[00:00.40] | Inspired by the legend of El Dorado, the realm of the gold-covered king. |
[00:07.70] | After defeating the Inca army at the Battle of Cajamarca, their quest began in earnest. |
[00:15.65] | At Potosi, in what is now Bolivia, the Spaniards struck it rich. |
[00:21.32] | They discovered the Cerro Rico, literally the Rich Hill. |
[00:25.91] | Towering nearly 16,000 feet above sea level, it was a money mountain. |
[00:33.40] | In their 250 years of Spanish rule, more than 2 billion ounces of silver were extracted from mines like this one,14,000 feet up in the Andes. |
[00:45.65] | What the Incas couldn't grasp was why the Europeans had such an insatiable lust for gold and silver. |
[00:52.49] | They couldn't understand that to Pizarro and the Conquistadores, silver was much more than just shiny metal, |
[00:58.82] | it could be made into money, a store of value, a unit of account, portable power. |
