During the 16th and 17th century, legends of a golden city known as “El Dorado” permeated throughout the “New World.” The quest to find this mysterious source of gold was often followed in its wake by a curse of death and destruction. Modern historians dismiss El Dorado as nothing more than myth, but what if a golden empire actually did exist? New evidence suggests that the lore might go deeper than ever previously conceived. Join us on this epic quest for gold as Nat teaches Aly all about what secrets the Amazon might be holding onto!
