Albert Lin is an engineer and explorer who uses the latest technology to unearth ancient secrets. As part of his TV programme Lost Cities, Lin has uncovered hidden cities of the past everywhere from Scotland to Sudan. As the owner of a high-tech prosthetic leg and foot, he also describes himself as an explorer of the “human frontier”, pushing into some of the world’s most physically challenging places. A prosthetic limb is one that’s made by humans.

Albert’s middle name, Yu-Min, means “citizen of the universe” in Mandarin (a Chinese language). As a child, Lin was on the move a lot because his father was an astrophysicist (scientist who studies the universe) who worked in Europe and Russia. Lin says because he was the youngest of three children, he was always getting up to mischief.
