又称天启四骑士(Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse),出自《圣经新约》。
传统上和文学作品里将其解释为:白马骑士-瘟疫、红马骑士-战争、黑马骑士-饥荒、灰马骑士(一说绿马骑士)-死亡。
不过,对于白马骑士的解释略有争议,有神职人员和宗教学者认为其代表征服。
主持人最后结束全篇时的总结:
For many millennia, Spain has been the borderland, the crossroad,the battlefield of empires, faiths and peoples.
It's extreme position at the edge of Europe has intensified the extremity its rages, it furies,it conflicts.
Carthaginians versus Romans, Muslims versus Christians,Catholics versus Protestants,fascists versus communists,
Spain has always been throughout history,
the cauldron of civilizations,the furnace of faiths.
