@@TheJoshman01history is hard to remember when it was either never written down or the records that did exist got destroyed or lost because, it’s, yaknow, some fragile paper sadly enough. There is so much in our past that we will never know, the vast majority went undocumented, almost no one could write, and even if they could, they wouldn’t carry around ink and paper all the time. Just imagine reading stories about travellers walking the roads between ancient Mesopotamian cities like Uruk and Babylon, the wonders they would have seen, and how different their daily lives would have been.

Going into the Amazon and poking around is like jumping over a fence with a sign that says " beware of Dog" just to pet the Dog.

Sad thing is, you can now easily see what his Native informant was referring to- we now know the Amazon River valley was very heavily populated, but Introduction of European diseases decimated whatever nations were living there. The "cities" weren't any more or less advanced than the average Natives, there just used to be way, way more people in that region with a lot more settlements with higher populations.

while i tend to believe he just died of exposure or some other ailment, i'd admit that the jungle there has all kinds of hidden things we have no understanding of. lidar scans are revealing things and who knows, with the rate they're cutting down the amazon (sadly) they may very well uncover something like ruins.

It's sad to see that people are calling these types of videos a "LEMMiNO" Genre, Although It's true that It's very close to LEMMiNOs videos, no one really own any style,. YES, LEMMiNO did bring these 'mysterious' and 'enduring' types of videos with It's memorable Black and White/Gray Color to light, but It's not kind or appreciating to call another youtubers videos a "LEMMiNO Style" but nevertheless, these videos sure are captivating and very enjoyable to watch, made by LEMMiNO or Whomever. all the best LNS!

Avid watcher of, "I shouldn't be alive" series. The deep Amazon basin is still a killing ground for the unwary. Personally, I wouldn't head out with a GPS, an AR-15, a canoe and 4 native guides in 2024. Never mind 10 mules and a compass in 1924. A century has passed and you are still one nasty fall and an infection from certain death. The early explorers had guts.

I minor adjustment it is not Cuiabá the pronunciation, the diacritic á at the end of Cuiabá means the pronounce is Kuyabaah. I find incredible that while people use horses at the Pantanal the place Fawcett went more North people used rivers as transportation, at least in the parts where that is possible, going with horses at the 1920 expedition mirrors Scott in the Antarctic that used Mongolian poneis, and wanted to make the end of the trip by man alone, and incredibly stupid arrogant idea, while Amundsen used dogs and succeeded. The same cultural blindness and hubris that Ford had when he tried to build Fordlândia. Why Fawcett didn't used the common form of transportation preferred by people in that region that use horses only at Pantanal but not deep in the jungle where people go by boat or by feet escapes me. My assessment is exactly the same of John Hemming (17:41). Here in Brazil there are a dozen stories and theories about what happened to Fawcett including (AFAIR) navigation device (I can't remember if it was a compass a sextant or what UPDATE mentioned at 13:47) found by someone years later that seem to have been owned by Fawcett. The story about the Nahukuá and Suyas is many times told and the two peoples accused each other for a long time after this account the Suyas saying the Nahukuá were trying to divert the blame to them and vice versa and probably have not to do with Fawcett death anyway, so many white people from Europe were killed by natives that if you asked to them they could not know if it was Fawcett or not or even if the story of one tribe killing was true or just two enemy tribes setting the score for old grudges. 14:09 The Villas Boas Brothers were living legends here in Brazil, when TV shows had a slow day they called Orlando to tell one of his numerous stories, always a new one, it was impossible to get tired of hearing the man tell those stories even the trivial ones with passion, he was respected by everyone. I remember all those I heard to this day and I wish I had heard more. He worked at FUNAI a foundation o the government to look after native people's interests, and he was fired by FAX he got heartbroken, the reason is bureaucratic and correct to a point but it doesn't fit here the way in which was done is what hurt him, but public opinion was, as always on his side to the point of the president call him to apologize. He died two years later in 2002, as always Brazil hurt its real heroes and decorate its real parasites.
