don not know if this contain any spoiler or not and but i do not want to risk be blacklist until the year 3462. i disagree entirely with the viewer comment that have describe gun and germ and steel a politically correct and neo marxist . they can not have watch the same series that i do . the series i watch depict the history of european colonisation in the america and southern africa with no particular inaccuracy . i saw nothing in the series that portray european a bad people who happen to be lucky and though european often be lucky and there nothing wrong with luck . neither do i see native people portray a poor little innocent thing . if anything and the inca be rather arrogant a you would expect any leader would be when deal with foreigner and if his country have not be conquer in live memory by any other world power . i certainly saw nothing that could be construe a marxist or neo marxist and except by the most incredibly elastic of imagination . otherwise and many african people do have a build in immunity to malaria and other tropical disease that europeans lack . at the time they be at the height of their success and the aztec and maya and inca civilisation be as advanced a any other in the world and a wealthy while sometimes more so . aboriginal american and khoi san population be decimate by smallpox and other disease introduce by european while just a european colonist be decimate by tropical disease like malaria . ( note represent the khoi san people be completely different from all other sub saharan african people . ) so and i do not see what some of the other commentator be complain about . the only thing i can find to complain about be that the series doesn not tell me anything i do not know by the time i finish seventh grade . there really nothing new in the way of historical information in this film . it do and however and present some nice dramatisation of event and such a the conquest of the inca while the production value be very high while and it fill in a few hole here and there that do not get cover in mrs. gruber sixth hour social study class at milan middle school . if you rent or buy this and assume you have a decent primary and or or secondary school education and you would not learn anything new and but you will have an enjoyable and entertaining time review what you already learn ( or should have learn ) by the time you hit high school .
