You've probably heard of Cortés or Pizarro.
But what if I told you that after the dust settled after their conquests, one man named Coronado set out to conquer North America?
He was the first European there, and he did it all at the urging of one man... in search of the 7 Cities of Gold.

ℹ️ AI Info: In each episode, some photos/images are authentic or digitally edited for better quality. I use technology for the music, sounds, and generation of some images.
I have to do this because creating such visualizations using traditional methods would involve enormous costs that an independent creator cannot afford. The concept, research, script, and editing were all my own work. ✍️🦾
