	Around the World in 80 Treasures - Dan Cruickshank Dan Cruickshank travels through 36 countries in four and a half months to tell the story of civilisation through the world's greatest treasures. Whether standing before the solemn heads of Easter Island, investigating the mysterious Nazca lines in Peru, visiting the rock churches of Ethiopia or the magnificent temple of Borobodur in Java, Dan is never less than fascinating about the origins, construction, mysteries and vicissitudes of each of these monuments to the great civilisations of the world. Do they live up to expectation? Have they been left in ruin, or over-restored? Dan's diary, written at the end of each day, records his most intimate thoughts and feelings, the people he has met, the ups and downs of the journey, perils, joys, and the ongoing relationships formed on the road. Around the World in Eighty Treasures is a riveting story of adventure and the pursuit of knowledge.
