Raiders of the lost civilizations
Description
This documentary is the story of an archeologist's race against the clock to explore and preserve what remains of a mysterious Pre-Columbian civilization in Peru. He confronts the looters of ancient tombs, impoverished peasants tempted by the offerings of the middlemen who work for international traffickers and collectors. A fascinating behind-the-scenes investigation of the international trade in artifacts, a business that ranks third worldwide after drugs and arms.
