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

      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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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. 😮

    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.

    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.
