Around the world, and throughout time, people have built mythical and mysterious structures, from Tikal in Guatemala, the Holy Sepulchre in Israel, Chichen Itza in Mexico, the Sphinx in Egypt, Notre Dame de Paris, and the Château de Chambord. 　　In the third season of Ancient Superstructures, we delve into the more legendary ancient structures to decipher their secrets. These monuments impress with their immense size and remarkable architecture. 　　How and why were they built, what makes them significant, and how have they survived the centuries ? Beyond the superficial appearance, what are the mysteries that surround them ?
