This video is part of the Lost Treasures of the Ancient World series that explores ancient civilizations all over the world. In Lost Treasures of the Ancient World: Empires of the Americas, the Mezo-American cultures of the Aztecs of Mexico and the Incas of Peru are examined. Both civilizations flourished about a thousand years ago, before the invasion of the Spanish brought about their demise. The Spanish were drawn to the regions by stories of fabulous treasures of gold. There are period re-enactments of life in the cities of Tenochtitlan and Macchu Piccu. Rose of Sharon Winter, Rovi
