Where to watch "Time Scanners"
6. Machu Picchu
No release date yet
Structural engineer Steve Burrows leads a team of laser-scanning experts into the Peruvian jungle to scan the sacred Inca city of Machu Picchu. Using cutting-edge, 3D laser-scanning technology he wants to explore three main questions. How did the Inca build a city atop a mountain ridge? How were the terraces constructed? And how did they supply water to the city?
5. Jerusalem
No release date yet
How do the pasts greatest buildings measure up in the 21st century? Time Scanners aims to use the latest laser scanning technology to gain a brand new perspective on these iconic engineering creations. In this episode the team sets out to explore the epic building legacy of Jerusalem. From the vast walls of the Temple Mount, to the incredible manmade mountain of Herodium, they plan to use cutting edge 21st century technology to analyze construction made at the time of Christ.
4. Colosseum

Structural engineer Steve Burrows leads a team of laser-scanning experts to Rome in Italy on a quest to explore mysteries at the Colosseum. Using cutting-edge 3D laser-scanning technology, the team wants to answer three questions. Did it have a roof? How did the Romans produce some of the most impressive gladiatorial games ever seen in Europe? Finally, how does the structure of the Colosseum compare against todays modern sports stadiums?
3. Egyptian Pyramids

2. St. Paul's Cathedral
No release date yet
The venture inside the majestic dome to explore its ground-breaking 3-part structure with their state-of-the-art equipment, discover how the cathedrals architect Sir Christopher Wren overcame unstable foundations and immense structural forces to support his dome, and investigate how the cathedral survived a direct hit by a German bomb during the London Blitz.
1. Petra
No release date yet
Structural engineer Steve Burrows leads his team of laser-scanning experts to Jordan in the Middle East, to scan the ancient desert city of Petra. Using cutting-edge 3D laser-scanning technology he wants to answer three main questions. How did Nabatean stonemasons carve Petra’s largest building – the Monastery – out of a mountainside? Was Petra’s city centre - the “Southern Terrace” all built at the same time, as part of a single vast civil engineering project? And what secrets lie hidden underneath the Monastery’s huge courtyard? The team’s laser scans bring fresh answers and breathtaking new finds to this ancient city.
