Synopsis
Cahokia, a major pre-Columbian city, housed thousands of inhabitants with its complex infrastructure. When Christopher Columbus arrived in 1492, he found advanced societies across the Americas, not a pristine wilderness. The documentary presents archaeological evidence from sites like Tenochtitlan, showing sprawling cities, extensive orchards, and intricate canals. It challenges traditional narratives about Indigenous peoples and their rich history before European contact. The film runs for 91 minutes and was produced in Germany.
