S1 • E2 Apr 9, 2008 60m
Historian and writer Dan Cruickshank celebrates the creative force of architecture as he explores the world's greatest cities, buildings and monuments. Dan travels to the Czech Republic, revealing the macabre tale of a chapel decorated with human bones. In Guatemala he encounters the Yaxha Mayan pyramids, sites of brutal human sacrifice, before finally coming face-to-face with death itself in Varanasi in India, a sacred Hindu town where people come to die.
