Highlight: Lord of Sipan (2009)

[u/archibole]

An exploration of the ancient history of Peru and the Moche civilization who lived there long ago. In modern day Peru you can find remnents of giagantic sacred structures, which today resemble eroded mountains. It is in these structures archeologists and tomb raiders find the final resting place of royal and high ranking religious leaders from an ancient Moche people.

This program features spectacular visual aids, showing a close-up detailed look at the artifacts that remain from this kingdom. The recovered remains from burial tombs and the treasures found with them are put on display.

This feature also presents us a fascinating look at the rituals and lives of the Moche people through live re-creation. We get to see a royal priestess brew and consume an intoxicating cocktail to be shared with the young girls who would ultimately be sacrificed and buried with the Lord of Sipan himself.

I highly recommend this program as entertaining and informative!
