Lost City of the Nasca. Roughly 2,000 years ago, the Nasca people of Peru made strange markings in the South American desert depicting enormous birds and animals. They also created hundreds of uncannily straight lines stretching for many miles. The markings were so large they could be seen in full only from the air. Aided by colleagues Brian Harrison and Andrea Drusini , archaeologist Giuseppe Orefici has spent years trying to excavate Cahuachi, the monumental city, dominated by a great pyramid, that was home to the Nasca. Producers Chris Hale and Thierry Ragobert : Series editor Bettina Lemer

Impression: Sunrise. In the first Impressionist exhibition of 1874, Claude Monet shocked the world with a new way of seeing. Art critic Andrew Graham-Dixon reveals how Monet's flickering brush strokes of vivid colour, once derided as childish and vulgar, eventually led to new ways of painting, most notably in the pure abstraction of Rothko, Pollock and de Kooning.
