America Before Columbus: The Untold Story of the New World | Extra Long Documentary

In 1491, America was not the untouched wilderness often depicted, but a land teeming with a hundred million people in complex societies, largely unknown to each other. The "America Before Columbus" series delves into this pre-Columbian world, exploring the rich cultures of the Americas and their lack of awareness of Europe, setting the stage for the Columbian Exchange. This greatest cultural exchange in history is further explored in the series' second part, highlighting Columbus' arrival and the profound impact of European flora and fauna on the American landscape and diet. Simultaneously, the introduction of diseases like smallpox and plague led to the tragic decimation of the native population, transforming America into a reflection of Europe.
