Jago begins by journeying through southern Mexico to investigate the rise and fall of America's oldest civilisation, the Olmec, which thrived over 3,000 years ago. He encounters colossal stone heads and the oldest rubber balls in the world and descends deep inside an ancient cave network in search of a were-jaguar.
Dr Jago Cooper utforskar de fantastiska men mindre kända civilisationerna i Centralamerika när han belyser de bortglömda folkens främsta prestationer och avslöjar varför de olika kungarikena försvann.
