Así era Vivir en Santiago de Compostela en el año 820 d.C. | El Misterio que Cambió Europa | Con IA

📖 Our book "The Awakening of the Stone" is now available: → https://bit.ly/postalesdelpasado Travel with us to the year 820 AD and discover what life was really like in the place where Santiago de Compostela would be born, long before the cathedral, the cobblestone streets, or the city walls existed. In this documentary, we use artificial intelligence to recreate the exact moment when a hermit named Pelayo discovered mysterious lights on Mount Libredón, a discovery that led Bishop Theodomir of Iria Flavia to identify what was believed to be the tomb of the Apostle James. The news reached King Alfonso II of Asturias, who set out from Oviedo on what is considered the first pilgrimage in history, giving rise to the Camino de Santiago (Way of St. James). 📌 In this video you will discover: What daily life was like in 9th-century Galicia What Galician peasants ate, how they lived, and what they believed The role of Benedictine monasteries and the episcopal see of Iria Flavia The story of the hermit Pelayo and Bishop Theodomir The journey of King Alfonso II and the construction of the first church How the Camino de Santiago (Way of St. James) originated and why it changed Europe forever The birth of the Jacobean cult and the growth of Compostela The importance of the Codex Calixtinus as the first travel guide to Europe 🔬 Recent fact: In 2024, an international team led by Patxi Pérez-Ramallo (University of Norway) confirmed through DNA and radiocarbon dating that the remains found beneath the cathedral most likely belong to Bishop Theodomir, making him the oldest identified historical figure in Spain. ⚠️ This video is based on verified historical sources.
