Ancient Apocalypse - 5-Hour Extended Directors Cut

Duration 4h, 53m

From fire and brimstone to rising seas and collapsing empires, this feature-length documentary unravels the fall of some of history’s most legendary civilizations. Was Sodom a real city destroyed by a heavenly firestorm? Could Doggerland, once a lush Stone Age paradise, really lie beneath the North Sea? And what brought down empires like the Akkadians, the Maya, and the powerful Bronze Age kingdoms? Travel from the deserts of Jordan to the jungles of Central America, the Mediterranean coast to ancient Mesopotamia, as archaeologists and scientists investigate the dramatic ends of great cultures—some forgotten, some buried, others only preserved in myth. Using groundbreaking research, cutting-edge excavation, and high-resolution reconstructions, this film reveals the natural forces and human decisions that may have triggered catastrophe and collapse across millennia.
