February 18
32 mins

Episode Description

Before the Maya kings. Before the Aztecs. Before the Inca.


While the Mediterranean world reorganizes itself, two continents across the ocean are developing along very different lines.


In this episode arc we explore:

• The forgotten mound-builders of North America

• The Epi-Olmec world and the possible birth of writing

• Early Maya cities before dynasties and divine kings


These were advanced civilizations that might surprise you.
