Before Spain: The 7 Powerful Kingdoms of Ancient Philippines

Описание: 📜 Description

Long before Spanish colonization, the Philippines was home to powerful and highly advanced kingdoms that thrived for centuries. This documentary takes you on a journey into a forgotten golden age — a time when ancient Filipino civilizations ruled trade routes, mastered gold craftsmanship, developed their own writing system, and built strong political and social structures.

In Episode 1, we explore the rise of the Seven Lost Kingdoms of the Philippines, uncovering how these civilizations flourished for nearly 900 years before Spain arrived. From extensive trade networks with China, India, and the Arab world, to sophisticated artistry, maritime technology, and diplomacy, this episode challenges the myth that Philippine history began with colonization.
