La fascinación por el antiguo Egipto se remonta a hace siglos. Las pirámides de los faraones y la esfinge de Guiza son monumentos fabulosos representativos de su gloria pasada, pero, según la científica Sarah Parcak, lo ya descubierto es solo una pequeñísima parte de lo que en realidad existe. Este especial llevará de viaje a los espectadores para descubrir la historia del antiguo Egipto. Mediante el uso de tecnología satélite de vanguardia e imágenes tanto de alta resolución como infrarrojas, la Dra. Parcak y su equipo podrán ver debajo de la arena, e intentarán utilizar esta nueva información para crear el mapa del antiguo Egipto más completo de la Historia. Por primera vez, gracias a un asombroso trabajo de CGI basado en datos, recorrer el antiguo Egipto se convertirá en una aventura cinematográfica que podría reconfigurar nuestra visión de aquella civilización.

National Geographic Explorer and TED Prize-winner Dr. Sarah Parcak welcomes you to the exciting new world of space archaeology, a growing field that is sparking extraordinary discoveries from ancient civilizations across the globe.In Archaeology from Space, Sarah Parcak shows the evolution, major discoveries, and future potential of the young field of satellite archaeology. From surprise advancements after the declassification of spy photography, to a new map of the mythical Egyptian city of Tanis, she shares her field’s biggest discoveries, revealing why space archaeology is not only exciting, but urgently essential to the preservation of the world’s ancient treasures.Parcak has worked in twelve countries and four continents, using multispectral and high-resolution satellite imagery to identify thousands of previously unknown settlements, roads, fortresses, palaces, tombs, and even potential pyramids. From there, her stories take us back in time and across borders, into the day-to-day lives of ancient humans whose traits and genes we share. And she shows us that if we heed the lessons of the past, we can shape a vibrant future.Sarah Parcak is a Professor of Anthropology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, CEO of Globalxplorer, and Director of the Joint Mission to Lisht (Egypt). Her remote sensing work has been the focus of three BBC specials covering Egypt, ancient Rome, and the Vikings. She is a Fellow in the Society of Antiquaries, a 2014 TED Senior Fellow, the winner of the 2016 TED Prize, and a National Geographic Fellow.www.globalxplorer.org

In her new book “Archaeology from Space: How the Future Shapes Our Past” National Geographic Explorer and TED Prize-winner Dr. Sarah Parcak shows the evolution, major discoveries and future potential of the new field of satellite archaeology. From surprise advancements after the declassification of spy photography, to a new map of the mythical Egyptian city of Tanis, she shares her field’s biggest discoveries, revealing why space archaeology is not only exciting, but urgently essential to the preservation of the world’s ancient treasures. Join us for a wide-ranging discussion with Dr. Parcak on the achievements and possibilities of satellite archaeology in this installment of “Leonard Lopate at Large” on WBAI.

Archaeologist Sarah Parcak says she's seen satellites that can see up to 100 meters in depth into water. Parcak says space imaging helps to gain data on water movement around ships.Want to support 1A? Give to your local public radio station and subscribe to this podcast. Have questions?

Dr. Sarah Parcak explains how she uses satellite images to locate archeological sites, and how it's her job to be a detective, piecing together clues to uncover the past. She also talks about GlobalXplorer, a non-profit that lets everyone be a space archeologist.

Sarah Parcak uses satellites orbiting hundreds of miles above Earth to uncover hidden ancient treasures buried beneath our feet. There's a lot to discover; in the Egyptian Delta alone, Parcak estimates we've excavated less than a thousandth of one percent of what's out there. Now, with the 2016 TED Prize and an infectious enthusiasm for archaeology, she's developed an online platform called GlobalXplorer that enables anyone with an internet connection to discover unknown sites and protect what remains of our shared human inheritance.

Sarah Parcak usa satélites que orbitan cientos de kilómetros sobre la Tierra para descubrir tesoros antiguos ocultos enterrados bajo nuestros pies. Hay mucho por descubrir; solo en el delta egipcio, Parcak calcula que hemos excavado menos de una milésima parte del uno por ciento de lo que hay allí. Ahora, con el Premio TED 2016 y un entusiasmo contagioso por la arqueología, ha desarrollado una plataforma en línea llamada GlobalXplorer que permite a cualquier persona con conexión a Internet descubrir sitios desconocidos y proteger lo que queda de nuestra herencia humana compartida.

Sarah Parcak usa satélites em órbita a centenas de quilômetros sobre a Terra para descobrir antigos tesouros escondidos, enterrados sob nossos pés. Há muito a ser descoberto; apenas no delta egípcio, Parcak calcula que escavamos menos de 0,001% do que existe por lá. Agora, com o Prêmio TED 2016 e seu entusiasmo contagioso pela arqueologia, ela desenvolveu uma plataforma on-line, chamada GlobalXplorer, que permite a qualquer pessoa com acesso à internet descobrir sítios desconhecidos e proteger o que resta da nossa herança humana compartilhada.

Around the world, hundreds of thousands of lost ancient sites lie buried and hidden from view. Satellite archaeologist Sarah Parcak is determined to find them before looters do. With the 2016 TED Prize, Parcak is building an online citizen-science tool called GlobalXplorer that will train an army of volunteer explorers to find and protect the world's hidden heritage. In this talk, she offers a preview of the first place they'll look: Peru -- the home of Machu Picchu, the Nazca lines and other archaeological wonders waiting to be discovered.

Weltweit liegen hunderttausende verlorener alter Stätten vergraben unsichtbar unter der Erde versteckt. Die Luftbildarchäologin Sarah Parcak ist entschlossen, diese zu finden, bevor sie geplündert werden. Mit Hilfe des TED-Prize 2016 erstellt Parcak ein Online-Instrument names GlobalXplorer, das ein Heer an freiwilligen Helfern ausbilden wird, das versteckte Welterbe zu finden und zu schützen. In diesem Vortrag bietet sie eine Vorschau auf das erste Land, das untersucht wird: Peru – die Heimat des Machu Picchu, der Nazca-Linien und anderer archäologischer Wunder, die auf ihre Entdeckung warten.

En todo el mundo cientos de miles de sitios antiguos perdidos están enterrados y ocultos. La arqueóloga Sarah Parcak está decidida a encontrarlos antes de que lo hagan los saqueadores. Con el Premio TED 2016, Parcak construye una herramienta de ciencia ciudadana en línea llamada GlobalXplorer que permitirá formar un ejército de voluntarios exploradores para encontrar y proteger el patrimonio oculto del mundo. En esta charla ella ofrece una vista previa del primer lugar que analizarán: Perú, el hogar de Machupicchu, las líneas de Nazca y otras maravillas arqueológicas que esperan ser descubiertas.

No mundo, milhares de antigos sítios arqueológicos continuam enterrados e escondidos. A arqueóloga espacial Sarah Parcak está determinada a encontrá-los antes que saqueadores o façam. Com o Prêmio TED 2016, Parcak está construindo uma ferramenta on-line de ciência-cidadã, chamada GlobalXplorer, que vai treinar um exército de exploradores voluntários para encontrar e proteger esse legado escondido do mundo. Nesta palestra, ela oferece uma prévia do primeiro lugar onde vão procurar: o Peru - o lar de Machu Picchu, das Linhas Nazca e de outras maravilhas arqueológicas esperando para serem descobertas.

Des centaines de milliers de sites anciens perdus dans le monde demeurent enfouis et cachés. Sarah Parcak, archéologue spatiale, est déterminée à les trouver avant les pilleurs. Grâce au TED Prize obtenu en 2016, Parcak est en train de construire un outil de science participative appelé GlobalXplorer pour former une armée d'explorateurs bénévoles à trouver et à protéger ce patrimoine mondial caché. Dans cette présentation, elle nous donne un aperçu du lieu sur lequel ils vont se pencher en premier : le Pérou -- berceau du Machu Picchu, des géoglyphes de Nazca et d'autres merveilles à découvrir.
