How to Build a Dinosaur
2011 60 min 2 vues
Dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago and we have hardly ever found a complete skeleton. So how do we turn a pile of broken bones into a dinosaur exhibit? Dr Alice Roberts finds out how the experts put skeletons back together, with muscles, accurate postures, and even - in some cases - the correct skin color. Here's a conundrum. Most dinosaur skeletons are incomplete, so how do you create museum exhibits that are realistic? As Dr Alice Roberts discovers, it's a practical question for those putting together an exhibition at LA County's Natural History Museum, who have to design dynamic, punter-pleasing displays that also reflect the latest thinking in paleontology circles.

For one night only, Professor Brian Cox goes unplugged in a specially recorded programme from the lecture theatre of the Royal Institution of Great Britain. In his own inimitable style, Brian takes an audience of famous faces, scientists and members of the public on a journey through some of the most challenging concepts in physics. With the help of Jonathan Ross, Simon Pegg, Sarah Millican and James May, Brian shows how diamonds - the hardest material in nature - are made up of nothingness; how things can be in an infinite number of places at once; why everything we see or touch in the universe exists; and how a diamond in the heart of London is in communication with the largest diamond in the cosmos.

À Must Farm, dans la région de Cambridge en Angleterre, un chantier de fouilles archéologiques est en train d'exhumer un village entier, comme figé dans le temps. Le marais sur lequel il était installé a contribué à le préserver de l'incendie qui s'y était déclaré. De plus, ses boues ont conservé intactes les nombreuses possessions de ses lointains habitants. Cette découverte exceptionnelle, qui révèle dans le détail à quoi pouvait ressembler le quotidien de nos ancêtres il y a trois mille ans, vaut à Must Farm d'être comparé par les archéologues au site de Pompéi. Car l’engloutissement du village par le marais l'a privé du contact de l’oxygène, le protégeant des agressions du temps. Sur place, on trouve par exemple la plus ancienne roue découverte sur le sol britannique, mais aussi des restes de repas, des épées ou des outils pour fabriquer des vêtements... Autant d'éléments qui aident les archéologues à préciser les liens qu’entretenaient entre elles les populations européennes à...

Au premier millénaire avant Jésus-Christ, la civilisation celtique dominait toute l'Europe, des îles Britanniques aux hauts plateaux d'Anatolie. Répartie sur l'ensemble du continent, elle était constituée d'une coalition de tribus se regroupant uniquement en cas de danger. Ces peuples n'ayant pas laissé de traces écrites de leur histoire, ils ont longtemps été perçus comme les "barbares" décrits par leurs ennemis grecs et romains. Un préjugé erroné, que l'avancée des connaissances et des technologies permet de démentir. Le point en trois volets sur ces nouvelles découvertes.

A new Channel 4 series takes archaeology to the edge this summer as a team of experts tackles sites across the country that are beyond the reach of normal investigations. In Extreme Archaeology, an eight-part series starting on 20 June, a team of archaeologists with help from top climbers, cavers and divers investigates amazing and unique archaeological sites throughout the UK. Many archaeological locations are beyond the reach of your average archaeologist. They are found in inaccessible caves, on treacherous cliffs, deep under water, or in locations simply too remote or dangerous for normal investigation. Their remoteness often means that their secrets are unique, but they can also be under threat from erosion or other factors and this adds a rescue element to any investigation. Using some of the most advanced scientific equipment available, and high-tech miniature cameras and communication systems to record the action, Extreme Archaeology's experts are dropped into extreme and inaccessible environments under time and other pressures that test their personal and professional skills to the limit.
