- 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.

Thank you for not flooding this show with advertisements every 10 mins. Makes the show sooo much better. 😊❤
10 minutes? More like every 2 minutes. Between the youtube ads and the in video "sponsor shoutouts". We now watch commercials with a little program in between. What videos are you watching? 😂😂😂

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
There is a movie of this?
@@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”.
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.
Because they don’t exist.
O0o0o0o0 it's a Jeff battle!
@@autotek7930 Haaa! True!
A battle to the jeff
@@jeffclark7888maybe they don't maybe they do we don't know you say it don't exist bcz you have not seen it or have any evidence for its existence. The same thing can be said about God yet billions of people believe he exist. Everyone out there is in search of something that to some don't exist and some just believe .
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.
The Amazon on Amazon
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
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.
Wow way to point out obvious. The guide know more than others crazy
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.
I remember hearing something about that
The gold museum in bogota is amazing. Really all of Colombia is. By far my favorite place in the world.
@@thewatchorn me too. Tropical, cold, pacific, Caribbean. Amazing place. It has changed a lot since I first went in the 90’s. Big contrast between poor and rich.
5:59 what a face, those eyes.... extraordinary
This should be named the Life and times of Percy Fawcett, there is very little in it related to archeology.
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.
Great documentary on past large civilizations of South America. We have been discovering more and more remarkable evidences of causeways, trading btwn areas, agricultural attempts. It won’t surprise me that we will find Amazon societies that excited centuries, even millennia ago! 👍🥰
Wonderful documentary about that lost ancient civilization (El Dorado)legend, sharing by an excellent ( Timeline) channel.
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
Well there’s black soil down below which Amazonians created by realizing fires create fertile soil.
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.
Great video! I was enthralled and sad when it was over. Thank you.
The hubris of thinking that our modern methods must be the best, and that our ancestors couldn't have innovated better than us
True.
Great episode and amazing soundtrack. Nice work Mooch.
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.
Stuff like this sends shivers down my spine.... I would love to go on a real treasure hunt...🙏❤️🇬🇧
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.
✨✨✨
Thank you for all your help Martin God bless you
I liked the history, the story at the end 😮 I really enjoyed the videos of the Amazon‼️💥🌎
Great work
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.
White people' guilty conscience ?
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.
I highly recommend Aguirre, Wrath of God; incredible film ❤🎉
I always enjoyed this series.
Don't play with fire. Be responsible and family is more important
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?
Keep in mind how many cities are overgrown with jungle vines and abandoned over the centuries.
Terra Preta is full of humus.
North !!!! Love John !!!!
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
Poor Percy ..
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.
Yes indeed! Very well said! To many people, a more sedentary life is not worth living.
@@Davivd2
“We should all be so lucky”
If you consider being eaten by cannibals lucky.🤦♂️
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.
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!
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.
Great documentary, i dont understand how they knew about what happened at the campsite, or what he wrote in his letters to his wife, if they were never found. how did this info get out. or did i miss something.
He had runners taking messages back to civilization periodically
I haven't watched it yet, but from watching a lifetime of these things, I imagine they used a lot of what is called "creative license".
The music is so un constant in volume that listening to the documentary is difficult. The edito must listen before broadcasting.
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...
A lot of Spain's ships were lost at sea, most likely carrying gold. There are treausre hunters who still look for Spanish galleons!
The journeys itself are worth more than any treasure.

More information and backstory here of Col. Percy Fawcett that hasn't been told for 80+ years of historical documentation and presentation
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. Thank You
At the very end of the video, in the credits, it says it in roman numerals.
yet its still a mystery.... why our present scientist try to find it if they believe it still exist... i guess its just an ancient story.....
The quest of the golden colored corn. Eaten.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Check Matergia with Rafael Mercado and the investigations that have been done specially in Peru, the altars to their gods were covered in gold, their city of gold is called Paititi
And no mention of the lidar study’s which basically discover a bunch of Amazon cities?
Back then the Indians on top of the mountain here in Guyana. Use to trade gold for food. From the Indians that use to live on the coast lands. Food cannot grow on top of the mountain mountain
Think poor old Percy must of over indulged in the local flora, seeing a city of gold wouldn't be the only thing you'd see.
Its here in Guyana next to Brazil on top of a mountain i found it
What I found is made of stone and granite.
This video needs more ads.
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 ! ! !
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
Lost!?? You mean stolen? Cmon now 😂
Agreed. After a few weeks of no communication, the British army went there to steal and kill lol the end 😆
I found it I found it. I know where it's at. I found the place the secret I found it..

It's not a city of gold. It is a place of gold. Not a city a place where the gold is found
Nah they had a chief that would cover himself in gold dust. They have also found gold trinkets in the river. It is still out there or someone found it and said nothing.
Couldn't we just use Google Earth now and find the city, lol
No
El Dorado = KGF
The first mass extermination of natives correspomds with first contact with scandinavians and their diseases. Everywhere there is evidence of tribal migrations and abandonment around the same period
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.

I guess $5000 was a lot of money back then?
Yes
Might be an invisible in the invisible like picture in the picture.
If he "knew the location", why did he spend years looking for it? 😂
Terra Preta - it's called compost. Probably forbidden now because of biological/ecological/whateverological rules, but it's good stuff if you get it right.
No, no, it's magic black soil.
I reckon it was a giant ant 🐜 that got him in the end
I always get a kick out of how our scientists think that they are the smartest and most advanced of man kind. I personally don’t wait for another person to tell me what to believe!
i waste my time looking for answer and at the end we got nothing
El Dorado is in Sri lanka , king ravanas golden lanka , its stated in ramayan
I love ramayan noodles.
Rocky Bhai wants to know your location 💀
Its in a mountain ⛰️

The Terra Pretta and the wisdom of the native people of Amazonian is worth all the gold in the world ...but modern man has no means of understanding such treasure.
That's because they know only materials and believe this is wealth.
the sculture gold look like akan gold sculture
in pasific.
They found it.
It all started with George rr martin😂😂
My love for ancient history began!!❤
One of the cities is saposedly in Utah in the canyons but it's never been found its called qui veira if I spelled that right
What does "saposedly" mean?
well, no one has found it yet.
City of gold is in The skypiea duh
It was in the Indiana Jones movie the kingdom of the crystal skull😅
Supposedly there is 13 crystall skulls I think 5 or so have been found around the world. They have no idea how they were made

Why didn't it too comment section 14
I think finding the foundation of youth better 😎
It's not in South America, it's in North America in the Grand Canyon.
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.

The OP has given us great food for thought here. It's not ok, but that's not what this guy was doing, not in any way.
He’s describing how the Explorer felt in that time period…
Calm down and get off your virtue-signalling horse.
They were eaten.

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.
The greatest treasure is?? That which is eternal!! Acts 2:38 shows how to enter that kingdom!! God’s providence my friends!!
Seat of soul,soul of vine beauty heart soul Gaia mother take care of her more then bounty City of gold,ring heart soul 💧🧿🌳💜💚

This shouldnt even be on this channel. This isnt history. Its myth. Entertaining but obvious nonsense.
If it existed, we wouldve found it by now
🎉🎉🎉
I do not believe el dorado is real...however Atzlan did, and it was in bolivia...
