And I'm now reading the book titled "1492", which details the early cultures of North and South America, before the year 1492. It is really amazing for me to learn that for hundreds of years in South America there existed cities larger than Paris was in the 1500s. There is so much that our schools mislead us about simply by ignoring things.

That was a good book! If you like that, you might also consider:
1421: The year china discovered america - Gavin Menzies
The Lost Empire of Atlantis: History's Greatest Mystery Revealed - Gavin Menzies
I have yet to read the second (waiting for it to arrive in the mail), but 1421 was so well done that I'd be very surprised if it isn't quite interesting as well.

Hi Lorenzo! First of all let me express my gratitude for all the great podcast that you have put out over the years! Has meant a huge deal for me! I also find the early history of the Americas interesting and I am always looking for new literature on the subject - I was wondering if you got the title wrong and in fact are referring to 1491 by Charles Mann https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/39020.1491 ? All the best, Ben
