Not the same discovery as seen in the FR topics Explorers Unearth Lost Inca Stronghold in Peru or Machete-Wielding Team Discover Inca Fastness Lost For Four Centuries, although one of the discoverers of this also discovered one of these others.

The story is a year old, but the link still works.

But now you have to post the update. ;)

	Gods Graves Glyphs	Explorer Who Found Lost Peru Cities Dies by Martin Griffith Sunday, September 16, 2007 Douglas Eugene "Gene" Savoy, an explorer who discovered more than 40 lost cities in Peru and led long-distance sailing adventures to learn more about ancient cultures, has died. He was 80. Savoy died of natural causes Tuesday at his Reno home, his family said Saturday... Hiram Bingham considered Machu Picchu to be the site of Vilcabamba after he discovered it in 1911 in the Peruvian Andes. But scientific consensus now points toward Espiritu Pampa as the Incas' last stronghold; Bingham also discovered that site but Savoy's excavation work in the mid-1960s found it to be a much larger settlement than originally realized. In the next 40 years in the jungles of Peru, Savoy discovered more than 40 stone cities of a mysterious pre-Inca civilization known as the Chachapoyas. Among them were Gran Pajaten, Gran Vilaya and Gran Saposoa. Bon voyage. To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.
