Approximately 5,000 years ago, humans discovered metal. This documentary provides an overview of how metals shaped world history and civilizations. Bronze and iron empowered the ancient world and allowed Egyptian and Greek empires to expand. Gold drove Spanish conquistadors to pillage the Aztec capital of Tenochtitlan. Potosi silver mines generated an economic revolution in Europe, ushering in the Consumer Age. Steel built infrastructure of the modern world, including buildings, railways, and ships.
