Documentary presented by Dan Cruickshank revealing the most beautiful and precious things in the world. In the Australian outback Dan unearths giant termite mounds, edible juicy ants and erotic cave paintings, and then heads on to the wonders of Indonesia and the dead of Sulawesi with their marathon funerals of ritual sacrifice. He then travels to the highlight of his trip so far, Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom in Cambodia.
