Who still believes that Christopher Columbus "discovered" America? And not even the numerous people who had inhabited the so-called "New World" for thousands of years,
when the Genoese began to appreciate towards the end of the fifteenth century, and declared the Caribbean islands to "West Indies". No, about 500 years before, the first Europeans
were on North American soil. So the question should rather be, how was it possible that this fact remained almost unknown for so long? "The ways of the Lord" portrays
how it might have been. Mighty interests have therefore sought to retain this knowledge for themselves. Your problem: There is the map of a Viking chief who gives information about
the hidden paradise in the West and which is repeatedly given up on winding paths. The result is an enormous intrigue at different times, in different places, which leads from
William the Conqueror over the crusades and temple rulers to Columbus. And the obscure forces are not afraid of anything to make sure the card does not fall into the wrong hands.
A captivating historical drama surrounding one of the greatest secrets of the Middle Ages.
