The Explorer Who Vanished In Search Of Amazon's City Of Gold | Myth Hunters

[@vectravi2008]

I read recently that using airborne LiDAR a group had discovered a lost city in the area were he went missing

[@fongy200]

I saw something in the National Geographic, they had the LIDAR visuals. Most definately grid patterns under the surface. How thick can the Fauna grow in 5 years? How much in a 1000 years? The Human being is fickle in the face of nature.

[@buzz5969]

Maybe they should use MIDAR to locate him.

[@RandomlyRandom2025]

They don't know what area he went missing in. So how could they have found a city "in the area he went missing"? The conquistadors in the 1500's saw cities and large groups of people up and down the Amazon river. Of course they had cities and people.

Reading the credits, this documentary was made in 2012. A lot has come to light in the 12 years since then.

Yes with sat and lidar, still an interesting doco though, for its time.

The Amazon has been studied much deeper. We know they had very large civilizations. We have found them using l.i.d.a.r laser imaging.

[@voornaam3191]

​@@tranoble7321 The only thing I know, is that Brazil is destroying it faster and faster, until all Brazil looks exactly like Europe or the States. No more tropical rainforest. Just morons in huge pickup trucks. And nothing green.

They didn't make it they uploaded it it was made year's ago and there hasn't been 1000 documentaries made on it at all only 1000 rubbish u tube videos get your facts right 😂

[@dinarusso3320]

It's also possible someone found it in the past and stayed quiet, would have been the smart thing to do 😮...

[@GeneralBlorp]

Yeah I figure it’s more likely that they died before telling someone cuz that’s a tough secret to keep when it takes a dozen people to go anywhere / do anything on an expedition like that.

[@dinarusso3320]

@@GeneralBlorp I agree, but if I found something like that, I would keep quiet otherwise a million people would go there looting and destroy it

[@mightywolf4072]

If i could've, i would want to continue his search and possibly find them as well.

Eldorado Edgar Allan Poe 1809 - 1849 Gaily bedight, A gallant knight, In sunshine and in shadow, Had journeyed long, Singing a song, In search of Eldorado. But he grew old- This knight so bold- And o’er his heart a shadow Fell, as he found No spot of ground That looked like Eldorado. And, as his strength Failed him at length, He met a pilgrim shadow- ‘Shadow,’ said he, ‘Where can it be- This land of Eldorado?’ ‘Over the Mountains Of the Moon, Down the Valley of the Shadow, Ride, boldly ride,’ The shade replied,- ‘If you seek for Eldorado!’ This poem is in the public domain.

In the early 1900 hundreds the world was much different and if you were privileged to be raised in a decent family and had food to eat and education you are ready to explore the world . If in the other hand you got raised in a poor family no resources no food no education and just learn from seeing others things could’ve turned out differently. 😮

The 90’s movie Congo reminds me of this story.

[@VanishedPNW]

Based on novel by M. Crichton, undoubtedly he was a big fan of this story

[@TheSilmarillian]

Interesting indeed.

[@MagiMys]

This documentary is a masterpiece of adventure and history! The depth of research and the way it chronicles Percy Fawcett's relentless pursuit of the lost city of Zed are nothing short of amazing. The detailed narrative and the suspenseful presentation highlight the perils and passion of Fawcett's journey. It's a must-watch for anyone interested in exploration and the enduring allure of ancient mysteries.

[@barrellracer]

The Lost City of Z (2016) with Charlie Hunnam & Tom Holland wasn't half bad

[@nellmay7192]

fun fact, i am related to this man, what a coincidence for him to appear on my fave youtube channel

[@captainfuzzysoutdooradvent9310]

Me to I'm a Fawcett and always thought we were related lmfao 😂✌

[@LonelyRanger902]

If you have rifles and ammunition, you can always hunt and get meat. I don’t think they starved. I think that the man with the leg injury definitely slowed them down. They probably went to the natives for help, and were murdered in their sleep. As the narrator stated, the Indians were very aggressive in that area.

[@mrgoblueguy]

I believe he became obsessed with the jungle and died there. He was never going back no matter what happened

[@Angela-ne9cy]

I don't understand how they got correspondence out of the jungle? How did the runners find them then dash out of a dense jungle on a regular basis? But when they disappeared, no runner was there to report what happened. Am I missing a detail?

[@markmeenaghan934]

Supply line,mail etc

[@RandomlyRandom2025]

They usually had guides with them. And once the guides left or didn't wanna go any further, they would take the letters back with them, and they would eventually be sent out.

[@jjwhy321y3]

There was no 'city of gold's in 1920's. If anything, it was looted hundreds of years beforehand. Look at the culture in time frame (rubber boom). Slavery, robbery and murder permitted. Anything remotely valuable would've been looted.

John 3:16 Context 13And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. 14And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
