They are constantly pursued by antagonists Gomez and Gaspard, who are also in search of the Cities of Gold. </p><p>The Seven Cities of Gold were built by the Emperor of Hiva out of fear that a global war would destroy all <a href="/wiki/Civilization" title="Civilization">civilizations</a>. Such a war actually broke out, destroying the Empires of Mu and <a href="/wiki/Atlantis" title="Atlantis">Atlantis</a> when they used the "Weapons of the Sun".<sup id="cite_ref-AncientWar_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-AncientWar-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The Seven Cities of Gold hold copies of books in their "Universal Libraries" as well as powerful artefacts, including the "Great Legacy", a portable <a href="/wiki/Fusion_reactor" class="mw-redirect" title="Fusion reactor">fusion reactor</a>. Other elements of this technology turn up in unexpected places, like the <i>Solaris</i> on Tao's home island, Esteban's and Zia's medallions as keys to the Cities, and Tao's jar as an important piece of the Great Legacy. </p><p>Reminiscences of this ancient story are present in Inca legends written on golden <a href="/wiki/Quipu" title="Quipu">quipu</a>, 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 <a href="/wiki/Francisco_Pizarro" title="Francisco Pizarro">Francisco Pizarro</a>. </p><p>Esteban seeks his long-lost father and he is also tied to Mendoza, who rescued him 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 and was brought to Spain as a gift for the princess Margarita when she was seven years old. She has a medallion just like the one which Esteban carries. </p><p>Tao seeks signs of his ancestors. He possesses an encyclopedia which contains information about their lost technology as well as a mysterious jar which according to the legend, only the High Priest of the City of Gold can open, and it proves to be the Great Legacy's cooling or control rod system. Mendoza, Sancho and Pedro are motivated by their search for gold, but Mendoza genuinely appears to be fond of the three children. </p><p>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 <a href="/wiki/Cryogenic" class="mw-redirect" title="Cryogenic">cryogenic</a> hibernation. The Olmecs have evolved from centuries living an underground existence; they are short and thin, with pointed ears and enlarged frontal bones. They are highly intelligent but insular and distrustful of all others. </p><p>Led by their king, Menator, the Olmecs seek an artefact called the "Great Legacy" in order to power their cryogenic systems, as well as samples of healthy cells from the children in order to combat their mutations and their <a href="/wiki/Sterility_(physiology)" title="Sterility (physiology)">sterility</a>. The Olmecs make use of contemporary devices such as <a href="/wiki/Spear" title="Spear">spears</a> and <a href="/wiki/Sword" title="Sword">swords</a> alongside elements of their advanced technological heritage; such as stasis and medical technology which allows the elite of the Olmecs to remain in suspended animation, awaiting an opportunity to revive them. </p><p>This power system maintaining the Olmecs cryogenic systems is destroyed during an escape by the children and Mendoza, causing the Olmecs to conduct a frantic search for the fusion reactor core (the Great Treasure) which is hidden inside the City of Gold. They also possess a flying machine which appears to have been constructed with the same type of <a href="/wiki/Out-of-place_artifact" title="Out-of-place artifact">advanced technology</a> which the Golden Condor was constructed with. It is armed with a particle beam or a focused heat weapon which is very powerful. </p><p>Eventually, the Olmecs succeed, at great cost, in taking control of the Great Legacy. It begins to <a href="/wiki/Nuclear_meltdown#China_syndrome" title="Nuclear meltdown">melt down</a> without the moderation which is supposed to be provided by Tao's jar. The resulting earthquakes and <a href="/wiki/Volcanism" title="Volcanism">volcanism</a> 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 he replaces the jar. At the end of the series, Mendoza, Sancho and Pedro, who have salvaged some gold before the city's destruction, return to <a href="/wiki/Spain" title="Spain">Spain</a>, while Esteban and his friends set out across the <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Ocean" title="Pacific Ocean">Pacific Ocean</a> on the golden condor in search of the remaining Cities of Gold. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Episode_list">Episode list</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Mysterious_Cities_of_Gold&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Episode list"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The show was first broadcast on <a href="/wiki/NHK" title="NHK">NHK</a> in Japan on the 1 May 1982 and in France on 28 September the same year on <a href="/wiki/France_2" title="France 2">France 2</a>.
