Ancient ruins do not stand apart from the land around them. From Mesa Verde’s cliff dwellings and Maya cities in the jungle to Machu Picchu in the Andes, Petra carved into desert stone, the moai of Easter Island, Stonehenge, Angkor Wat, and the Great Wall, this film follows how terrain, climate, isolation, and stone shaped where civilizations built, how they protected themselves, and why some of these sites were later abandoned or left behind.
Documentary: Coolest Places On Earth - Season 1, Episode 9 - The World's Coolest Ruins: from Mexico to Cambodia
Production: Bellum Entertainment (2013)
