America, History of a Continent

Ulisse - The Pleasure of Discovery Season 11 Episode 4

Overview:
In this episode Ulisse takes a journey back in time to tell the story of a continent, America. Let's start from New York, the great metropolis of today, and discover its curious origins. We follow the paths of the pioneers to conquer the West and the crazy gold rush. We meet the first settlers, the famous pilgrim fathers who settled on the east coast in the 1600s. We go back through the centuries to the time of the Spanish conquistadors and Christopher Columbus' first encounter with the native Taino people. Let's discover the civilizations and peoples who populated the New World before 1492. Great, well-known cultures such as the Inca in Peru and, in Mexico and Central America, the Maya and Aztec. But we also discover that the cities of the Anasazi and those of the peoples of Mississippi had reached a notable level of development, with clay palaces of hundreds of rooms.
