Documentary, Smithsonian Channel, Stonehenge Empire Stonehenge empire The "Stonehenge Empire" refers to a documentary project that aimed to explore the history and significance of Stonehenge. The BBC collaborated with TV channels in the US, Canada, France, Austria, and Germany to commission the film, which included re-enactments of Neolithic people dragging the stones to the site near Amesbury. The documentary used CGI to recreate scenes of thousands working on the stones and aimed to reveal Stonehenge as the epicenter of a sophisticated ancient civilization.
The film was part of a larger project that involved a ten-year investigation into the stones and was expected to be screened later in the year of its production. It was also mentioned that the documentary would use the latest archaeological discoveries to provide a deeper understanding of the people who built Stonehenge.
Additionally, there was a TV series titled "Operation Stonehenge: What Lies Beneath" which followed a group of international scientists using state-of-the-art approaches to unlock the secrets of Stonehenge. Another related production, "Stonehenge Empire," was available on Apple TV and described as a high-tech exploration of the site's mysteries.
The documentary was also linked to a book titled "How to Build Stonehenge," which discussed the legacy of the British Empire in contributing to alternative theories about how the monument was constructed
