Following the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus in 1492, news of a "new world" filled with riches beyond any man's dreams rapidly intoxicated the imagination of explorers from far and wide. The arrival of conquistadors such as Cortez and Pizarro would eventually spell the end of two great ancient civilisations, the Aztecs and the Incas. Using magnificent computer animated graphics, the cities of Tenochtitlan and Machu Picchu come alive but just for long enough to appreciate the events which lead up to their violent destruction.
