One of the weaker shows. Takes forever to get to the lost city. He takes a trip through the jungles on abandoned railroad tracks which is a tourist attraction now. After a buildup and many mentions of mines (over 50,000 in the area, he decides to take a helicopter into the area followed by a motorbike. Sigh. Guess the showrunner can't really risk blowing up his talent after all. The end of the show is interesting when we finally see a glimpse of what they are excavating. For some reason (same as in episode one) they go explore the top of the mountain at night in a storm. Most likely because it is more dramatic to go exploring in the jungle by torchlight with lightning and thunder.

This Cambodia episode is especially bad and I gave up on the series.. Josh does this big adventure road/water/offroad struggle to get to the excavations north of Siem Reap/Ankor. He does the usual tourist things.. ride the bamboo railway, a boat on Tonle Sap, floating village, bat cave etc. and implies the dig is unseen before. Oooooohhh.
When in reality, he could have driven through a road construction area to get to Battambang, or taken a paved road from Phnom Penh in a nice air conditioned public bus to Siem Reap, and hire a cab to the dig site which has a large team working there. Even the "Indiana Jones" style outfit is cliche laughable.
