Nazcas, les lignes qui parlaient au ciel
Dans le sud du Pérou, au pied de la cordillère des Andes, dans l’une des régions les plus inhospitalières du monde, des vestiges fabuleux d’une ancienne civilisation défient le temps. Les Nazcas y ont bâti des cités, tracé un immense réseau de lignes géométriques et d’incroyables géoglyphes.
Durant presque mille ans, sans jamais dévoiler leurs secrets, ces dessins ont survécu aux tremblements de terre, aux vents et aux pluies diluviennes. A qui s’adressaient ces figures énigmatiques uniquement visibles du ciel et quelle était leur signification ?
Aujourd’hui, une équipe d’archéologues venus du monde entier utilisent les dernières technologies pour lever le voile sur l’un des plus grands secrets de l’humanité. Leurs nouvelles campagnes de fouilles ont mis au jour de nouvelles momies, de fabuleux tissus, des céramiques et de mystérieux crânes allongés. Grâce aux analyses ADN et isotopes, aux scanners, aux microscopes 3D et à la réalité augmentée, que vont nous révéler ces précieuses découvertes ?
Season 11 of Science grand format premieres in 12 days, on September 10, 2026, and the timing could not be better for viewers who like their prime-time television to feel both spectacular and genuinely informative. The long-running French documentary collection returns with a new run dedicated to major discoveries, scientific mysteries and historical investigations, opening with an ambitious space odyssey before turning to one of the most mythologized episodes in European history: Julius Caesar’s victory over the Gauls and Vercingetorix. If you follow factual series on BetaSeries, this is exactly the kind of premiere you will want to track early, because Season 11 already looks designed for viewers who enjoy documentaries that combine accessible storytelling with cutting-edge research.
For lapsed viewers, here is all you really need to remember before the new season begins. Science grand format is not a traditional serialized show with characters, cliffhangers or a single ongoing plot. Across its previous ten seasons and hundreds of episodes, the series has built its identity around standalone documentary events: French productions and international co-productions that explore archaeology, space, nature, ancient civilizations, technology and the big scientific questions shaping how we understand the world. It sits comfortably alongside programs such as Découverte, Le Monde de Jamy, Zeste de Science, The Complete Cosmos, Exploring Space or Ancient X-Files, but with a prime-time scale and a taste for immersive investigations.
That format is a real advantage heading into Season 11. You do not need to rewatch 349 episodes to be ready for the premiere. Instead, you can jump straight into the new season and let each episode function as its own expedition. What carries over from past seasons is the series’ core promise: experts, researchers, archaeologists, historians and scientists guide viewers through discoveries in progress, often challenging received ideas. The pleasure of Science grand format is not simply learning a fact; it is watching knowledge being tested, reconstructed and sometimes overturned.
