Post Description

There were seven wonders of the world in antiquity, and UNESCO counts 1,121 treasures today. A good half of them are threatened by natural disasters, war, urbanization or decay.

In the “Planet of Treasures” historian Sir Christopher Clark presents these most fascinating places around the globe: his path leads from the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt to the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, from the “Palace of the Winds” in Jaipur, India, to the Jordanian desert , from the lagoon city of Venice to the Mexican city of Teotihuacan and the city of Hue in Vietnam along with many other impressive cultural and natural monuments.

This six-part series was created to familiarize a wide international audience with this world cultural heritage and takes the viewers to the most exciting places in the world.
