Rome’s Buried Secrets Every year, millions of tourists make their way to Rome to take in some of the world’s oldest and most revered landmarks. They move from attraction to attraction with their guide maps and their cameras, completely unaware of what lies just beneath their feet. What they don’t know is that the earth below the city holds a labyrinth of secrets, a series of phenomena both natural and man-made that can explain why Rome has flourished for so long. Join Science Channel as we use cutting-edge technology to go deep beneath the streets of the Italian capital and uncover the ancient engineering feats that have kept the Eternal City thriving for centuries in Rome’s Buried Secrets Join Dr. Michael Scott as he returns to Rome seeking answers to many of the questions often asked by those who inhabit or visit the city: What’s the secret to Rome’s longevity? How has it passed the many tests of time while others crumbled under the same pressures? Is the foundation of the city strong enough to withstand a future of non-stop development and growth? On this journey, Dr. Scott gets an inside look at the city from some local archaeologists who know Rome to its core. But to take his research to the next level, Dr. Scott turns to Matt Shaw of ScanLAB Projects and his company’s 3D scanning technology. These scans not only allow Rome’s Buried Secrets to explore underground areas that would otherwise be inaccessible but it also maps out what is above ground in relation to these findings. This leads to revelations like the fact that a hundreds-year-old church is sitting just above one of the city’s many underground quarries. This innovative technology has opened up doors into the past that were previously locked, hiding a side of Rome filled with mystery and science. Rome’s Buried Secrets is a deep dive into the roots of the city that has stood for centuries as a beacon of civilization and prosperity.
