In this episode, host Christy Kenneally travels to the Peruvian Andes to explore the remnants of Inca civilisation - the city of Pisac, which, like all Inca cities, was designed in the shape of a sacred animal; Cajamarca, where the Inca leader Atahualpa was murdered by the Spaniards; and the sacred mountaintop city of Machu Picchu.
A.D. 650 - the ancient Maya. Rising from the mists of central America are Mayan stone pyramids, plazas, painted ball courts and majestic temples.

The enigmas of the Nazca, creators of the earth-drawings, the 15,000-mile Inca road system, the engineering feat that is the fabled Machu Picchu and the final devastating encounter with the Spanish conquistador, are all recorded in this documentary.
