I notice that this full episode has not yet been made available to view online, as have the previous and following episodes--will this episode also be available for viewing online? It would be great if it is available so that I could see the full episode, part of which I missed at airing.

Yet how could we have been so unaware of this amazing part of our world? Please distribute and repeat this episode as much as possible. Thank you so much to all who worked on it.

Such assertions are no longer recognized by any reputable historian. The facts show that the Incas were defeated largely by other indigenous peoples who were unhappy with Inca domination and who allied themselves with the Spanish. If a goal of this series is to educate the audience, then please do not perpetuate these myths about the conquest of the Americas by Europeans. Whether you are talking about Peru or about Mexico, the facts reveal a great deal of complexity.

With Earth Day coming up this Nature episode is an absolute must watch. It will make anyone appreciate the awe-inspiring beauty and fragility of life on Earth.
