, the film captures the extreme desert topography of California's Death Valley and Chile's Atacama Desert before concluding with an architectural tour through the neoclassical historic center of Madrid, China's classical UNESCO-listed gardens in Suzhou, and the striking black-and-white marbled Duomo Cathedral in Siena, Italy.
