Building Bibracte: The Mega-Fortress That Defied Rome - Full Documentary

🏔️🏛️ A lost city. A mountain fortress. A forgotten capital of Gaul.

Deep in the forests of Burgundy, France, lies the forgotten city of Bibracte—the mighty capital of the Aedui, one of Gaul’s most powerful tribes. Dormant for nearly 2,000 years, this mountain fortress city has finally revealed its secrets through archaeology, LIDAR mapping, and groundbreaking excavations.

What did this city of 10,000 inhabitants look like? How did its builders raise impenetrable fortifications at a time when no other Gallic city had such defenses? Why did its people suddenly abandon their thriving capital at the height of its power?

This documentary uncovers the ingenious architecture of the Gauls, including hydraulic systems, monumental forums, and basilicas that show the rise of Roman influence in Gaul. Through spectacular reconstructions and expert investigations, witness how Bibracte shaped history at the turning point of the Gallic and Roman worlds.

⚔️ Bibracte was not just a city—it was a megastructure, a political powerhouse, and the symbol of a lost civilization.

The documentary has english subtitles as well as many more languages.
