Around the World in 80 Treasures - Season 1 - Eps 2: Mexico To America
In Mexico, Dan Cruickshank visits the Mayan city of Paleque, the Toltecs' Giants of (Tollan) Tula and the painting 'Man, Controller of the Universe' in Mexico city. Next Dan is in North America, in the USA, starting in the former Mexican part: a colt revolver is arguably his least artistic treasure, rather an artifact, at Cortez, then goes to Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado, president Jefferson's Monticelo estate in Virginia and in New York both the Statue of Liberty (a French gift) and the modern Seagram Building.
