About Time Scanners
This is your chance to reach out and touch the past! Just as a forensic anthropologist analyses bones, and a historian deciphers ancient texts, we now have the technology to "read" the buildings, ruins and landscapes where history was made. The series, presented by Dallas Campbell, teams Steve Burrows (pictured), the brains behind the Birdโs Nest Stadium in Beijing, with a team of pioneering laser scanning experts from the Centre for Advanced Spatial Technologies to unlock the secrets of the worldโs greatest engineering and cultural achievements. Locations include the Colosseum, Petra, Machu Picchu, St. Paulโs Cathedral, the Pyramids and Jerusalem.
