Imagine what scientists would conclude if they were to dig up the abandoned ruins of some of our greatest cities hundreds of years later?
This happened to the Romans, the Anasazi, and the Mayans, and it is inevitable that our own modern civilization will also die one day. In this two-hour special, learn how confused future civilizations might be about why the inhabitants of these once great cities would suddenly abandon their technology and architecture and turn their homes into ghost towns.
Some experts believe the risk of this happening is very real, and that the collapse of the world as we know it is closer than we think.
Examining similarities between cultures separated by hundreds of years, and examining whether finding renewable energy alternatives to our dwindling energy supplies and sustainable resources may be the key to preventing today’s global collapse. Can we learn from past mistakes before it’s too late?
