Unearthing Secrets: How Modern Technology Reveals Our Ancient Past

The video explores how advanced technology is revolutionizing archaeology. It begins with the study of CRO Magnon Man's skull at the Natural History Museum of Paris, using advanced scanners to reconstruct his brain. The video then discusses DNA analysis in Spain and England, revealing ancient human features. Finally, it highlights the use of Lidar technology in Cambodia to uncover the secrets of Angkor, a vast archaeological site. These technological innovations provide new insights into our ancestors and ancient civilizations.
