Raiders of the Lost Past with Janina Ramirez

Available on

BBC Two

Dr Janina Ramirez, the British art and cultural historian and TV presenter, known for `An Art Lover's Guide' and `The Genius of Leonardo Da Vinci', follows in the footsteps of the greatest explorer-archaeologists around the world, in search of hallowed ancient sites. Hot on their trails, Janina reveals how our understanding of each treasure continues to be shaped by the interpretations of the explorers and their eras, be they the heights of the British Empire or Europe in the grip of turn-of-the-century nationalistic fervour.
