An expedition into the mysterious world of ancient American history to shed a different light on the history of the Americas....

 

In 1492 Christopher Columbus leaves the port of Seville, driven by the vision of sailing west, to find the riches of the East. On October 12, 1492, Columbus lands on what he thinks are the shores of the Orient. But he is wrong. These are the shores of the Americas ? the New World. He is about to spark an ecological revolution that will become known as The Columbian Exchange. After Columbus comes an endless wave of explorers, conquistadors and settlers, and African slaves - each of their ships a Noah's Ark and carrying Old World plants, animals - and disease.
