Dan CruickshankAround the World in 80 Treasures sees Dan Cruickshank and his team travel to over 40 countries over five
months to unearth some of the most treasured sights on the planet. Around the World in 80 Treasures is a 10 episode
series by the BBC and presented by Dan Cruickshank originally aired in February, March, and April 2005. The title is a
reference to Around the World in Eighty Days, the classic adventure novel by Jules Verne. In this series, Cruickshank
takes a five month world tour visiting his choices of the eighty greatest man-made treasures, including buildings and
artifacts. His tour takes him through 34 countries and 6 of the 7 continents (he does not visit Antarctica). In addition
to seeing some of the world's greatest treasures, Cruickshank tries many different kinds of food including testicle,
brain, and insects. His means of transportation included airplanes, trains, camel, donkey, foot, bicycle, scooter, hang
glider, and boats. Cruickshank's fondness of architecture is self-evident, with many of his chosen treasures being
buildings or other man-made structures.

and the town of Mesa Verde in Colorado - just some of the landmarks Dan Cruickshank explores as he continues his search
for man's most beautiful achievements. On a darker note he appraises the ruthlessly efficient 1851 Navy Colt
handgun."

Angkor in Cambodia."



Around the world in 80 trasures - Japan to China

Load episode Japan to China: "From swords of the samurai to the tranquillity of a temple, Dan Cruickshank experiences

finds peace in the Empress of China's marble boat."

Load episode India to Sri Lanka: "Fertility and sex get Dan Cruickshank's blood pumping as he grapples with a naked
ten-armed goddess in Calcutta, comes face 10 to face with triple-breasted goddess Menakshi and enters the world's
greatest temple of love - the Taj Mahal. To calm down, he finds enlightenment in the celestial city of Jaipur, and is
blessed by an elephant."



Around the world in 80 trasures - Uzbekistan to Syria

incisive Dan Cruickshank appraisal, before he moves on to scale a cliff face towards arguably the biggest archaeological
puzzles of the 19th century: the Bisitun carvings. The historian also takes in the remains of the great city of
Persepolis in modern day Iran, explores the exotic souk in Syrian capital Damascus, and then indulges himself with some
pampering at a hammam - the local steam bath."

Around the world in 80 trasures - Jordan to Ethiopia

Load episode Jordan to Ethiopia: "Dan Cruickshank turns Indiana Jones as he hunts for the legendary Ark of the Covenant,
riding a donkey along a precipitous gorge to reach the city of Petra in Jordan, facing a Guardian Monk and scaling the
