“In 1925, the legendary British explorer Percy Fawcett ventured into the Amazon jungle, in search of a fabled civilization. He never returned. Over the years countless perished trying to find evidence of his party and the place he called “The Lost City of Z.” In this masterpiece of narrative nonfiction, journalist David Grann interweaves the spellbinding stories of Fawcett’s quest for “Z” and his own journey into the deadly jungle, as he unravels the greatest exploration mystery of the twentieth century.”

Great book, never got made into a movie, which was supposed to star Brad Pitt.

I was impressed with the intensity of the lifelong search for just such a city.

I hope I live to see them uncover it.

****Morde was killed in a car accident before he could reveal its location.****

Odds are that there is little if any gold left.

Intriguing. I’m interested in knowing what they find. I read the book mentioned above about the lost city of Z, and recommend it to anyone who frequents this type of post.

The city’s precise location remains a secret, to prevent potential looting. In cooperation with the Honduran government, Elkins is planning a ground expedition to explore the site at close quarters in the autumn. He is also making a documentary film about the project.

Well it won’t be much of a secret once they lead a film crew to the temple complex.

Once the scientists have gone there the looters will there to shred the place; if they haven’t been there already.
