The History Channel series (by Monster Productions) looks at the treasures human beings听have created throughout history to celebrate and revere their leaders, many of which have been plundered, hidden or lost to time.听
According to the programme makers:
鈥鈥 lost worlds captured the imaginations of the greatest philanthropists, collectors and even governments of the day. With vast investment explorers 鈥 mounted expeditions to go in search of the great treasures of the ages. From the Valley of the Kings to the depths of the Aegean Sea, no expense was spared in the pursuit of these priceless, mythical objects. Yet the pursuit of them sometimes came at the ultimate price.鈥
In Episode 8, the hunt takes us to revolutionary Russia, ancient Egypt, a remote Island in Polynesia and a picturesque village in France, where we uncover the origins of the curses surrounding the Faberg茅 听Eggs, the Unlucky Mummy, the Easter Island Moai and Van Gogh鈥檚 Tree Roots.听
Sue is currently writing-up her decade of work on Rapa Nui (Easter Island) and a听new book,听The Making of Rapa Nui. She was invited to present her research as part of Stanford University's Distinguished Lecture series earlier this year.
