Plot Synopsis

LOST CITIES WITH ALBERT LIN is a one-hour docuseries that follows host Albert Lin, as he embarks on high-tech archaeological adventures to unearth the secrets of some of the world's most legendary and mysterious civilizations. Utilizing ground-penetrating radar, LiDar and 3D scanning, Lin joins boots-on-the-ground archaeologists to discover and re-create unexcavated worlds still hidden beneath the earth. His mission is to uncover and resolve mysteries of the past in the most extraordinary sites of antiquity, including the Knights Templar in Israel, the Lost Kingdom of the Pacific in Micronesia and the city behind the legend of El Dorado: City of Gold in Colombia. Episodes include:

"Fortress of the Knights Templar" (Sunday, October 20, 2019): During the Crusades, the warrior monks of the Knights Templar battled for God, gold and glory. Somewhere in the modern city of Acre, Israel, lies their headquarters ... and, possibly, their treasure.

"Ghost City of the Pacific" (Monday, October 21, 2019): Just under 1,000 years ago, two curious Pacific societies appeared - and then disappeared - at the same time. Separated by over 6,000 miles, the islands, their cultures and their structures share remarkable similarities. Is there a connection between these legendary islands and their lost civilizations?

"El Dorado: City of Gold" (Monday, October 28, 2019): In the jungles of Colombia, the legend of El Dorado was born. Spanish conquistadors heard tales of a native king covered in gold dust and entire cities glittering in the trees. The Spanish never did find those fabled civilizations - but they also didn't have the technology that we have today.

"Stonehenge" (Monday, November 4, 2019): Lin uncovers a lost city that predates Stonehenge by 4,000 years. The 'Manhattan' of its day, Blick Mead could hold the secret to why one of the world's most famous monuments was built.

"Petra's Hidden Origins" (Monday, November 11, 2019): For 100 years archaeologists at the Rose Red City of Petra have focused mainly on its flamboyant rock tombs, temples and monuments. But now, a much bigger, epic picture is emerging from the ancient rocks: Petra is not the beginning of the story - but the end. A new city has been found that predates the famous Treasury by hundreds of years. Albert sets out to explore this groundbreaking new find to reveal, for the first time, the full story of one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

"Inca Island in the Sky" (Monday, November 18, 2019): Nestled high in the Peruvian Andes lies a forgotten Inca citadel: Waqrapukara. Built at over 13,000 feet altitude - almost 6,600 feet higher than Machu Picchu -- it's only recently been opened for research and is already being dubbed the "new Machu Picchu." Lin's search for clues takes him to unopened tombs, ancient caves and mysterious cities in the clouds. Who were these people, and could this site have been the blueprint for Machu Picchu?
