  • Legend tells that somewhere in South America there is a great city of gold, El Dorado, a fabulously rich and sophisticated kingdom that was once home to thousands of people living deep in the Amazon jungle. To most people it was just a legend. But for British explorer, Colonel Percy Fawcett, it was real. Convinced he knew the location of this lost world, he spent years searching for it.

    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.

      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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    The city was a wrong traditional information handed down to next genetations. From Sumerian Texts. A gold rush happened in the andes. The Anunnaki specifically Ninurta discovered these nuggets of gold that even occupy a river below where gold nuggets slides from the side of land of the land slides. These were filed temporary before it was transported by the Anunnaki. These large file of gold nuggets made the place like a city of gold. After it were all transported. The gold files were gone. Thus the so called city of gold from traditional informations.

    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.
