And now, today's brand-new episode:

In the 1860s, a French naturalist is hailed as the re-discoverer of the vast Angkor Wat temple complex in Cambodia. Soon, one of the world's most remarkable architectural and spiritual treasures becomes caught up in colonial intrigues as a "lost city" of ancient splendor. A story of power and prejudice, curiosity and wanderlust, and how the obvious is sometimes right under a giant stone nose.

You can see some of the incredible artworks mentioned in the episode in "Royal Bronzes: Cambodian Art of the Divine," featuring a giant statue of Vishnu and other bronze works, opening at the Minneapolis Institute of Art on October 25.
