Before Columbus: the advanced civilizations Europeans erased from history
Description
What if everything you learned about the "discovery" of America was fundamentally wrong? In this eye-opening episode, we uncover the shocking truth about pre-Columbian Americas, a continent bustling with 60 million people, sophisticated urban centers, and technologies that rivaled or surpassed European innovations.
From Tenochtitlan's advanced sewage systems to Maya mathematical breakthroughs, from Amazonian garden cities to Haudenosaunee democracy, we explore how archaeological discoveries are rewriting history books. We'll examine why the colonial "empty wilderness" narrative persisted, the devastating 90% population collapse from disease, and what modern society can learn from indigenous knowledge systems.
Join us as we challenge colonial myths, celebrate indigenous achievements, and discover why recognizing this true history matters more than ever in today's world.
