EP 20 - Physicist • Fortress • Family [ENGLISH]

Object Obscura

In this episode we travel to a factory that made objects over 200 years ago. An industrious complex in the northeast of Brazil built between 1804 and 1808 has baffled archeologists for over 100 years. It all started when a Portuguese physicist arrived in São Luís in 1799. In this episode we will hear the stories from the family that takes care of the 19th century ruins.
