Lost Worlds is a documentary television series by the History Channel that explores a variety of "lost" locations from ancient to modern times. These "great feats of engineering, technology, and culture"[1] are revealed through the use of archaeological evidence, interviews with relevant experts while examining the sites, and CGI reproductions.[2] These visual re-creations take the form of rendered 3D environments and photo manipulated overlays, allowing the "lost world" to be seen over its present-day state.
The pilot episode "Palenque: Metropolis of the Maya" was first aired on April 4, 2005. It was followed by 12 more episodes in 2006, and a further 19 episodes in 2007.
