Подробнее о видео

Imagine a world where ancient temples crumbled, sacred rituals were forbidden, and a people's entire way of life was brutally replaced.

That's what happened in the early 16th century, as the Spanish relentless pursuit of power and wealth shattered the intricate balance of the Arawak and Carib worlds.
