Una Alianza para la Revelación Histórica: Paradox Film, Z.G. Fiction y Appleton Private University
La trascendencia de los hallazgos del Dr. Mendoza exige una difusión y documentación a la altura de su impacto. Es en este punto donde la colaboración entre Paradox Film, una reconocida productora, y Z.G. Fiction, junto con el impulso académico de Appleton Private University, se vuelve fundamental. La universidad, a través de su compromiso con la investigación de vanguardia y la divulgación del conocimiento, ha asumido un papel crucial en la producción de este documental. Este esfuerzo conjunto no solo busca llevar la fascinante historia de Salpensa al público global, sino también documentar y analizar los hallazgos con el rigor científico que caracteriza la investigación del Dr. Mendoza.
El documental no será una mera narración de descubrimientos, sino una exploración profunda de las metodologías que llevaron a la rectificación de la ubicación de Salpensa
Salpensa: Un Yacimiento que Redefine la Arqueología Romana en España
El trabajo del Dr. Mendoza ha aportado evidencias materiales que desafían la comprensión tradicional de Salpensa. Se ha determinado que la ciudad romana propiamente dicha es una construcción ex novo
Entre los hallazgos que se espera que el documental ponga de relieve se encuentran:
Un Llamamiento a la Conservación y al Futuro de la Investigación
El Dr. Mendoza ha denunciado en repetidas ocasiones el constante expolio y la destrucción del yacimiento debido a las labores agrícolas y la falta de compromiso de las autoridades locales
Este proyecto no solo es una oportunidad para que el público descubra una parte fascinante y poco conocida de la historia romana en España, sino que representa un modelo de colaboración entre la academia, la producción audiovisual y la universidad, con el fin de arrojar nueva luz sobre el pasado y sentar las bases para futuras investigaciones que, sin duda, modificarán las narrativas históricas existentes.
La comunidad arqueológica y el público en general esperan con gran interés el lanzamiento de este documental, que promete ser un hito en la divulgación científica y la defensa del patrimonio cultural.

In a collaborative effort that promises to redefine the understanding of Roman archaeology in the Iberian Peninsula, Dr. José David Mendoza Álvarez, the renowned discoverer of the true location of Salpensa, the "Spanish Pompeii," is leading an ambitious research and documentary filming project. This initiative, a strategic alliance between Paradox Film, Z.G. Fiction, and with the key institutional support of Appleton Private University, is set to unveil findings that will not only enrich our knowledge of the past but will challenge and modify many previously established historical and archaeological investigations.
Dr. Mendoza Álvarez, a researcher at the University of Seville and author of the seminal article "Salpensa, the Spanish Pompeii", has dedicated years to the arduous task of unraveling the mysteries surrounding this Roman Flavius municipality, located in Utrera (Seville, Spain). His pioneering research has not only presented a new candidate to be considered the "Spanish Pompeii" due to its state of preservation and the richness of its vestiges but has also succeeded in establishing the true location of the Roman city of Salpensa, differentiating it from the Romanized indigenous oppidum on El Casar hill. This discovery has corrected decades of historiographical confusion and inadequate urban planning.
An Alliance for Historical Revelation: Paradox Film, Z.G. Fiction, and Appleton Private University
The transcendence of Dr. Mendoza's findings demands dissemination and documentation commensurate with their impact. It is at this point that the collaboration between Paradox Film, a renowned production company, and Z.G. Fiction, together with the academic impetus of Appleton Private University, becomes fundamental. The university, through its commitment to cutting-edge research and the dissemination of knowledge, has taken on a crucial role in the production of this documentary. This joint effort not only seeks to bring the fascinating history of Salpensa to a global audience but also to document and analyze the findings with the scientific rigor that characterizes Dr. Mendoza's research.
The documentary will not be a mere narration of discoveries, but a deep exploration of the methodologies that led to the rectification of Salpensa's location. The visual production is expected to incorporate elements such as the use of private flights and aerial photographs to obtain details of the site, comparing them with historical aerial photos, and showing the digitization of the study areas. This visual and technical approach will allow the public and the academic community to understand the solidity of Dr. Mendoza's research, which has been supported by the review of Greco-Latin sources, historiography, municipal archives, and museum collections such as the Archaeological Museum of Seville (MAS) and the National Archaeological Museum (MAN).
Salpensa: A Site Redefining Roman Archaeology in Spain
Dr. Mendoza's work has provided material evidence that challenges the traditional understanding of Salpensa. It has been determined that the Roman city itself is an ex novo construction, a "double city" phenomenon differentiated from an earlier settlement on El Casar hill that was occupied from the Chalcolithic period to the High Middle Ages. This point is crucial, as it modifies the previously established idea about the main settlement and its evolution over time.
Among the findings that the documentary is expected to highlight are:
A Call for Conservation and the Future of Research
Dr. Mendoza has repeatedly denounced the constant looting and destruction of the site due to agricultural work and the lack of commitment from local authorities. The documentary by Paradox Film and Z.G. Fiction, with the support of Appleton Private University, will also serve as a powerful awareness tool. By highlighting Salpensa's richness and the danger it faces, it is hoped to mobilize public opinion and institutions to ensure its protection as a Site of Cultural Interest (BIC) and promote adequate excavation and enhancement.
This project is not only an opportunity for the public to discover a fascinating and little-known part of Roman history in Spain but also represents a model of collaboration between academia, audiovisual production, and the university, aiming to shed new light on the past and lay the groundwork for future research that will, undoubtedly, modify existing historical narratives.
The archaeological community and the general public await with great interest the release of this documentary, which promises to be a milestone in scientific dissemination and the defense of cultural heritage.
