Lost Cities of the Ancients

on BBC Two England

2/3. The Cursed Valley of the Pyramids. A strange lost world lies in northern Peru. The Lambeyeque people were haunted by a terrible fear and believed pyramids were essential to their survival. This conviction reached its height at Tucume, an eerie place of 26 pyramids side-by-side - created before the community vanished for ever. The quest to solve the mystery behind the pyramids took almost years to solve. The film re-creates the bloody scenes of human sacrifice that took place at Tucume, culminating in a frenzy that led to the purging and abandonment of the city of pyramids - a desperate act that brought to an end this thousand-year-old civilization. The series concludes at the same time tomorrow. See yesterday's choice.
