About this product

Product Information

Dan Cruickshank's quest is to tell the story of civilisation through the greatest of man's achievements. It will also be the story of his travels, and who and what he meets along the way. Whether standing before the solemn heads of Easter Island, investigating the mysterious Nazca lines in Peru 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 80 Treasures is a riveting story of adventure and the pursuit of knowledge.

  • Great follow up to tv series

    Having been fortunate to visit 36 of the 80 treasures it had a personal appeal but it was also interesting to read why these particular ‘treasures’ were chosen. As with every list there are some I would have excluded and others I feel were missed but this is not my list but never the less is an excellent insight into the history of cultures from around the world.
