In the spectacular deserts of coastal Peru, archaeologist
Dr Jago Cooper explores the dramatic rise and fall of Chimor, the first empire
of South America. His journey begins among the ruins of a vast lost city once
home to an all-powerful monarchy, whose subjects transformed the desert
landscape, created gold and silver treasures and believed so strongly in the
power of their gods that they made the most shocking of sacrifices. Chimor
thrived despite facing some of the most extreme climate conditions in the
world, but not even this powerful empire could withstand the forces that
eventually destroyed it.
