 Can you try to imagine what it was like living in America in the year 1492.  Your whole life and all your beliefs are about to change forever.  For the people living here, the arrival of the Europeans was as startling as an alien space invasion would be for us.  They didn't know that life existed anywhere else.  Certainly not beyond the horizon.  After the arrival of the Europeans, the natives suffered from disease, malnourishment and abuse and lost as much as 90% of their population.  But there was no turning back.  The Age of Exploration had begun.  And this age brought about a whole new world where different cultures were connected all over the world.
