Five centuries after the conquest of America, researchers from all over the world are investigating what was one of the most powerful driving forces behind the colonization of the continent: the quest for gold. This precious, glittering metal, said to be eternal, motivated colossal expeditions, justified the worst atrocities and gave rise to the wildest tales. A multitude of myths depicting the Americas as a "magical" land, with infinitely rich soil and streets paved with gold, just waiting to be conquered. But what lies behind these fantasies? Did the famous "Cities of Gold" of legend really exist? Or was it all just a huge misunderstanding?
