SynopsisIn a series of episodes as fantastic as any fiction, a powerful civilization crumbled at the hands of a small band of warriors.

Rich in vivid anecdotes, it recaptures the glories of Inca society before European contact, and it paints fascinating portraits of the conquistadors and their courage, cruelty, and pride.
