Two whole continents, no contact with the rest of the world for thousands of years and yet here rose some of the grandest cities and empires the planet has ever seen. How did the Americas grow their own astonishing civilizations from scratch?
Cut off from Asia, Africa, and Europe for thousands of years, the peoples of the Americas built their own incredible story from the ground up: from the first hunters crossing into an empty land, to towering pyramid-cities, to two of the mightiest empires on Earth. This quest follows that homegrown journey north and south, showing how big ideas like farming, temples, writing, and roads were invented all over again on this side of the world.
