Episode 1The Profecy30 min
At the Santa Luzia de Campos' Chapel there's an inscription that questions the exact start day of D. Afonso Henriques' reign. At the Archivo General de Simancas, in Spain, there's a registration of delivery of D. Sebastião's corpse in Ceuta. In between narratives that have spread throughout the centuries, it's not easy to find the concrete historical truth about D. Afonso Henriques and D. Sebastião. Even though nowadays we have great scientific abilities at our disposal, there still persists an enormous resistance towards resolving these mysteries. While that doesn't happen, the myth will continue to outshine History.

It's common to find the word "lusitan" used to call the Portuguese people. It's as natural as associating Viriato with Portugal.

There is evidence that Portugal had an illegal wolfram commerce during WWII. The metal that's crucial to the German Tanks build. In the year 2000, more than a thousand documents were uncovered in an old abandoned Spanish railway station, showing 75 tons of nazi gold had passed through the border on its way to Portugal. Which brings us to a sensible question: to whom did the responsibility fall to confirm the Nazi gold's legitimacy?
