Season 1

A legend becomes an empire, witness the dawn of the Incas, where myth, power and sacrifice forged a civilization.

The Inca Empire expanded at lightning speed, and its monumental works stretched across South America. Under the conqueror Tupac Yupanqui, the empire grew through force and strategy.

The Inca Empire reaches its golden age, with Cuzco overflowing with gold and the legendary wealth that inspired the legend of El Dorado.

After a century of power, the mighty Inca Empire collapsed in less than a decade to Spanish conquistadors. Civil war, betrayal and cunning tactics sealed the fate of the last three Inca rulers.
