00:15 [male narrator] -A long, long time ago,
00:17 when long beards were all the rage,
00:20 a rather insightful inventor
00:23 put some big ideas center stage.
00:27 If you haven't already guessed it...
00:29 This visionary is me!
00:32 And this is the story of how I became
00:35 the legendary Leonardo da Vinci.
00:38 [music starts]
00:40 -The kings will be here in a fortnight.
00:45 -I want something big!
00:48 -These ideas will bring you much trouble.

01:39 On the road to fortune and fame
01:42 and an adventure full of pride.
01:45 -Oh, shoot.
01:48 -This talk of science and discovery
