"I think one of the fascinating things that I am looking at when I look at Peru today, is that they are in fact in the process of doing what also happens in Mexico, perhaps in Egypt, and eventually I would believe China . . . where these countries who have a great ancient past build their identity through this past, and it becomes part of their present. So the past of Peru will be its future. And eventually the Moche will, I think, become a household name, just as much as the Maya or the Inca or the Aztec for that matter. Eventually it will become part of the world legacy."

A story that seems destined to acquire an ever greater modern political significance. And in the next programme, we're going to see what events of 1,300 years ago mean in contemporary Korea.
