The video highlights Fawcett's bravery in facing the perils of the Amazon jungle to search for a mysterious civilization. How do you think his journey has changed the way we view the Amazon and its ancient societies?

The lost city of Z was one of the greatest films I’ve ever watched. Told the story of the lost city so well, and the acting was phenomenal. 10/10 definitely recommend

Is it a movie, or a documentary? TYIA

[@lukemurray4950]

There is a movie of this?

[@TylertheViking93]

@@loraweems8712 it is technically a movie but the movie is about the documented life of Percy fawcett and his son hunting for the lost city of z.

It’s beautifully written and the cast/acting is top notch.

The book is excellent. The movie was also very good. Called “The Story of Z”.

[@jhamza7834]

I find it interesting that all the clues that told him to turn back or stop the exploration and yet he continued to do it. It's interesting how people willingly search for things but sometimes those things should not be found.

Wonderful documentary about that lost ancient civilization (El Dorado)legend, sharing by an excellent ( Timeline) channel.

[@G02372]

I visited a lake in Colombia where the muisca tribe used to throw in small pure gold rafts and statues as part of their ceremonies. I was told it ties in with the El dorado story. Over the centuries people have attempted to drain the lake and dive but it is simply too deep. I saw examples of the statues and rafts in the Gold museum in Bogotá, an incredible sight.

[@Gemini_Gorex]

I remember hearing something about that

[@thewatchorn]

The gold museum in bogota is amazing. Really all of Colombia is. By far my favorite place in the world.

[@cynthiaalver]

Great video! I was enthralled and sad when it was over. Thank you.

[@Acer_Maximinus]

It was a classic tactic of native tribes to tell explorers that what they’re looking for is in a far off direction. Just to lead them away.

I wish this series was more accessible. It was on Amazon a few years ago. I watched most of the first season. Takes you to another time in alot of the episodes.

I am actually more impressed with the guide, it tools them so many days and hardship in exploration yet the guide can run up and down as if a breeze to deliver written news… the guide probably know the place even better than anyone else

[@cattymajiv]

Which is always the case, of course. They do deserve great credit though, most especially the mountain guides in dangerous terrain. And more than others, the Sherpas on Mount Everest. They frequently get injured and killed, so that rich tourists with inflated egos can see the top, and their families pay very dearly for it.

[@juspete5527]

Wow way to point out obvious. The guide know more than others crazy

[@Bobcat753]

This should be named the Life and times of Percy Fawcett, there is very little in it related to archeology.

[@cattymajiv]

True. But they didn't claim it does. They used the title of the original film maker. This channel just contracts with the copyright holder to be able to use the film.

[@WorldMysteries2u]

Truly captivating and inspiring! The story of El Dorado and the relentless journey of explorer Percy Fawcett amazes me with the power of belief and the passion for discovery. The video not only introduces a famous legend but also brings to life the dream of mysterious civilizations hidden deep within the Amazon jungle. Thank you to the channel for providing such an insightful and authentic look at one of history’s greatest mysteries!

The Amazon soil blows my mind. Someone figured it out and it can’t be replicated. We can pay a little more for steaks. Protect the jungle

[@Bearly7feettall]

Well there’s black soil down below which Amazonians created by realizing fires create fertile soil.

[@jaymhennessey4425]

According to the book, they were seen going up the mountain, where they were told not to go because that’s where the cannibals were. They watched the campfire for two nights, and then on the third night there was no more fire. Sounds like cannibals got them to me.

He died chasing his dream. I don't have any sorrow about that. If we can accept that fact that we will all die, we can then realize that it's how we live that matters. He lived pursing shaping his own destiny, and met the same end that we all will. I don't feel sorry for him. I admire him. We should all be so lucky.

There’s man eating fish in those rivers down in the Amazon 😅 but realistically they probably all were killed and eaten by something on land

[@bethbartlett5692]

Lidar has proven that he was correct. A series of cities intertwined by highways connecting them and a capital city. This was home to an Ancient Civilization and as advanced as were the other areas in Central and South America. Advanced evidence found in the Terapratta, Terrace Gardens, vast plants that were planted by man rather than nature, the Forest was planted, Earthquake resistant building techniques, Megalithic Building, and more, the man was accurate and I suspect his journals would be filled with information far more accurate than the "Mainstream Academia" belief based "19th Century Theory based Paradigm and Linear Timeline". Minds that exercise Freedom of Thoughts, that are Fully Open, free of predetermined Beliefs, Theories, Opinions, are the Authentic Academics who are truly enjoying the Explorations and making the Discoveries. I hope their experience was fulfilling and they made their transitions into Nonphysical with ease and peace. I also hope his wife and their families were able to find a secure comfort and harmony in time. His fortitude and inspired Explorations are truly a timeless worthiness example for others. ✨✨✨

[@historicalowl-n2m]

Percy Fawcett's explorations are truly inspiring, showcasing the boundless determination and ambition of the human spirit. What do you think drove Fawcett to risk everything for this dream?

Most likely, Riley’s foot got too bad to travel. Percy left the two in order to seek help from hostile natives. He never made it back. And the 2 died, or were found and killed as well.

[@joeydickerson3739]

Lost!?? You mean stolen? Cmon now 😂

[@daivonearorash2512]

Agreed. After a few weeks of no communication, the British army went there to steal and kill lol the end 😆

[@animalswin2105]

So the Spanish stole the Incas, Aztecs Mayans' gold. But what did they do with it? I mean, concetely, where is it kept, or what did it finance ? It's not like Spain was the wealthiest kingdom after the colonizing/plundering...

[@Grumpalump01]

A lot of Spain's ships were lost at sea, most likely carrying gold. There are treausre hunters who still look for Spanish galleons!

[@thegoldenorder1240]

Tribe led the stranger to a bogus area. Strung him up and likely burned him alive. So others wouldn't be led to the actual location.

[@cattymajiv]

This is generally well done, but like many of the videos on this channel, the music drives me nuts! It's much too dramatic and much too loud. So many documentaries are wrecked by this. The editors must have been on amphetamines or cocaine. The show is almost unwatchable due to the constant, overly dramatic, and LOUD music ! ! !

[@1nsurr3ction]

I have a theory that the music is the work of someone's son or daughter.. rather than get someone talented to do the audio mixing, they employ the offspring of someone quite high up.. sad, really

[@turquoise_hexagon_sun]

[@DutchFurnace]

The idea that Western explorers are responsible for the death of this civilization has always been weird to me, as they already reported a declining civilization with abandoned cities from the very beginning, and then I'm talking about the locals who gave this information to the explorers causing the desire for exploration by these explorers who'd be later be blamed for the death of the civilization they were exploring based on the "we're the last of a great civilization" information from the locals.

[@animalswin2105]

White people' guilty conscience ?

[@1023cincy]

All of the Mayan cities were long buried and deserted when the Spanish arrived. The end of the Doc has no evidence that Spanish disease killed these so called civilization in the Amazon. There is still not enough evidence for a city as large as they suggested.

[@cyprian93]

i waste my time looking for answer and at the end we got nothing

[@donlitos]

Someone please tell me when this original documentary was made? I am Peruvian, I've studied permaculture, Terra Preta, and indigenous methods of agriculture. The strategic burning of material (BioChar) to create activated carbon / charcoal and then inoculating it with bio waste and systemic organics like nematodes exponentially increasing the fertility of the land where NOTHING should grow in the Amazon, which supports the theory of agriculture in the jungle was lost for millennia. There is also ancient pottery and geographic 'rings' found around these areas (maybe to increase water capture) which supports the theory of a massive lost civilization in the Amazon jungle potentially beyond millions, and not hunter gatherer based.

This sttory has been described and written on Greek mythology, then , more tthan sixty years ago, to be honest with you, I turn 74 years, Encyclopedia Americaner, Japanese Encyclopedia, botg of them is out of dated, they had pualished sixty years ago, sixty years has passed after that, novility has been discovered and the truth has been availed. If you want to discover the riddles, why don't you do it by yourself? Don't get involved someone else,something, they have been very bothered , annoyed by your cheap selfish, greedy ambition. He was just ridiculous, idiot, simpleton.just failure. Read Four Books and Five classics of Confusiasm for ethical vewpoint. At last, thanks for your great footage, very enlightened.

Couldn't watch much further than 3.30, after the 'conquest' of South America was described as romantic. And a bit further on, the indigenous tribes described as 'an area crawling with dangerous locals'. South America is on par with North America, and Australia, for the genocide and subjugation of the indigenous people, which should be viewed as one of the most shameful episodes in human history. But apparently the search for treasure makes it all OK.
