The Mysterious Cities of Gold
Season Info.
Les Mystérieuses Cités D'or ytb (2, 2.0)
Good news! There is a faster and easier way to watch all seasons in either French or English (except for the 4th season of course, because it is not in English yet)
But wait a second! There is a heads up. Nothing bad, mind you. But here is a message from the YouTuber that owns the channel, which is the name in the title:
I put the 4 seasons in French + the 3 seasons in English and many other foreign language seasons including season 4 in Catalan that I am posting.
But in fact, on my channels the episodes are private. And to watch them, subscribers would have to give me their email addresses in order to unlock the episodes for them on my YouTube channel.
Only season 4 in French is available in the evening (French time 7:00 p.m.) + all weekend.
On weekdays, there will only be 4 episodes available.
This is the cause of the rules that I must respect according to the rights holder of the series because I have contacts.
The episodes are not necessarily available every day, but only on weekends to sum up.

SEASON 1:
It is the 16th century. From all over Europe, great ships sail west to conquer the New World, the Americas. The men, eager to seek their fortune, to find new adventures in new lands. They long to cross uncharted seas and discover unknown countries, to find secret gold on a mountain trail high in the Andes. They dream of following the path of the setting sun that leads to El Dorado and the Mysterious Cities of Gold.
PLOT:
In 1532 a Spanish orphan named Esteban joins Mendoza, a navigator, and his associates Sancho and Pedro, in their search for one of the Seven Cities of Gold in the New World, hoping to find his father. They are joined on their quest by Zia, an Incan girl, who was kidnapped by Fransico Pizzaro, Gomez, Gaspard, Perez, Mendoza, and then Tao, a boy, descended of the sunken empire of Mu.
The series is a mix of ancient South American history, archaeology, and science fiction. The travelers encounter the Maya, Inca, and Olmecs during their journey. They discover many lost technological wonders of the Mu Empire, including a solar-powered ship, the Solaris, and The Golden Condor, a huge solar-powered ornithopter, a mechanical bird, capable of traveling considerable distances under the sun's power alone. They are constantly pursued by antagonists, Gomez and Gaspard, who are also in search of the Cities of Gold.
The Seven Cities of Gold were built by the Emperor of Hiva over the fear of a global war that would destroy all civilization. Such a war did break out, destroying the Empires of Mu and Atlantis when they used the "Weapons of the Sun". The Seven Cities of Gold hold copies of books in their "Universal Libraries" as well as powerful artifacts, including the "Great Legacy", a portable fusion reactor. Other elements of this technology turn up in unexpected places, like the Solaris in Tao's home island, Esteban's and Zia's medallions as keys to the Cities, or Tao's jar as an important piece of the Great Legacy.
Reminiscences of this ancient story are present in Inca legends written on golden quipu, which only Zia can read. This triggers an obsessive quest for the Cities of Gold on the part of the Spaniards Mendoza, Gomez, Gaspard, and Francisco Pizarro.
Esteban seeks his long-lost father and is tied to Mendoza, who rescued Esteban from a sinking ship when he was a baby. Esteban seems to have a magical ability to make the Sun appear, which proves to be an invaluable asset throughout the series. Zia also seeks her father, from whom she was taken when she was seven and brought to Spain as a gift to the princess. She has a medallion just like the one Esteban carries.
Tao seeks signs of his ancestors. He possesses an encyclopedia about their lost technology and a mysterious jar which according to the legend, only the High Priest of the City of Gold can open and proves to be the Great Legacy's cooling or control rod system. Mendoza, Sancho, and Pedro are motivated by their search for gold, though Mendoza appears to be genuinely fond of the three children.
The Olmecs are the descendants of survivors of the global war who hid under their mountain. Only their elite were able to survive, suspended in cryogenic hibernation. The Olmecs do not appear to be human-or if they were once Human, it is implied that they have horribly mutated from the fallout of the nuclear war that destroyed their ancestors. They are short, thin, and have pointed ears and enlarged frontal bones. They are highly intelligent but devious and selfish.
Led by their king, Mentor, the Olmecs seek an artifact called the "Great Legacy" to power their cryogenic systems, as well as samples of healthy cells from the children to combat their mutations and their sterility. Their technology is generally inferior to that of the modern age, and they use weapons such as spears and swords. They maintain some elements of their advanced technological heritage, such as the stasis and medical technology used to keep the elite of the Olmecs in suspended animation until an opportunity arises when they can be revived, powered by what appears to be a geothermal power system.
This power system is destroyed in an escape by the children and Mendoza, starting a frantic search by the Olmecs for the fusion reactor core (the Great Treasure) hidden in the City of Gold. They also have a single flying machine that appears to use very similar technology to that of the Golden Condor. It is armed with some kind of particle beam or focused heat weapon of great power.
Eventually, the Olmecs succeed, at great cost, in taking control of the Great Legacy. It begins to meltdown without the moderation provided by Tao's jar. The resulting earthquakes and volcanism destroy the City of Gold. A world-threatening meltdown is avoided by the personal sacrifice of Esteban's father who, acting as the High Priest of the Cities, is presumed to be dead after replacing the jar. At the end of the series Mendoza, Sancho, and Pedro, having salvaged some gold before the city's destruction, return to Spain-while Esteban and his friends set out across the Pacific on the golden condor in search of the remaining Cities.
