Men attributed to him<br \/>\ncosmic powers capable of making and unmaking empires. Come in, madam. You will tell everything again today.  A powerful symbol, it occupies<br \/>\nan important place in every culture. Together, we will follow its journey from<br \/>\neast to west of Japan, from the samurai to Peru, from the Incas<br \/>\nthrough Spain, from the conquistadors. Making culture a great journey<br \/>\nis one of the ambitions of this new episode of the Grand Tour. So the story begins here,<br \/>\nin Japan, the land of the rising sun. We are in Kyoto,<br \/>\nthe mythical imperial city. This ancient city is<br \/>\na true treasure in itself. With its 2000 temples,<br \/>\nKyoto reminds us that it is steeped in the worship of nature and ancestors. Aye yo yo. Today, Kyoto is buzzing with excitement. She attends the Gion Matsuri,<br \/>\nthe most important festival in Japan. It is a child, a symbol of purity,<br \/>\nwho kicks off the ceremony. The Gong Matsuri. This is a<br \/>\nmajor event here in Japan. A month of festivities<br \/>\nand a culminating point. Today<br \/>\nis the day of the parade. It is a tradition that has endured<br \/>\nfor eleven centuries. The origin is religious. The country needed to be purified of all<br \/>\ndiseases, and especially of the plague which was ravaging Japan at the time. Then the monks paraded through the streets of<br \/>\nKyoto to implore the mercy of the gods. And you can see it.<br \/>\nEleven centuries later. And yet the fervor is still there. There are still just as many people. For nearly 5 hours,<br \/>\nthe parade will wind through the streets of the Gion district,<br \/>\none of the oldest districts of Kyoto, pulled by hand<br \/>\nby human chains. These richly decorated floats can<br \/>\nmeasure six meters high and carry about sixty people on board. For the Japanese, participating<br \/>\nin these ceremonies is an honor. It is also an opportunity to pass on the ancestral soul of the country to younger generations. And making these wooden monsters spin<br \/>\nis a real challenge. The Japanese use bamboo poles for this purpose,<br \/>\nwhich they water to make the wheels rotate. Just a few dozen<br \/>\nmeters from the festivities. A completely different<br \/>\natmosphere awaits us. Gion is also<br \/>\nthe geisha district. These women of infinite refinement are<br \/>\nthe living memory of classical Japan. It is in an okiya,<br \/>\na geisha training school, that we have an appointment in Burundi. It is said if there is hi hi! Oh !  Ha ha ha !<br \/>\nAh! Fukunaga is sixteen years old. She is a geisha apprentice,<br \/>\nthat is to say, a Maiko. She has been in training for six months. And it is decided that Sakura will be Shinobu.<br \/>\nI can&#8217;t get. No Maiko Santo Gecko are. Maiko and geckos must know how to<br \/>\ndance because they are often invited to parties or banquets. It&#8217;s part of their job. She absolutely must know how to dance. Upon his return to Cotonou. Oh, my sweet health! How healthy!<br \/>\nOh ! I say I cannot talk ikimasu!<br \/>\nHeh heh! We might as well leave the museum. Well,<br \/>\nin fact, you should always make the best movements,<br \/>\nso that your fingers are well joined.  One must be elegant with one&#8217;s<br \/>\nhands as well as with one&#8217;s gaze. You have to bend your knees<br \/>\nand pay attention to everything. That&#8217;s what&#8217;s difficult. Always bend your knees. Your.<br \/>\nTa ta ta. The unique shunkan tomato. Teka, the disgusting Mother Christmas. Conscious of Amandine Masta. They told me on MSN. But the hardest part is adapting your gaze<br \/>\nto the music. Dance, the body, the gaze. Everything must be homogeneous,<br \/>\neverything must be together. Okiya are entirely<br \/>\nrun by women. Their residents are all<br \/>\nsingle and if one of them wishes to get married,<br \/>\nshe must leave the establishment.  The first geishas appeared in the 17th century in Edo, present-day<br \/>\nTokyo. At the time, many of them were<br \/>\nsold as young as three years old by poor families. Geisha schools were<br \/>\nthen responsible for their education. Today, you must be at least fifteen years<br \/>\nold and apply to join the school. The training lasts five years.  The program includes music, dance, singing,<br \/>\nbut also calligraphy, poetry, the art of conversation and the tea ceremony. There are fewer than one zero zero<br \/>\nzero geishas left across the country. Their presence is always<br \/>\nsought after by an affluent clientele. Tonight, Fukunaga has an<br \/>\nimportant appointment, a reception at which she is scheduled to perform. Exceptionally. She agrees to the presence of our camera<br \/>\nfor the intimate moment of makeup. But I have a question. What if I do my makeup like this to make<br \/>\nmy neck look longer than it actually is? In Japan, the concept of beauty has always<br \/>\nbeen associated with white skin. White is synonymous<br \/>\nwith well-being and purity. How to begin? Red is used to make the eyes appear<br \/>\nbrighter, sharper, and also to make you look more innocent, purer.  In the first year, you<br \/>\nonly put lipstick on your lower lip. That&#8217;s the rule. And only in the second year are we<br \/>\nallowed to put it on our upper lip. Although a woman runs the<br \/>\ngeisha training school, a man is in charge<br \/>\nof the dressing ritual. At worst, it is.<br \/>\nTo tie the belt. A significant force is needed. That&#8217;s why it has to<br \/>\nbe a man who does it. Only a man can achieve this.<br \/>\nOf course.  It took me more than four years<br \/>\nto learn karate. After classes. It looks better when it&#8217;s<br \/>\ntight and not loose. And there&#8217;s a kimono every month. And this is the kimono of the month of May. In physiotherapy.<br \/>\nIn physiotherapy. It might not be obvious,<br \/>\nbut it&#8217;s very tight. It&#8217;s a little too tight. I&#8217;m having trouble breathing, I&#8217;m a little suffocated. It had been my dream since I was<br \/>\nfourteen to be dressed like this. And today, it is coming true. Alright.<br \/>\nNot without me. It&#8217;s time for Fukunaga<br \/>\nto go to his appointment. Only the school director knows<br \/>\nwhere this apprentice geisha is going tonight. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site<br \/>\n, Kyoto is not only a city that takes care of its past,<br \/>\nit also reflects Japanese modernity. Kyoto Station is a true<br \/>\narchitectural curiosity. What is striking here<br \/>\nis the persistence of ancestral rites in a futuristic urban environment. We are just a stone&#8217;s throw from the<br \/>\ngeisha district and look at this train station with its bold architecture. Well, that&#8217;s Japan for you:<br \/>\ntradition and modernity coexisting quite naturally. General. The Shinkansen is the<br \/>\nfastest and most famous train in Japan. He is known for his punctuality. In 3 hours, I will be in Tokyo. Tokyo, literally the capital of the East. The city&#8217;s urban planning is the synthesis<br \/>\nbetween contemporary design and the heritage of the past. Here, space is a crucial issue. The lack of space is such that the tops<br \/>\nof skyscrapers often house sports fields. Mechanics. With its 38 million inhabitants,<br \/>\nTokyo is one of the most populated urban areas in the world. Harajuku is one<br \/>\nof the city&#8217;s more eccentric neighborhoods.  A showcase of fashion and creativity. Young Japanese people gather there in the late<br \/>\nafternoon, around 12 pm, and are distinguished by their clothing style. This is where Julie Dreyfuss<br \/>\narranged to meet me. Julie Dreyfuss, a<br \/>\nFrench actress, lives in Japan. She is known in the West for her role<br \/>\nas Sophie Fatale, one of the professional killers<br \/>\nin Quentin Tarantino&#8217;s film Kill Bill. Julie,<br \/>\nyou have been living part of your life here in Japan for about twenty years. What is your view<br \/>\nof this society? I love the Japanese.<br \/>\nThey are full of qualities. For example, these are people who are<br \/>\ncreative and very good at living life, which is not something<br \/>\nthat is necessarily known. These are people who have a<br \/>\nvery pronounced sense of belonging to the group. That&#8217;s a commonplace. But I think that because of this,<br \/>\nthey have a work ethic, they take their work very seriously,<br \/>\nwhich allows them to be very conscientious and to<br \/>\nvalue every job. There is no such thing as a bad job,<br \/>\nthere are no small jobs. We are part of a machine. Every person is important. You can feel an energy, a side,<br \/>\nI would say positive, that you see life rather on the bright side, the glass half full<br \/>\nrather than half empty, as in some countries. Yes, yes, they are very positive people<br \/>\nwho manage to focus on the good things in life,<br \/>\nthe little pleasures. They are very fond<br \/>\nof little details like that. The cherry trees are in bloom. This is what allows them to<br \/>\nsometimes face great collective misfortunes. Probably in part. Then a great pragmatism and<br \/>\na concept of their place in the universe which makes them accept that nature<br \/>\nis very powerful. There are roughly 130 million<br \/>\nJapanese people in a territory half the size of France. Don&#8217;t you sometimes feel<br \/>\na little cramped or oppressed? It&#8217;s very intense.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s very, very intense. So to escape, I often go<br \/>\nnearby to the Meiji Shrine; if you&#8217;d like, I&#8217;d be<br \/>\nhappy to take you there. This park takes us away. Julie Dreyfus is<br \/>\none of Tokyo&#8217;s green lungs. It is home to one of the most famous<br \/>\nShinto shrines, the Meiji-jingu temple. Julie, this park is a&#8230; It&#8217;s more than just a public garden. It is a place of spirituality. It&#8217;s a Shinto shrine. Moreover, you can see the barrels<br \/>\nof sake, the rice wine, which are given as an offering to the temple every year. This is an exceptional place,<br \/>\na haven of peace, a magnificent place. The gravel we walk on<br \/>\ncontributes precisely to this serenity. Yes, traditionally,<br \/>\none had to cleanse oneself in a river before entering a temple. So now, the gravel<br \/>\nsymbolizes the riverbed and&#8230; And the sound of footsteps on gravel<br \/>\nallows you to purify your body and soul. Julie: At the entrance of every Shinto shrine,<br \/>\nthere is this type of gate. Yes, it&#8217;s called a torii gate. This one is exceptional because it<br \/>\nis twelve meters high. It is the tallest wooden torii gate in Japan. And you see, there, are two<br \/>\ncypress trunks that are truly magnificent. So, before entering<br \/>\nthe sanctuary itself. Tradition dictates that one<br \/>\nbows out of respect. Also at the exit. And then, when we walk<br \/>\non the sides of the path to avoid treading on the path<br \/>\nused by the gods. But not everyone knows that.<br \/>\nAnd the central aisle? Yes, that&#8217;s it. Another ritual before entering<br \/>\nthe sacred precinct. This is the ritual of purification.<br \/>\nYes. To be truly<br \/>\npure in body and heart. So we start with the hands. Then the mouth. We rinse.<br \/>\nActually, the hand again. And then the handle of the container. So. And now we can<br \/>\nenter the temple. Now we have<br \/>\narrived at the closest thing to the sacred. This is the place of prayer. Yes, for those who want to<br \/>\nmake wishes, this is the place to stand. First, an offering. Then we show respect<br \/>\ntwice by bowing twice. We attract the attention of the gods. And once again, a sign of respect. The divine is very present<br \/>\nin the daily lives of the Japanese. Yes, still quite naturally.<br \/>\nYes. Although Shinto is the ancestral religion<br \/>\nof the archipelago, the Japanese do not necessarily practice a single religion<br \/>\nas in the time of the samurai. The Japanese soul is inhabited<br \/>\nby Shinto, Buddhist, and Confucian philosophies. Syncretism allows each believer<br \/>\nto draw from it according to their own sensibilities. It is in the studios of NHK,<br \/>\nat Japanese public television, that I meet<br \/>\nJulie Dreyfuss the next morning. In their dressing room, the actors are preparing<br \/>\nto shoot a new episode of a cult series that began exactly 48 years ago<br \/>\n. This is Maguy. They do their own makeup. And the series tells<br \/>\nthe story of the samurai. The adventures of these<br \/>\nlegendary warriors are broadcast every Sunday. The Japanese love it and its<br \/>\naudience success has been consistent for half a century. We eat there. He is the hero of the series,<br \/>\na samurai who became a priest, hence the shaved head and very,<br \/>\nvery, very beautiful costume.  Are you going?<br \/>\nOuch, ouch, ouch, ouch! You are. Okay guys, that&#8217;s it,<br \/>\nI&#8217;m now a mega Tibetan chocolate lover. In my living room. Yo Moulineaux! With confidence. Ouch, ouch, ouch! If this series is breaking<br \/>\nlongevity records, it is because the history of the samurai<br \/>\nis intimately linked to that of Japan. To know it is to possess the keys<br \/>\nto understanding modern Japan. Aaaaahhhhhhhhhh. Mount Fuji, the mystical heart of Japan. It is here, at its feet,<br \/>\nthat in the 12th century the great epic of the Japanese warriors, the Bushi,<br \/>\nwho would become over time the samurai, was born. To tell the story of the birth<br \/>\nof this medieval Japan. We are going to Nara, the<br \/>\ncradle of Japanese civilization. Nara was once<br \/>\na magnificent imperial capital. Many of its monuments are<br \/>\nlisted as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Among them is the Todaiji Buddhist temple. It dates from the 8th century. This monumental building is the<br \/>\nlargest wooden structure in the world. It houses a huge Buddha statue. Sixteen meters high,<br \/>\n437 tons of bronze. It&#8217;s absolutely impressive. This Buddha was erected at the same time<br \/>\nas the temple by Emperor Shomu, who hoped to put an end to a great<br \/>\nsmallpox epidemic that was ravaging all of Japan at the time. Look closely at the pupils,<br \/>\nthey are painted. They were painted by Emperor<br \/>\nShomu himself, who thus symbolically wished to<br \/>\nbreathe life into this Buddha. And. This temple, as you can see,<br \/>\nstill plays an important role in the spiritual life of the Japanese,<br \/>\nbut above all it played a decisive role in the rise<br \/>\nof the first shogun Minamoto. Minamoto no Yoritomo, head of one<br \/>\nof the most important clans in Japan. At the end of the 12th century,<br \/>\nfollowing a power struggle, the emperor was relegated to<br \/>\nhonorary and religious functions. Minamoto no Yoritomo becomes the shogun,<br \/>\nthe political leader of Japan. He established a dictatorship and a<br \/>\nfeudal system that would last for nearly 700 years. This marks the beginning of the reign of the Bushi,<br \/>\nthen of the warrior samurai in the service of the shogun. Before wielding the sword, samurai<br \/>\nwere first and foremost mounted archers. This is the great era of the bushi. Fierce sections,<br \/>\nwarriors, bushi and samurai. We dominated the archipelago and shaped<br \/>\nits history until the 20th century. Even today, he remains<br \/>\nthe iconic figure of Japan. Here in this dojo,<br \/>\nwe perpetuate the art of the samurai, kendo, that is to say the way of the sword. Every year, the best<br \/>\nfighters in the country gather there. Hiroshi Yano is 71 years old. He started kendo at the age of thirteen<br \/>\nand has been teaching it for almost 50 years. In the past, it was a fight with real<br \/>\nswords, a fight to the life and death to kill the other kendo practitioner. But today,<br \/>\nit&#8217;s not the same at all. We must keep it alive. This art has evolved.<br \/>\nFrom the sword that kills, to the sword that gives life. And learning the technique must<br \/>\nlead to the development of the human being. Like most Japanese martial arts<br \/>\n, kendo was invented by samurai in peacetime<br \/>\nto continue training away from battles. Mastering the sword then becomes<br \/>\na discipline of body and mind. LEFT ? Or right? Has nothing to do with it. See. When I do kendo, I do it<br \/>\nseriously, as if I were risking my life.  The more you practice kendo,<br \/>\nthe more you realize its depth. I&#8217;m unaware of this debate on this. That he.  You really have to practice this art<br \/>\nto master it. But I know that.<br \/>\nThis is my life&#8217;s work. In this world of ruthless warriors,<br \/>\nonly a few women distinguished themselves. Tomoe Gozen was the most famous. Legend has it that out of love,<br \/>\nshe followed her lover onto the battlefields, displaying<br \/>\nimmense courage during the fighting. Since then considered a true<br \/>\nsamurai, Tomoe has become a recurring character in Noh theatre. Traditional Japanese theatre. A play commemorates his exploits. Who are we? Oshima is one of the only women<br \/>\nto play the role of Tomoe. But. Attention !<br \/>\nNow I&#8217;m going to tighten his ring. There are the Linagora dioceses, among others. Personally, I feel close to her. If we co-create more. Closer than other<br \/>\nfemale characters in the theatre, no. How. Because even though she was a woman,<br \/>\nshe was first and foremost a warrior. No.<br \/>\nCandidate for. Putting on the<br \/>\nTomoe costume took 3 hours.  The final step before<br \/>\ngoing on stage is the mask. No, but we can see it. When you put on a mask,<br \/>\nyour field of vision becomes very narrow. We don&#8217;t see<br \/>\nwhat we usually see. So the actor has the impression of being<br \/>\nlocked in a dark place while&#8230; Indiana Howard. Unlike what happens<br \/>\nin other forms of theatre, our actors cannot convey<br \/>\nintention or express feelings and emotions, as<br \/>\nWestern actors would, for example. Noh theatre originated<br \/>\naround the 14th century. It is a very closed,<br \/>\ndemanding, codified art. He didn&#8217;t laugh because he<br \/>\nwas being interpreted. Today, only five families<br \/>\ncontinue to practice it in Japan.  To fulfill it better, reduce my Kino quota and that there are still the Reply Magnin holding the crown of England. That&#8217;s fine with me. Take your time, take your time. And. Nightsky pipes. All of this requires a<br \/>\nlot of concentration. It is this concentration that is very<br \/>\nimportant and we better understand why this art developed thanks to the samurai. Hhhhhhhhhhhh. Returning to Tokyo in the<br \/>\nfootsteps of a samurai. Accounts reveal that when going<br \/>\ninto battle, samurai attached great importance to their appearance. Today,<br \/>\ntheir armor is considered to be true works of art. The very beautiful suits of armor<br \/>\ncan obviously be found in museums, but also at some<br \/>\nvery specialized antique dealers. I&#8217;ve spotted three that are<br \/>\nparticularly beautiful. There you have it, these are 18th century suits of armor<br \/>\n, magnificent ceremonial suits of armor. The helmet is very, very beautiful. The helmet is a very<br \/>\npersonal item for the samurai. He places symbols there that are<br \/>\nuseful to him, important for him, psychologically, for him. He wanted to put up a<br \/>\nBuddhist symbol, probably to signify that he was protected by heaven. And then the mask, the mask that protects<br \/>\nthe face, but has a function, I would say, of frightening its enemies. In Japan, there is<br \/>\nan anecdote about a samurai who thought he was invincible and who,<br \/>\nas soon as he appeared on the battlefield with his helmet and armor,<br \/>\nmade his enemies flee without him having to fight. And then one day, he changed<br \/>\nhis mask and he was killed. This just goes to show that appearances are often<br \/>\ndeceiving, but sometimes useful. The samurai is a fighter<br \/>\nentirely focused on the offensive. One of the only people in<br \/>\nhuman history to fight without a shield. He is one with his sword. Along with his armor, the samurai<br \/>\ncarried two or three swords. First of all, his combat sword, which is<br \/>\na slightly larger sword, called a Katana. And then another sword, smaller,<br \/>\nwhich was usually given by a member of his family. A sword he never parted with. It was the sword of honor. He had a dagger within reach. The Tanto was a dagger which he<br \/>\nused of course in close combat, but also to take his own life. According to the Samurai code,<br \/>\nthis ritual is called Seppuku, more commonly Hara-Kiri. So this dagger, this Tanto, dates from the 12th century and this saber dates from the 17th century. I will try to<br \/>\nhandle it carefully. Mmmmhhhh.<br \/>\nSo. And this sword requires a year of work. Throughout the 16th century,<br \/>\nJapan was ravaged by war and bloodshed. This is the golden age of the samurai. The majority of Japanese castles<br \/>\nwere built at the end of this period. Of the twelve castles that remain<br \/>\nintact, Matsumoto is one of the best preserved. It has not experienced siege,<br \/>\nbattle, or bombardment. He simply escaped the wars. Its black silhouette<br \/>\nearned it the nickname &#8220;Crow&#8221;. In normal times, the lord<br \/>\nlived outside the castle. He would only lock himself in there with his samurai<br \/>\nin case of imminent danger. Why is this place called<br \/>\nthe Samurai Race? It is named that because samurai used to<br \/>\nrun in armor when passing by here. We&#8217;re filming, we&#8217;re going to see. The Lord, upon entering<br \/>\nthis room, would sit here. When the wheel had turned over. He was sitting like that. What if the enemies approached? He had to commit Hara-Kiri. Hara-kiri.<br \/>\nOh ! Fortunately, Matsumoto Castle<br \/>\nwas not surrounded by enemies, so no lord<br \/>\nhad to take his own life here. We are in Ito, a 3-hour drive from Tokyo,<br \/>\nand I have an appointment with a very great Japanese artist. He is one of the greatest manga artists<br \/>\nin the world, that is to say, a Japanese comic book artist.<br \/>\nHis name? Hiroshi Hirata. We are at his house.  The undisputed master of Bushi<br \/>\nand samurai adventures, Hiroshi Hirata was the first manga artist<br \/>\nto be translated into French in 1969. Published worldwide,<br \/>\nhe is now praised by historians for the<br \/>\nrealism of his work. Hiroshi Hirata strives to convey<br \/>\nthe values \u200b\u200bof Japan through his manga. Meeting Hiroshi Hirata at his home<br \/>\nis a true privilege. It is in his garden, for us,<br \/>\nthat he improvises a drawing not of a samurai, but of a bushi. In his eyes, the bushi represents the<br \/>\nauthentic spirit of the Japanese warrior. Hirata-san.<br \/>\nWould you have liked to be a samurai? No. No. I would not have liked to be a samurai,<br \/>\nbecause a samurai receives orders. But I don&#8217;t want to depend on anyone. I would have liked to be a bushi<br \/>\nbecause nobody gives orders to a bushi. Behind my back. A bushi is independent. What values \u200b\u200bdo you<br \/>\nwant to convey to younger generations through your manga? Bushido Kokoro. No Oni. Every young person should be able to express their<br \/>\nideas without fear of them being acted upon.  He took advantage of the fact that it was on the side. Samurai. Samurai do not move<br \/>\nunless given an order. Hugo who massaged. The bushi think for themselves. And young people today,<br \/>\nif they work in a company, are forced to obey. But also our mothers who work<br \/>\nand are happy to do so. Help us? But if young people have their own<br \/>\nideas, they must tell their superiors without fear. That&#8217;s the spirit of the Bushi. And I hope that<br \/>\nyoung people will have this spirit. There he was born and he will die there. Yes, I agree that authority<br \/>\nhas prevailed over all of that and it works. If it isn&#8217;t. The spirit of the bushi<br \/>\nis also one of tenderness. Bushido. And thinking of others. At least there&#8217;s morale. I would like young people to have<br \/>\nthis spirit, to be useful to others. If everyone thought like that,<br \/>\nthere would be no wars. That&#8217;s when a little girl has her kokoro. Domo arigato gozaimasu. Which means thank you, thank you. Yes. Okay. The absolute power of the samurai<br \/>\nwill last seven centuries. It ends when Emperor Meiji<br \/>\nwants to take back power from the shogun. The country then split into two camps. It was here, at Osaka Castle,<br \/>\nthat one of the most important battles between the supporters<br \/>\nof the two men took place. Among those who took up the cause<br \/>\nof the shogun was a French officer, Jules Brunet, the last samurai. Sent to Japan under Napoleon III<br \/>\nto modernize the Japanese army. Jules Brunet disobeyed<br \/>\nthe orders of his superiors. He will fight to the<br \/>\nend alongside the shogun. His story would inspire Hollywood through<br \/>\nthe hero of the film The Last Samurai, played by Tom Cruise. From these deadly battles,<br \/>\nit was Emperor Meiji who emerged victorious, signifying his victory. The Emperor had<br \/>\nall the shogun emblems on the facades of the castles replaced with the imperial symbol, the chrysanthemum. The wearing of swords is now<br \/>\nforbidden to samurai. It&#8217;s a huge trauma for them. The Emperor settled in Tokyo and made<br \/>\nthe city the imperial capital. With him begins a new era,<br \/>\nthat of modern Japan. Japan&#8217;s openness to the rest of the world<br \/>\nnow seems obvious and natural. But that wasn&#8217;t always the case. For many centuries,<br \/>\nthis country remained closed off from the world. It was only at the beginning of the 17th century<br \/>\nthat the opening towards the West took place. The shogun of the time sent a<br \/>\nnumber of samurai as ambassadors to Europe, and among them was<br \/>\none named Asakura, who settled in Madrid where we find him. Tsune and Naga Asakura is chosen<br \/>\nto establish relations between Japan and Europe. He then became the first<br \/>\nsamurai ambassador. It was in Spain that his<br \/>\nactions would be most significant. After a four-year journey,<br \/>\nthe samurai Asakura arrives in Spain. As is the tradition,<br \/>\nhe is received by the king, here in Madrid. In his luggage,<br \/>\na large number of gifts, the most precious of which is on display today<br \/>\nin the museum of the Royal Palace. As soon as Asakura arrived here in Madrid<br \/>\nin 1615, he went to offer the King of Spain this magnificent armor. It&#8217;s a samurai suit of armor. In fact, Asakura dreams of creating<br \/>\nspecial ties between Japan and Spain. He will even convert to Catholicism<br \/>\nand call himself Don Felipe Felipe like King Don Felipe<br \/>\nand Francisco Asakura. Unfortunately, at the same time,<br \/>\nin his country, all traces of Christianity were being erased,<br \/>\nwhich did not improve relations between Spain and Japan. Asakura arrives in Spain in the middle<br \/>\nof a very important period for that country. This is the golden age and the<br \/>\nemblematic figure of this period. This is King Philip II. Son of Charles V<br \/>\nand Isabel of Portugal. Philip II reigned<br \/>\nover Spain from 1556 to 1598. He became the master of an empire<br \/>\nthat stretched across the world from Panama to the Philippine islands,<br \/>\nwhich bear their name in his honor. An empire on which the sun<br \/>\nnever sets. Located 45 kilometers from Madrid,<br \/>\nthe Escorial Palace remains the great architectural work<br \/>\nof the reign of Philip II. It consists of a palace,<br \/>\na basilica, a monastery, a college, and a library.  It is called the Parrilla of L&#8217;escorial. The grill of the Escorial,<br \/>\nin reference to the martyrdom of Saint Lawrence in the basilica, bears the name. Its architects built it by drawing inspiration<br \/>\nfrom Flemish and Italian schools. Its construction lasted 23 years,<br \/>\na record time for the era. At the entrance to the church, there are<br \/>\nstatues of David and Solomon, two kings meant to evoke<br \/>\nCharles V and Philip II. Philip II. He was a king who was both a<br \/>\nbuilder and a visionary. While he was building this palace<br \/>\nof L&#8217;escorial, this monastery, he planned a mausoleum to house<br \/>\nthe remains first of his father Charles V, then of himself<br \/>\nlater and of his entire dynasty. And for four and a half centuries,<br \/>\nall the rulers of Spain have rested here in a mausoleum<br \/>\ninside this basilica. The pantheon of kings is located precisely<br \/>\nbelow the choir of the basilica, at the foot of this marble staircase which we<br \/>\nwill take in silence, out of respect for the place. From Charles V to Juan de Bourbon,<br \/>\nthe father of the current King Juan Carlos. All the kings and queens of Spain<br \/>\nare here, with the exception of Philip V and Ferdinand VI. Amadeus I of Spain and Joseph Bonaparte.  A devout religious man and art lover,<br \/>\nPhilip II amassed over 7500<br \/>\nrelics and no less than 43 hotels at the Escorial throughout his life. From the city. The king also founded a college<br \/>\nand a seminary for children, the Escolano. They were taught Latin<br \/>\nand received a musical education. Every day, at dawn and at<br \/>\nvespers, the young boys sang for the king. Let&#8217;s listen to the sign<br \/>\nat the film club photo session. In fact, the Escorial palace is<br \/>\nentirely dedicated to Philip II&#8217;s two passions: faith and culture. Here at L&#8217;escorial, there is a room<br \/>\nthat you absolutely must discover. It&#8217;s a place that is both magical<br \/>\nand amazing; it&#8217;s the library. Come with me. Philip II had a<br \/>\nvery complex personality. He supports the Inquisition and at the same<br \/>\ntime, he will promote culture and the arts. And this library<br \/>\nis a perfect example of that. While in public squares<br \/>\nthey burn forbidden books, well here he collects them,<br \/>\nlike this Bible published and printed in Paris in 1540 and Prohibita. He will collect 1000 books like that, 1000<br \/>\nbooks forbidden here in a total collection of 40,000,000 books. In fact, Philip II wanted to make<br \/>\nthis library equal to that of the Vatican. The frescoes on the ceiling<br \/>\nrepresent the arts and knowledge, and this also allows the books to be classified<br \/>\nby discipline. And then, a small detail on the college side<br \/>\nof L&#8217;escorial, on the Academy side, you have philosophy and on the other<br \/>\nside, on the monastery side, you have theology. And of course, the two are facing each other. Libraries<br \/>\nthat arrange books in this way are rare. Look, that&#8217;s quite unexpected. All sections of the works<br \/>\nare presented facing the visitor. This has two virtues. The first is that gold<br \/>\nreflects light. And the second is that it<br \/>\nhelps to combat humidity. One of Philip II&#8217;s major reforms<br \/>\nat the beginning of his reign was to transfer the court from Toledo to Madrid. He thus created the first<br \/>\npermanent capital of Spain. When the king made the Castilian city<br \/>\nhis new capital, he forced Madrid&#8217;s landowners<br \/>\nto house members of his court. Disgruntled upper-class people<br \/>\nthen camouflage certain rooms in their house, making them invisible from the outside. This is how the Casas<br \/>\n\u00e0 Malicia came about, the houses of trickery to deceive the authorities<br \/>\nabout the number of rooms available. With the establishment of the court in Madrid,<br \/>\nluxury goods and rare commodities began to flow in from all corners of the Empire. The Spanish then discovered<br \/>\na new treasure: chocolate. Hello !<br \/>\nChocolate Churros Favor! Introduced to Spain by the conquistador<br \/>\nHernan Cort\u00e9s, it spread throughout Europe.<br \/>\nThey quickly made delicious drinks from them, prized by the court and then by the people of Gracia.<br \/>\nSO. Chocolate and. Cocoa beans were presented at<br \/>\ncourt during the reign of Philip II and Prince. Chocolate is quickly appreciated. It is spreading throughout Europe. In the case of France,<br \/>\nit achieved success thanks to the union between the Infanta of Spain,<br \/>\nAnne of Austria, and Louis XII. A curious anecdote.  It is said that in the past chocolate was made<br \/>\nin France mixed with milk and in Spain it was made with water. That was the small difference between<br \/>\nFrench chocolate and Spanish chocolate. When<br \/>\nthe famous churros were invented some time later, chocolate con churros became<br \/>\na true institution in Madrid. One of the jewels of the<br \/>\narchitectural effervescence of the Spanish golden age remains the Palace of Aranjuez. Philip II was able to satisfy this. Another of his passions is gardening. A magical setting for an<br \/>\nexceptional moment with one of the greatest French classical guitarists,<br \/>\nEmmanuel Rossfelder. Emmanuel, listen to the musical theme<br \/>\nof the Concerto D&#8217;aranjuez here in the magnificent garden of Aranjuez. It&#8217;s a pure delight.<br \/>\nGorgeous ! The golden age is a<br \/>\nvery important period for the guitar. The golden age is a very<br \/>\nimportant period insofar as the baroque guitar, used for accompaniment,<br \/>\nbecame the baroque solo guitar. She will leave the royal palaces<br \/>\nto go down into the street and people will write for her. We&#8217;re going to write for her, we will. We&#8217;re going to abandon this kind of<br \/>\nrepetitive, catchy tune, accompaniment aspect a little bit. Here&#8217;s something a little bit<br \/>\nlike that, simplistic in quotes, to turn towards a guitar that we&#8217;re going to<br \/>\nlisten to more attentively, a rather solo guitar. And one of the first pieces. So one of the very first pieces,<br \/>\nwe can say that it is Gaspard without the Spanish,<br \/>\nthe great Spanish composer who imagined this theme of Canario which we call<br \/>\nand who made the guitar a polyphonic instrument<br \/>\nwhere the melody and the accompaniment were mixed together.<br \/>\nAn example? Here&#8217;s an example.<br \/>\nHere we go. Emmanuel in the Golden Age.<br \/>\nThe seven-piece guitar has this shape. No. The guitar in the golden age was smaller,<br \/>\nit only had five strings and it sounded much less loud than this one.<br \/>\nNaturally. Because, well, there wasn&#8217;t<br \/>\nthis work with nails yet. There was not yet this<br \/>\nmore elaborate rope material. It was guts. So it was a rope that was<br \/>\nstill limited in terms of projection. Thank you for this moment and thank you Emmanuel<br \/>\nfor this little history lesson on the guitar.<br \/>\nThank you so much. During the golden age, the guitar was<br \/>\nnot the only art to develop. While enduring the harshness<br \/>\nof the Inquisition, the people tried to entertain themselves. To achieve this, the<br \/>\ninner courtyards of houses were transformed into performance spaces called Comedia choirs. This one is classified as a national monument. It is located in Almagro. It has been hosting actors<br \/>\nsince the 17th century. At the time, it was the only place where<br \/>\nall social classes met. But in the golden age,<br \/>\nmixing has its limits. Men and women must<br \/>\nkeep their distance. This is where the men sat,<br \/>\nbecause it was forbidden for men and women to mix. The women occupy the cazuela. This is the balcony. It&#8217;s called the saucepan. Because imagine all those women<br \/>\nhuddled together with their skirts. They literally had to cook. Hence its name, la cazuela de la Mujeres,<br \/>\nmeaning the women&#8217;s pot. We leave Almagro and its<br \/>\ncorrales de comedia for Madrid. Under the impetus of Philip II,<br \/>\nMadrid quickly became a city where artists flourished. It is at the San Miguel market,<br \/>\nin the historic heart of the city, that I have a meeting with<br \/>\nthe famous singer Luz Casal. She is the one who performs the<br \/>\niconic song from Pedro Almodovar&#8217;s film High Heels. What ? Suffering? I would have. GOOD. Love. But that&#8217;s life. Is not. Not.<br \/>\nNothing. Nothing. Thank you, Cindy. Manu Cazals. You have always told me that you are<br \/>\npassionate about this Spanish golden age. Has the status of women<br \/>\nevolved during this century? In fact, shortly before. Is this the woman at home<br \/>\nor in the monastery? Yes.<br \/>\nIt was either one or the other. Yes. And little by little, the Church changed. The great writer Calderon de la Barca said, &#8220;Man is the small number and woman is of this sky.&#8221; The man is handsome. It&#8217;s a small world, and the woman<br \/>\nis a small sky. This sums up the golden age for women. Is there any trace<br \/>\nin literature, specifically, of the position and the hope<br \/>\nof hope when women&#8230; Were they carrying fervent phrases? It&#8217;s written and it&#8217;s beautiful.<br \/>\nYes. Gladly.<br \/>\nGladly. We can read it. It is an allegation of the shepherdess Marcela de Conosco that todos los hermoso Amable majorquin que for reason of ser Amado<br \/>\nesta obligado lo que amado por hermoso amara climat el verdadero amor aa left voluntarios uno Fortaleza. This is the first piece of writing I read<br \/>\nfrom that era. Where the woman asserts her rights.<br \/>\nIndependence. How can I put it?<br \/>\nWhat are you saying? I am a woman with freedom. And just because you love me doesn&#8217;t mean<br \/>\nI love you. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.<br \/>\nThat&#8217;s how it is. Did Spanish artists<br \/>\ndraw inspiration from this golden age? How does it get lost?<br \/>\nNo. Especially in the theatre. This is very important to us. Calderon de la Barca, Lope de Vega,<br \/>\nTirso de Molina. They are still played today.<br \/>\nThese writers. Yes. Normally, yes. But during the Golden Age,<br \/>\na singer like you would not have been able to express herself. No, no, no.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s not. That&#8217;s impossible! No, no, no, no. I don&#8217;t know any women who sing. No women currently write music<br \/>\nfor women. I can do all the things<br \/>\nI think of, and with complete freedom. That&#8217;s it completely.<br \/>\nThe Other Woman.  So you couldn&#8217;t have lived<br \/>\nin the Golden Age? No, no, no. It&#8217;s not for me. I love history. The history of Spain<br \/>\nis very, very important to me. But I can&#8217;t imagine living like that. Gracia did it.<br \/>\nIt lasted. THANKS. There is a place in Madrid where<br \/>\n  many intellectuals still gather. This has been Herron&#8217;s caf\u00e9<br \/>\nsince its founding 125 years ago. He participates in<br \/>\nMadrid&#8217;s cultural life. Painters, writers,<br \/>\nfilmmakers, actors, poets. They all stopped<br \/>\nat that cafe one day. Libro pagina. Mysterious, unfathomable. Jose Barcenas has worked there for 38 years. The Girone caf\u00e9,<br \/>\nsince its foundation, has always favoured poetry thanks to poets,<br \/>\nbut also to the Muses. Without a muse, there is no poet. Muchacho.<br \/>\nSupport Albino Calvino and la Muerte. Alfredo. Continua. Elvira Pescador. Diano.<br \/>\nTimescape. Mar Tango ya tout sombra. Presa dentro de thoughtmiento por eso siano makea maldito mar. What will tell me if nada de loco solo como consuegra boy to the farm to you Pismo! It seems that Janos pueda librar nunca damit mat\u00e9riel kuna piedra tpc sobre tout fondo comme la rabia me<br \/>\npesa de nos pour les porcs. ESTA mi boca chica draga mare todos entero quiero ver. If you like Pena. This is going to be a disaster. Among the portraits of personalities<br \/>\nthat hang on the wall, Jose Barcenas is proud to show us a caricature<br \/>\nof the most famous Spanish writer, Cervantes. Go up, go up, go up, go up, go up. At the end of the 19th and throughout the 20th<br \/>\ncentury, artists who came here would ask for either a drink<br \/>\nor a gift from Escribir. The waiter was to bring paper<br \/>\nand a pen to the customer to write on. This is what we see in this<br \/>\ncaricature of Cervantes. A waiter brings him his recado<br \/>\nso that he can write his immortal work. The Don Quixote of La Mancha. Don Quixote and Sancho Panza<br \/>\nat the feet of their creator Cervantes. This is probably the most photographed sculpture in Madrid<br \/>\n, as the character is so universal. He is, in fact, a character who is<br \/>\nproudly claimed by the Spanish. We are at Place d&#8217;Espagne. Born in 1547, an<br \/>\nemblematic figure of Spanish literature, Miguel de Cervantes<br \/>\ninitially led a turbulent life as a soldier. He lost the use of his left hand<br \/>\nat the Battle of Lepanto, which earned him the nickname &#8220;the one-handed man of Lepanto&#8221;. His major work is Don Quixote. To evoke Don Quixote. Head to Casa de Velazquez. This French institution of the Academy<br \/>\nof Fine Arts hosts the School of Advanced<br \/>\nHispanic and Iberian Studies in Madrid. There we meet Xavier Baudoin,<br \/>\nthe school&#8217;s artistic director, a passionate fan of Don Quixote. Don Quixote is a literary myth. After the Bible, it is probably<br \/>\nthe most edited, published and translated book. This is the story of a crazy reader. So Don Quixote is a hidalgo,<br \/>\na minor nobleman who, by dint of&#8230; Reading books about chivalry<br \/>\neventually leads to losing one&#8217;s mind. And with a neighbor named<br \/>\nSancho Panza, they set off for a region of Spain<br \/>\ncalled La Mancha, the English Channel. It is a completely continental region<br \/>\nin the center of Spain, which is a high plateau which is desert-like<br \/>\nand which is a territory which is the opposite of chivalric romances. Because Don Quixote is also<br \/>\na parody of chivalric romances, and chivalric romances<br \/>\nare verdant forests. And La Mancha is<br \/>\na dry, arid territory. And it is in this territory<br \/>\nthat Don Quixote will have his adventures. We arrive in Trujillo,<br \/>\n200 kilometers south of Madrid. Cervantes stayed there<br \/>\non several occasions. Drink a beer at the cafe, drink a beer. It is here, in this cloister,<br \/>\nthat I have a meeting with one of the greatest opera singers. He interprets<br \/>\nthe death of Don Quixote for us. Ruggiero, Raimondi. Don&#8217;t cry, Sancho. Don&#8217;t cry, my handsome one. Your master is not dead. He&#8217;s not far from you. He lives on a happy island where everything is pure and without lies. In bed a little too much. Or will you come to Desired Island one day? Oh my friend Sadio, the delivery man burned down and there were no ashes. If all books kill me. It only takes a little something for me to live as a ghost in the unreal Life of love. Such is the strange fate of poor Don Quixote. For everything.  To tell you, Ruggiero Raimondi. We have just heard the death<br \/>\nof Don Quixote by Jacques Ibert. Gorgeous.<br \/>\nTHANKS. How would you define the<br \/>\ncharacter of Don Quixote? Sometimes I feel like I<br \/>\nknow him very well. That&#8217;s to say ? I too am a dreamer. I am a man who, when it comes to poetry, can have very, very sensitive reactions. The only thing I miss<br \/>\nis madness and fantasy, joy, the power of madness. This Don Quixote is a man who plays with life to give it a force of expression, to live. He knows that he is living in the moment, that he is<br \/>\ngoing against the giants, against the sheep. He is a man who refuses to see<br \/>\nreality as it is. Yes.<br \/>\nHe invents his own. World.<br \/>\nHe invents the poetic man. It is man who is<br \/>\nout of touch with reality. It is the adult who looks at<br \/>\nthe world with the eyes of a child. Yes, maybe so. He is a character who wants to play<br \/>\nthe knight, wants to play the great lord. I also want to play the savior of girls<br \/>\nwho have a problem, to save people who are oppressed. He is a kind-hearted character<br \/>\nwho wants to save the earth. It is characters like these who<br \/>\nshow us how the world as it is is not entirely satisfactory.  Quite .<br \/>\nIf we think about life, about nature. When we try to do what we would like,<br \/>\nwe always find that we are trapped in a circle because<br \/>\nthe rules of this world are too narrow for us. For people who have a dream,<br \/>\nwho have the desire to go out, to do something beautiful, joyful. We need a bit<br \/>\nmore Don Quixote. Today, I believe. Yes, that would be good. So yes, we are here in a palace<br \/>\nin Trujillo which is a cloister. Today, when you were singing<br \/>\nearlier, there were some sisters who were watching you extremely discreetly. Cervantes sometimes stayed here.<br \/>\nLaughing so much. It is also the homeland of our great<br \/>\nSpaniard, the conquistador Francisco Pizarro.<br \/>\nYes yes. So, it was he who would lead<br \/>\nSpain in the conquest of Latin America, and particularly Peru. And that&#8217;s the story<br \/>\nI&#8217;m going to tell you. We will follow this character,<br \/>\nwho is also extraordinary. And of course, it is in the main square<br \/>\nof Trujillo that you will find the statue of the conquistador. On that note, a little anecdote. The original model for this sculpture is<br \/>\nlocated in the United States, in the state of New York in Buffalo. Exactly why Buffalo, when<br \/>\nPizarro never went to the United States? Well, simply<br \/>\nbecause the sculptor is American. His name is Charles Rumsey. He sculpted this sculpture<br \/>\nof Pizarro for him, and it was only after his death that his widow offered a model of it<br \/>\nto the city of Trujillo and later to the city of Lima. Come with me, I&#8217;ll<br \/>\nshow you something else. So, before leaving for Peru,<br \/>\nI would like to show you a detail of this palace. This is the Palace of the Conquest and it<br \/>\nbelonged to Pizarro&#8217;s family, although Pizarro himself<br \/>\nnever lived there. But it appears. Look closely at the carving on the facade near<br \/>\nthis balcony, and below it you will discover his wife In\u00e8s. She is an Inca princess. So why did Pizarro set out<br \/>\nto conquer Peru? Quite simply because he<br \/>\nis searching for Eldorado. So we go with him<br \/>\nand meet up in Lima. Born in Trujillo in 1478. Son of a navigator and a prostitute,<br \/>\nFrancisco Pizarro is one of the most famous conquistadors in history. Accompanied by his three brothers,<br \/>\nhe set sail for Peru where he would succeed in subduing the largest<br \/>\npre-Columbian empire in South America, the Inca empire. When he set sail for Peru, Pizarro,<br \/>\nlike many conquistadors, dreamed of making his fortune. These hopes of riches are fueled<br \/>\nby the stories he has heard about Eldorado and the cities<br \/>\nof gold in Latin America. One of these legends has its origins<br \/>\nin the heart of the Andes mountain range.  It is said that for his coronation,<br \/>\nthe chief of an Indian people goes on a full moon night to the shores<br \/>\nof a lake accompanied by his tribe. It is then completely<br \/>\ncovered in gold powder. Thus adorned, it becomes Eldorado,<br \/>\nthat is to say, the golden one. He boards a raft loaded<br \/>\nwith gifts and glides across the waters to the center of the lagoon. There, he honors the gods by throwing<br \/>\nhis offerings into the sacred waters. At sunrise,<br \/>\nman welcomes the star of light and offers himself entirely to the Sun god<br \/>\nby immersing his body in the lake. The gold with which they were covered<br \/>\nthen spread across the surface of the lake. Upon his return to the riverbank,<br \/>\nhis subjects prostrated themselves and proclaimed him the new prince. This story is one<br \/>\ninterpretation of the myth of Eldorado. Although we still don&#8217;t know all<br \/>\nthe details, we now know the location that inspired this legend. It&#8217;s a lake in Colombia, lost<br \/>\nin the middle of the mountains. But Francisco Pizarro did not know this,<br \/>\nand his quest for Eldorado would ultimately lead him to Peru. Francisco Pizarro founded<br \/>\nLima in January 1535. He named it Ciudad de los Reyes<br \/>\nin reference to the Three Wise Men and gave it the status of capital. Built during this period,<br \/>\nthe Lima Cathedral is one of the finest examples of<br \/>\ncolonial Baroque architecture in all of America. This<br \/>\ncathedral in Lima is truly beautiful, especially its wooden pillars, which are made<br \/>\nfor seismic reasons. It must be said that the earth<br \/>\noften trembles here. And then there are these chapels<br \/>\nthat adorn this cathedral. A fortnight with a magnificent jewel,<br \/>\nthe Virgin of Evangelization. It is a Virgin Mary statue that was given<br \/>\nby Charles V and is part of the world heritage of humanity. But there is one chapel that<br \/>\ninterests us more particularly, that of Pizarro. This is the chapel. It is entirely made of ceramic<br \/>\nand dedicated to Pizarro, who can be seen here. Arriving in Peru in 1532,<br \/>\nhe was barely 54 years old and this was the beginning of his story here, in this country.  A few meters from this fresco is<br \/>\nhis tomb, since nine years later he would be assassinated not far from this<br \/>\ncathedral, in the governor&#8217;s palace. So this mosaic<br \/>\nis very interesting for us because it shows Pizarro with<br \/>\nall of his men. They have made a long journey and he is<br \/>\ntelling them, &#8220;Those who stay with me here will become rich.&#8221; And those who want to leave again,<br \/>\nwell, they will leave again towards poverty. Hence these crewmen<br \/>\nwho are depicted here completely naked. And it&#8217;s interesting because<br \/>\nit shows us Pizarro in his armor. And this armor will<br \/>\nplay a very important role during the first contact with the Inca people. Indeed, at that moment,<br \/>\na ray of sunlight will reflect in this armor and you know<br \/>\nthat the Inca people worship the Sun God and will give the impression<br \/>\nthat this character is of divine essence. And from that moment on,<br \/>\n  many, many everyday objects<br \/>\nmade of gold will be placed at his feet, and this will nourish in<br \/>\nPizarro&#8217;s mind the idea that he has indeed set foot on the land of Eldorado. The reality will be much more complex. We are visiting the Huaca<br \/>\ndella Luna site, a Moche temple located in northern Peru. The Mochica civilization<br \/>\npredates the Inca period. When the conquistadors arrive at this<br \/>\nplace of worship, they believe they will find part of the long-awaited treasure. Disappointment. The objects discovered are not made<br \/>\nof solid gold but of gilded copper. That fooled the Spanish. Obviously, they were disappointed because they<br \/>\nrealized that the gold was of low purity,<br \/>\nmeaning that it was not of high quality, like 18 or 20 carat gold. Carol Paraiso is one of the<br \/>\nworld&#8217;s top three specialists in Andean archaeometallurgy. With her, we discover the<br \/>\nprecious objects that were not melted down by the conquistadors. We are accompanying him<br \/>\nto the Larco Museum in Lima. This museum houses works of art from all<br \/>\npre-Columbian civilizations. Gold and silver had<br \/>\nsymbolic value for the Indians. Gold and silver are<br \/>\nthe ultimate metals. As in many ancient societies,<br \/>\nthey are to be linked to the stars, the sun and the moon. Gold shines like the sun,<br \/>\nsilver shines like the moon. Gold evokes the sweat of the sun. Money is more reminiscent of<br \/>\nthe tears of the moon. These two metals are extremely<br \/>\ncomplementary and they also reflect the concept of duality which is deeply<br \/>\nrooted in the Andean worldview. The consequence of looting these<br \/>\ngold and silver objects was far more important than the simple economic value<br \/>\nof losing gold or silver, but much more the loss,<br \/>\nthe elimination of an identity, the identity of the group, and<br \/>\nalso symbols of power. Here we are faced with an adornment<br \/>\nwhich represents par excellence the power of rulers and therefore ultimately,<br \/>\nby removing these objects, we lose an identity,<br \/>\nwe lose know-how, we lose a tradition, we lose a soul,<br \/>\na cultural identity. There is one place that Francisco Pizarro<br \/>\nand his men will never enter, and that is Machu Picchu,<br \/>\none of the great wonders of the world. In the heart of the Andes, this mythical place<br \/>\nhas not yet revealed all its secrets. The disappearance of the Incas<br \/>\nwho inhabited it remains a mystery. Exodus, civil wars, epidemics,<br \/>\nall hypotheses remain open. The conquistadors would<br \/>\nnever know the location. It was only four centuries after<br \/>\nthe conquest of Peru that a certain Hiram Bingham discovered it. Explorer and specialist in<br \/>\nLatin America, Hiram Bingham is passionate about the question of the Inca&#8217;s last refuge. In 1911, during an exploration mission,<br \/>\nhe discovered the city of Machu Picchu. Hiram Bingham, the intellectual with<br \/>\nthe ever-present hat who became an instructor during the First World War, is said<br \/>\nto have served as a model for the character of Indiana Jones,<br \/>\nimmortalized by Harrison Ford. It is 6 a.m. The sun has not yet<br \/>\nrisen over Machu Picchu. A very special event is being prepared. It only takes place once a year,<br \/>\non June 21, the day of the winter solstice in the southern hemisphere. The sun will cast its first<br \/>\nrays upon the altar of the Temple of the Sun through this window. Many people came this morning<br \/>\nto greet this apparition. Face faced because. The pastor. This is the moment for the planet to<br \/>\nhonor yourself. Oh ! This magical moment was<br \/>\npivotal in the lives of the Incas. The timing of the winter solstice<br \/>\nallowed them to know precisely the date of sowing and harvesting. At the summit of Machu Picchu is located<br \/>\nL&#8217;intihuatana, where the sun sets. It is both a<br \/>\nsolar calendar and an object of worship. The Incas celebrated rites there<br \/>\nso that the sun would return every year. This is a rocky outcrop which was<br \/>\nused to carve this stone which serves as a fixed element for making<br \/>\nastronomical observations of elementals. Through observation. Each time the observer stands here<br \/>\nand the sun appears at the top of the stone, it marks<br \/>\nthe end of a solar cycle. A solar cycle. It&#8217;s an observation like this, it&#8217;s<br \/>\ngoing to be a big celebration. Once the observations are made,<br \/>\ngrand ceremonies for the new year begin. It&#8217;s a way of celebrating the return<br \/>\nof the sun, which suggests a great harvest. When the sun is clearly visible,<br \/>\nit means there will be no clouds, no problems during<br \/>\nthe new year. June 21st was marked for the Incas as<br \/>\nthe first day of the new year. Even today,<br \/>\nwe savor the privilege of the moment. The sun was so important<br \/>\nthat it dictated, and not only energy, but also the possibilities of life. And to reach this level<br \/>\nof knowledge, our ancestors had to develop<br \/>\nso many things to understand how our planet works. What you see around us<br \/>\nis the result of ancient science. So our ancestors were<br \/>\nreally good at that. The Incas built Machu Picchu. Around 1450, they built it right in the<br \/>\nmiddle of the mountains which, for them, were deities. They take care to orient each of these<br \/>\nbuildings towards the east, where the sun god rises. Sacred city, imperial residence. It was also an agricultural site. From the summit to the bottom of the valley,<br \/>\nvast terraces have been laid out. They helped to feed the city. To fertilize Pachamama,<br \/>\nMother Earth. They knew how to channel and tame the water. Upstream of the. Necessariamente.<br \/>\nWhen we talk about the Incas. He. We need to talk about their<br \/>\nhydraulic ingenuity.  It is believed that they were much more<br \/>\nadvanced in this area than the Old Continent. He had a great deal of<br \/>\nhydraulic knowledge for the time. Here, you can see how the<br \/>\nunderground channels lead to this fountain.<br \/>\nAnd they continue on their way to<br \/>\nthe river below. Their earthwork system<br \/>\nalso allowed the Incas to exploit salt. The Maras salt mines,<br \/>\nnestled in the hollow of a valley, are still worked<br \/>\nby the inhabitants of the region. Salt water,<br \/>\nfrom a volcanic source, flows down by gravity into 4000 basins<br \/>\nwhere the salt is collected by evaporation. For the Incas, this salt was<br \/>\nas valuable as gold. It was used as currency<br \/>\nfor exchange and as an offering. It also allowed for<br \/>\nthe preservation of food. The Incas had also invented<br \/>\nanother preservation method that allowed potatoes to be kept for<br \/>\nseveral years. Chuno is obtained through dehydration. The potatoes are exposed to frost and<br \/>\nthen to the sun and are crushed directly on the ground. We observe. A decrease. To accommodate everyone&#8217;s tastes. Also. by accessing what we have in our homes. Because everyone has their own errands, of course.<br \/>\nEach. With our cooking. Thank you for our 40 years. And who do not see. There is no reason why they don&#8217;t exist.  They are ruined.<br \/>\nHow are you. GOOD. THANKS. When the Spanish landed in Peru,<br \/>\nthe Inca capital was Cuzco. Cusco, 3400 meters above sea level. With the arrival of the Spanish,<br \/>\nthe city will be greatly transformed. At the time, it represented<br \/>\na true political symbol. Its conquest will allow the conquistadors<br \/>\nto establish their domination over the country. Cuzco was the center of Inca society,<br \/>\nthe navel of the Empire. This is where the central power was located<br \/>\n, the officials, but also the emperor, the Inca. Moreover, in this regard,<br \/>\nit is wrong to say the Inca people, we should say the Quechua people since<br \/>\nthe term Inca was reserved for the emperor and the ruling class. So Cuzco was entirely<br \/>\nbuilt with this type of stone. Here we see a base<br \/>\nthat is from that period. Look at how these stones are chiseled<br \/>\nso that they can fit together. No cement, no mortar. It is the weight of each of them,<br \/>\nwhich can amount to tens of tons, that holds the whole thing together. It&#8217;s absolutely impressive. Kisses. Renata. Today, Cuzco celebrates<br \/>\nL&#8217;inti Raymi, the festival of the sun. This festival of L&#8217;inti Raymi was banned<br \/>\nin the 16th century by the Spanish. It resurfaced in 1944 and since then<br \/>\nit has been celebrated every year by Peruvians with a certain fervor. So of course, there are<br \/>\nsome tourists, quite a few even. But in fact, this festival has the virtue,<br \/>\nbeyond folklore, of allowing this people to rediscover<br \/>\nits roots and forge an identity. Because Miruna cunanan Castaneda,<br \/>\nbecause she does not intend to settle down. At Scoopit, this is something that doesn&#8217;t fit. Lady Ramit&#8217;s party always begins<br \/>\nhere, on the very spot where the Temple of the Sun once stood. It was the religious heart of Cuzco. It was such a powerful symbol<br \/>\nthat it impressed the Spanish. They had it razed to build.  Do you see the<br \/>\nSanto Domingo convent? Then the Inca<br \/>\nmade his appearance. He greets his court, he greets his people,<br \/>\nhe greets his close guard and the festivities can begin. The parade will begin<br \/>\nin the streets of Cuzco. We embark, we engage the clutch.<br \/>\nBa-bam. We&#8217;ll tell you everything. Let&#8217;s go back. Come on ! Come on !  And so, this is where,<br \/>\nat the Sacsayhuaman temple, this festival of the sun comes to an end,<br \/>\na little under the clouds. But it should be noted that we<br \/>\nare at an altitude of 3500 meters. It is a temple that completely dominates the landscape. You see it, the city of Cuzco. This temple was a fortress which was<br \/>\nalso the scene of an extremely deadly battle<br \/>\nbetween the Spanish and the Incas. Simply because this<br \/>\nfortress was a real stronghold. The lock that led to the city of Cuzco<br \/>\nand especially the lock that led to the Inca, that is to say, to the emperor. Anthony, who sees his friend Cosmico, who is transgenic, and me, he smiles at you. He has a good eye. To be aware of the slightest actions<br \/>\nand gestures of the different populations of his empire,<br \/>\nthe Inca relied on an incredible road network of 25,000,000 kilometers of stone roads that converged<br \/>\non the capital Cuzco. These paths were traversed,<br \/>\namong others, by the Chaskis, messengers, true<br \/>\nhigh-altitude marathon runners. By taking turns, they could cover<br \/>\n2000 kilometers in a week. To get from one valley to another,<br \/>\nthey used a bridge made of grass woven into rope. There is a high dose. Every year,<br \/>\nthe villagers of Quechua Shaka gather to completely rebuild<br \/>\nthe last bridge inherited from the Incas. That&#8217;s my business. I hurt myself like that,<br \/>\nmy little sir. It&#8217;s really very difficult. We pull like crazy,<br \/>\nit hurts our hands a lot, but that&#8217;s how we&#8217;ve been<br \/>\nworking for so many years. Thank you so much !<br \/>\nOh ! There ! There ! Ever since I was little, I&#8217;ve<br \/>\nalways seen the bridge being built like this. This bridge is much more<br \/>\nthan a passage between two banks. It is a link renewed each year<br \/>\nbetween today&#8217;s community and a know-how that comes directly from<br \/>\nthe Incas and has been passed down for centuries from father to son. Come on, come on, come on, come on! Choo!<br \/>\nTHANKS. THANKS.  It&#8217;s up to you.<br \/>\nConsider. As. We consider this bridge<br \/>\nto be something sacred. And it is our obligation<br \/>\nto rebuild it every year. Because otherwise, yes. We didn&#8217;t do that; it could<br \/>\ncause problems for the community. Through the community and that. Could cause drought,<br \/>\nfamine, or who knows what else. That&#8217;s why everyone is here. The old, the young, and even<br \/>\nthe children are there to observe. That&#8217;s how it is.<br \/>\nThe tradition cannot die out. Because here, generally,<br \/>\neveryone has a function and everyone does what they have to do. The women, for their part, keep to themselves. According to tradition,<br \/>\nthey are not allowed to approach the bridge during its entire construction. This could anger<br \/>\nthe deities and bring bad luck. They are installed<br \/>\n100 meters higher. They are the ones who braid the ropes with<br \/>\nstraw they have collected in the preceding days. At the mountaintops. As-salam. Alaykoum wa. Wa wa wa. Even as one. Farmer who owns some. Begin. The bridge will<br \/>\ntake three days to build. The ropes braided by the women<br \/>\ncomplete the structure. Well done ! Come on. And of course, the one who has the honor<br \/>\nof crossing the new bridge first. He is the head of the community. Otherwise, I&#8217;m going to eat a<br \/>\nvery, very, very, very, very, very. Very, very. A long time. Thank you very much, little brother. I hope it goes just as well<br \/>\nnext year, because we have figured out how to do it. They will judge those who come after us.  They still don&#8217;t understand. But they will learn to do it<br \/>\nand perpetuate the tradition. To your health, my brothers. We are returning to Cuzco. The locals celebrate<br \/>\nCorpus Christi, the city&#8217;s most important religious festival. For two weeks, processions and celebrations take place in succession<br \/>\n. Like its population. This festival reflects<br \/>\nthe mixed culture of the country. A blend of two worlds. Corpus Christi&#8217;s aggression<br \/>\nagainst Historia. The Corpus.<br \/>\nChristi comes from. Syncretism of the two cultures:<br \/>\nQuechua culture and Spanish culture. The Spanish imposed<br \/>\nthis on us here, in our own land. There used to be mummies here,<br \/>\nbut they adapted the saints to the Andean colours. This is where<br \/>\nthe syncretism of this story originated. And here is the Corpus Christi. And this is the Peru of the Andes.<br \/>\nHowever, the Nueva Cultura. It&#8217;s the Peru of the past<br \/>\nand the new Peru mixed together. You know that Peru is a mixture<br \/>\nof roots, cultures, and races. This is very important because many<br \/>\npeople still believe in old beliefs. By merging these two cultures,<br \/>\nyou have your present and your roots. In the temple of Santa Clara.  The final<br \/>\npreparations for the Virgin of Belem are now underway. Her statue was entrusted for several<br \/>\ndays on behalf of the parish, who dressed it up for this year&#8217;s parade. It is now up to the men<br \/>\nof the brotherhood to decorate her.  This is an important responsibility<br \/>\nbecause the Virgin of Belem is reputed to be the most generous in miracles. It must therefore be<br \/>\nthe most richly decorated. From yours. We are facing the Virgin of Belem. The boss of the. We can say that she is<br \/>\nthe boss of Cuzco. Of the vocation to which. The people are particularly fond of<br \/>\nthis image. It is a source of pride to be with<br \/>\nher and to take care of her. The Virgin Counts. She is adorned with her finest<br \/>\njewels on this feast of the corpus. The corpus. The Virgin of Belem weighs two tons. Carrying it requires the energy and strength<br \/>\nof about forty people. The exercise is not without risk. Well done ! Bravo, Bravo, Bravo!<br \/>\nWell done ! Well done !<br \/>\nWell done ! Well done !<br \/>\nMove forward. Move forward.<br \/>\nMove forward. Move forward.<br \/>\nThin. Thin.<br \/>\nThin. Thin.<br \/>\nThin. Thin.<br \/>\nThin. Thin. Thin. Thin.<br \/>\nWell done. Change. They march to the rhythm of the music. Pop Moving. As you can see,<br \/>\nthey are tilted. It&#8217;s called La Punta. Read Punta.<br \/>\nRead. Because if he walks straight, he risks<br \/>\nfracturing his clavicle, his clavicle. And for 20 years. I wore the Virgin Mary statue for 32<br \/>\nyears. This is the love I have for the Holy Mother<br \/>\nof God, of Jesus, of Jesus. The Virgin Mary. We are all very religious and we<br \/>\nhave a lot of affection for her. The procession will thus need several hours to go around<br \/>\nthe large square of the cathedral. We. We went. While the crowd outside<br \/>\ncontinues to celebrate Corpus Christi. I would like to show you a painting<br \/>\nthat perfectly illustrates the Spanish conquest strategy. And this painting is located here,<br \/>\nin this magnificent church of the Society of Jesus. After completing the military conquest,<br \/>\nafter destroying all the religious symbols of the Incas, the Spanish will<br \/>\npursue a policy of miscegenation in order to secure the support of the Inca nobility. And this period is<br \/>\nwell illustrated on. This painting depicts a couple. He is Spanish. He is a captain. His name is Martin de Loyola. She is Inca. Her name is Beatrice. She is, in fact, the last<br \/>\nprincess of the Incas. And as a little anecdote,<br \/>\nbehind the couple, a figure holding a book, is Ignatius of Loyola. He is the founder<br \/>\nof the Jesuit Order. And why is he depicted here<br \/>\nin this painting when he never came to Cuzco? Simply<br \/>\nbecause he&#8217;s the groom&#8217;s uncle. The most mixed-race city<br \/>\nin Peru is located in the south. Its name is Arequipa. Near the mountain,<br \/>\nthree volcanoes greet us. The most important one is called El Misti. Arequipa is nicknamed the white city<br \/>\nbecause of the color of the volcanic stone with which<br \/>\nit is built. This is where the largest<br \/>\nconvent in the world, the Santa Catalina Monastery, is located. He is the very symbol of the evangelization<br \/>\nof Peru by the Spanish. Built in 1580, it was rebuilt in the 17th<br \/>\ncentury after a series of earthquakes. Spanning two hectares,<br \/>\nthe convent is a city within a city, with its houses, streets,<br \/>\nsquares, gardens, and cloisters. The nuns who lived here came<br \/>\nfrom families of very diverse social origins. Some, the wealthier ones,<br \/>\nwere accompanied by their servants, but all had chosen to live<br \/>\ncloistered lives and lead an existence oriented towards prayer. Inside this convent,<br \/>\nthere is a place I would like to show you, it is this place. It is a former dormitory which<br \/>\ntoday houses about a hundred paintings from the Cuzco school. These paintings are very interesting because they<br \/>\nplayed a part in the evangelization<br \/>\nof the Indians by the Spanish. There are two paintings that I would like to<br \/>\nshow you in particular. There you go, you recognize the Virgin Mary. Well, to explain to the people that she is<br \/>\nan important figure in the Catholic religion, she is the mother of Jesus. We&#8217;re going to design a huge coat for him<br \/>\nthat will make us think of a mountain. For what ? Simply because at<br \/>\nthe time, we know that the Indians and the Incas saw<br \/>\na deity behind every mountain. This is a perfect example of syncretism,<br \/>\nthat is, the union of two worlds, of two beliefs. Another example. Jesus on the cross. Here too, the aim is to show the people<br \/>\nhow much Christ resembles them. Look at his face,<br \/>\nit&#8217;s that of an Indian. He is wearing traditional clothing. And even more surprising,<br \/>\ntake a good look at his right hand. She has six fingers. Well, this corresponds<br \/>\nto a malformation that some children had when their mother,<br \/>\nwhile pregnant, ate quinine. Here too, we are in the midst of syncretism. I&#8217;m now taking you to the Andean Museum<br \/>\nof Arequipa to meet a young girl. Her name is Juanita and her<br \/>\nstory is heartbreaking. Here I present to you Juanita,<br \/>\nthe ice mummy. She was found in 1995<br \/>\nafter a volcanic eruption that melted the snows of Ampato at an altitude of 6300 meters<br \/>\nand exposed her body. She was offered as a sacrifice<br \/>\nto the mountain gods. She must have been between. Twelve and. Fourteen years old and she was undoubtedly very,<br \/>\nvery beautiful because only very beautiful and healthy children were sacrificed. It remained like that for 500 years<br \/>\nin the ice, half a millennium. And today,<br \/>\nshe rests in this chamber at -20 degrees, still in this fetal position. Juanita, the ice princess. So. The sun sets again<br \/>\nover Peru, especially over this part of the mountain range<br \/>\nthat an American cartographer nicknamed Veronica, but which the people here have<br \/>\ndubbed the weeping mountain simply because there are always<br \/>\nclouds on its summit. That&#8217;s it, that&#8217;s the end of our story. But the Grand Tour continues. Because everything begins at the end.  See you<br \/>\nsoon. Come on Fox! Right? Oh yeah! Baby now!<br \/>\nPut on your shoes. Let&#8217;s take a break<br \/>\nto loose come for a ride. I want to take you out. Yeah!
