Overview
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.

It's a story. And we can't change it to make us like it. But we can learn from it.
Although I was hoping that he would stay in Russia longer and show something else :)
Krikshank was also unlucky with the time of year in Russia. The weather leaves much to be desired :(
Are you kidding 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Most likely on purpose.
