  • Ancient Superstructures Season 2 - The Louvre
    In the centre of Paris stands a wonder of engineering - the Louvre. This super-sized structure is now the largest museum in the world, attracting more than 10 million people every year. Now investigators are using new technology, including technical drones, to examine this monument at the satellite, aerial and molecular scales and unravel the astonishing past life of the building. How did this 243,000 square meter building evolve from a small medieval castle into a marvel of modern engineering?

    ❤ I love the Lourve and Paris so much I could watch this documentary many times over. I'm almost brought to tears of joy especially seeing the aerial views. ❤ I've been 7 times in the last 12 years and can't wait for my next visit. This documentary insight only will enrich the experience.

    This is a challenging watch and I was not able to finish it.
    "Its, so big", "what secrets it holds", "satelite scale", "molecular scale".. over and over and over..
    The script is like it's created by a random AI.

    Fascinating but the constant repetition throughout is not only tedious and irritating but detracts from the overall documentary. The flash transitions between scenes are unpleasant on the eye.

    I visited Lorre two weeks ago. I stayed 9:30 - 18:00 but I saw only one third of objects. I was very excited with seeing my favorite things. I visited it many times but I never stayed so long in one day. This time I paid more attention to Italian paintings. Since I was there this video provides perspective of building structures which I have been interested in.

    Every knowledgeable speaker in this video regarding various components of the building were excellent, very clear, scientific, factual and instructional ... the reason I came to watch this. The overdubbed voice playing the role of the 'host' ... should be fired as should the writer of every word he said. Very severe repetition and over exaggerated pompous, History Channel bombast filler, of absolutely nothing of any value whatsoever.
    Half the time he literally immediately repeats what the expert just said, or repeats the same flat broad statements regarding the building and its importance or history. Literally, once would do to hear how important the place is. Completely destroyed my enjoyment of the info presented here.

      Standard American OTT narration - so annoying. Everything is 'GEE WOW!' Like it's the most dramatic info in the universe. Best way to watch is to switch off the audio and activate the closed captions and just read it. If this was shown on TV they'd repeat stuff in case you 'tuned in' after the beginning and missed info and to remind viewers what they're watching after the ads.

    Love to hear the curators and historians talk but the narrator really loves to allude to "secrets" and "mysteries" only to have the experts explain very plainly what has been known for centuries. Also, isn't "macroscopic scale" just... Looking at something with your bare eye? Was the narrator hit in the head with a thesaurus and did this result in a compulsive need to use superlatives to describe everything?
