Around The World In Eighty Treasures ...



Just saw this advertised on the ABC ....
A new series begins 7:30pm Saturday, 10 Feb 2007
"Around The World In Eighty Treasures"

From the Taj Mahal to the Statue of Liberty, the Parthenon to the Great Wall of China, historian and TV presenter Dan Cruickshank embarks on a monumental challenge - to journey non-stop across the globe in search of the most significant man-made treasures on the planet.

Intimate and engaging, this series sees Cruickshank chart the rise and fall of many of the world's great civilisations, creating a unique picture of humankind, and celebrating the world as a diverse treasure house of art and ancient artefacts.

Travelling on an epic round-the-world trip to 40 countries Dan risks life and limb to reach and showcase some of our most remote and revered treasures.

From the castles of Japan to the Nazca lines in Peru, from Persepolis in Iran to the Sydney Opera House, this is a rare chance to share Dan's wonderment at the sheer majesty and beauty of humankind's creative powers.
