There were lies our teachers told us. We’ve were taught that North and South America were empty of humans until around 13,000 years ago -- one of the last great landmasses on earth to have been settled by our ancestors.

But new discoveries have radically reshaped this long-held fantasy. We now know that the Americas (from Argentina to Canada) were first peopled more than 130,000 years ago -- many tens of thousands of years before human settlements became established elsewhere.

Under thick rainforest jungle are the fingerprints of great civilizations -- Maya and older. LIDAR is revealing tens of thousands of structures and henge monuments. There were a thousand "Londons" here then Europeans brought diseases that killed 20,000,000 Native American inhabitants.

Hancock's research takes us on a series of journeys and encounters with the scientists responsible for the recent extraordinary breakthroughs.

In the process, from the Mississippi Valley to the Amazon rain forest, he reveals that ancient "New World" cultures share a legacy of advanced scientific knowledge and sophisticated spiritual tenets with supposedly unconnected "Old World" cultures.
