Ancient Skies

3 x 60′ series
PBS, ZDFE
2019

With breathtaking CGI, beautiful landscape footage and some of the world’s most important astronomical artefacts, Ancient Skies looks at the cosmos through the eyes of our ancestors, charting our changing views of the cosmos throughout history.

We take a journey through past visions of the heavens from all over the world, and from the dawn of civilisation to the recent past. From hunter-gatherers to Edwin Hubble, we’ll see the myriad of ways that we have observed and chronicled the movements of the heavens. And with a cast of expert historians and astronomers, we explain the science behind the phenomena that our ancestors sought to explain through mythology.

Throughout the series, we use cutting-edge animation to demonstrate our ever-evolving understanding of how the universe works and our place in an ever-expanding cosmos.
