Space Archaeology
Brian Cox and Robin Ince are joined by Sara Pascoe, Prof Alice Roberts and Dr Sarah Parcak as they find out how space satellites and genetics are helping us uncover our past.
Brian Cox and Robin Ince are joined by comedian and writer Sara Pascoe, biological anthropologist Alice Roberts and space archaeologist Sarah Parcak. They look at how archaeology today looks far more Star Wars than Indiana Jones, as an archaeologist's list of kit can now include satellites and lasers. They discover how searching for clues from space has led to the discovery of several ancient lost Egyptian cities and how the study of ancient DNA and artefacts reveals our similarities, not differences, with our ancient forebears.
