From the legendary golden kingdom of Tartessos, to Mahendra Parvata, a lost city swallowed by the Cambodian jungle, to Cahokia, a massive ancient metropolis in North America, each discovery reveals a forgotten chapter of the past. We will also uncover the story of Kush, the African empire that once conquered Egypt, and Caral Supe, a 5,000-year-old civilization that built pyramids and organized a complex society with almost no trace of war.
