- 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? 😂😂😂

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.
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
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”.
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.
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
5:59 what a face, those eyes.... extraordinary
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! 👍🥰
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.
The hubris of thinking that our modern methods must be the best, and that our ancestors couldn't have innovated better than us
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.
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
You are so lucky. I want to visit Amazon
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.
Great video! I was enthralled and sad when it was over. Thank you.
I liked the history, the story at the end 😮 I really enjoyed the videos of the Amazon‼️💥🌎
Great episode and amazing soundtrack. Nice work Mooch.
I highly recommend Aguirre, Wrath of God; incredible film ❤🎉
Keep in mind how many cities are overgrown with jungle vines and abandoned over the centuries.
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.
✨✨✨
I always enjoyed this series.
Great work
North !!!! Love John !!!!
Don't play with fire. Be responsible and family is more important
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!
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.🤦♂️
Couldn't we just use Google Earth now and find the city, lol
No
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 journeys itself are worth more than any treasure.
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.
The quest of the golden colored corn. Eaten.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
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
And no mention of the lidar study’s which basically discover a bunch of Amazon cities?
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!
More information and backstory here of Col. Percy Fawcett that hasn't been told for 80+ years of historical documentation and presentation

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.
Its here in Guyana next to Brazil on top of a mountain i found it
What I found is made of stone and granite.
I found it I found it. I know where it's at. I found the place the secret I found it..

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
Might be an invisible in the invisible like picture in the picture.
The music is so un constant in volume that listening to the documentary is difficult. The edito must listen before broadcasting.
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.
Explore Golgumbaz Deccan india
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.
If he "knew the location", why did he spend years looking for it? 😂
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 video needs more ads.
I think finding the foundation of youth better 😎
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 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 ! ! !
the sculture gold look like akan gold sculture
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.....
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?
I reckon it was a giant ant 🐜 that got him in the end
less guessing more fact.
in pasific.
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.
Its in a mountain ⛰️
It's not a city of gold. It is a place of gold. Not a city a place where the gold is found
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.
Didn't the jwst captured on interstellar cosmic the el Dorado???
El Dorado = KGF
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
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 💀
Wait what. He went alone & then just tured around & caught a boat too ? Wtf 😊😅
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.
I've nvr seen eye linds that big my bad 😢
I guess $5000 was a lot of money back then?
Yes
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.

3rd rate explorers, 1st rate main course
ITS NOT LOST CITY OF GOLD ITS 7 CITY'S THAT HAD GOLD
Explorers, adventurers, thrillseekers, daredevils - always middle-aged and always men. I wonder why...
Because they have/had the money to do so?
So you dd no research but to grab info )much of it misinterpreted) from previous docs. Damn people are so lazy. You bring nothing new to this story.
Colonel Percy Fawcett is a great man cuh!! a great man! you better respect cuh!!! or else
i thought one of the conquistadors said he sailed up the amazon, seen a "city of gold", came back, told europe, they went back, and they couldnt find it. not even the city (because the people died from disease and the jungle swallowed up whatever visible city you could see from the river) and they called him a fraud.
why was this not included. also who was this guy i cant google find him. help.
His name was Juan Martin conquestodo. I found a ston city on top of a mountain in Mt County. But it's under sand and water. I need help. There are steps made out of granite that's weight about 2 ton each block. There is more if interested.
