Art of the Heist

On the Trail of the Moche Gold (2x6)

Air date: Sep 02, 2010

In 1988 a glittering golden headdress was looted from an ancient tomb in the desert of northern Peru. The octopus headdress with eight Medusa like tentacles belonged to one of the Moche lords, a sophisticated culture that pre-dated the Incas. Art of the Heist follows the trail of the headdress from Peru to Spain to Germany and eventually to London in a story of murder and intrigue.
