Every age has its secrets. Every empire, its dreamers and betrayers. The Chronicler is my journey through time — exploring the turning points, forgotten voices, and remarkable lives that shaped our world. I create cinematic stories from history’s greatest moments — not as distant facts, but as living, breathing tales of humanity.

His mission: to open a sea route to India, unite with lost Christian kingdoms, and claim the riches of the Orient.Episode 3 of Portugal’s Age of Exploration follows da Gama’s preparation, Lisbon’s transformation into a global hub, and the spiritual fire driving the Portuguese empire. From the shipyards of Restelo to the first encounters on the Swahili coast, this chapter captures the moment the world changed forever.⚓ Episode 3: The Fortunate King’s Gamble (1497)#History #Portugal #AgeOfExploration #VascoDaGama #1497 #Documentary #HistoricalSeries #TheChronicler
