The Lost City of Z

This episode delves into the mysterious disappearance of British explorer Percy Fawcett, who vanished in 1925 while searching for a legendary ancient city—Z—deep in the Amazon rainforest. Fawcett believed Z was proof of a lost, advanced civilization, inspired by Indigenous legends and ancient manuscripts.

Despite skepticism, modern discoveries of pre-Columbian settlements and infrastructure in the Amazon suggest he may have been right. Over 100 search parties followed in his footsteps—many never returned.

Whether myth or reality, the Lost City of Z remains a symbol of obsession, hidden knowledge, and the mysteries still buried in Earth’s wildest places.
