Before our eyes, a forgotten palace reappears, a thousand-year-old civilization is discovered under a new light…

More than 600 years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang reigns over all of China after defying the Mongols. Victorious, he builds a political movement, proclaims himself emperor and founds, in the same year, the Ming dynasty, and at this occasion the return of a Chinese family at the head of the Empire. But his desire for greatness did not stop there: he decided to build an imperial city, the first Forbidden City.

2021. 2021. For 5 years, Chinese archaeologists have been mobilizing important means to discover the history of this site and start ambitious reconstruction operations. The studied city turns out to be gigantic, even more important than the Forbidden City of Beijing!
