Indigenous tribes speak of ancestors who fled there to escape the Spanish invaders, and they warn that anyone who enters this sacred city will fall ill and die. In 1940, swashbuckling journalist Theodore Morde returned from the rainforest with hundreds of artifacts and an electrifying story of having found the Lost City of the Monkey God - but then having committed suicide without revealing its location. Three quarters of a century later, bestselling author Doug Preston joined a team of scientists on a new quest. In 2012 he climbed aboard a rickety plane carrying the machine that would change everything: lidar, a highly advanced technology that could map the terrain under the densest rainforest canopy. In an unexplored valley ringed by steep mountains, that flight revealed the image of a sprawling metropolis, tantalizing evidence of not just an undiscovered city but an enigmatic, lost civilization. Venturing into this treacherous but breathtaking wilderness to confirm the discovery, Preston and the team battled torrential rains, quickmud, disease-carrying insects, jaguars, and deadly snakes. But it wasn't until they returned that tragedy struck: Preston and others found they had contracted in the ruins a horrifying, sometimes lethal - and incurable - disease. Suspenseful and shocking, filled with colorful history, hair-raising adventure, and dramatic twists of fortune, The Lost City of the Monkey God is the absolutely true, eyewitness account of one of the great discoveries of the twenty-first century.--From dust jacket. 586 $a New York Times Best Seller List. 600 10 $a Preston, Douglas J. $x Travel $z Mosquitia (Nicaragua and Honduras) 651 0 $a Mosquitia (Nicaragua and Honduras) $x Description and travel. 651 0 $a Mosquitia (Nicaragua and Honduras) $x Discovery and exploration. 650 0 $a Extinct cities $z Mosquitia (Nicaragua and Honduras) 650 0 $a Cities and towns, Ancient $z Mosquitia (Nicaragua and Honduras) 650 0 $a Indians of Central America $z Mosquitia (Nicaragua and Honduras) $x Antiquities. 651 0 $a Mosquitia (Nicaragua and Honduras) $x Antiquities. 650 1 $a Indians of Central America $z Mosquitia (Nicaragua and Honduras) $x Antiquities. 650 7 $a HISTORY $x Americas (North, Central, South, West Indies) $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY $x Expeditions & Discoveries. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY $z Latin America $x Central America. $2 bisacsh 600 17 $a Preston, Douglas J. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00176816 650 7 $a Antiquities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00810745 650 7 $a Cities and towns, Ancient. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00861870 650 7 $a Discoveries in geography. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00894950 650 7 $a Extinct cities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00918959 650 7 $a Indians of Central America $x Antiquities. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969435 650 7 $a Travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155558 651 7 $a Central America $z Mosquitia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01310122 600 17 $a Preston, Douglas J. $z Travel. $2 sears 651 7 $a Mosquitia (Nicaragua and Honduras) $x Description and travel. $2 sears 651 7 $a Mosquitia (Nicaragua and Honduras) $x Exploration. $2 sears 650 7 $a Extinct cities $z Mosquitia (Nicaragua and Honduras) $2 sears 650 7 $a Cities and towns $z Mosquitia (Nicaragua and Honduras) $2 sears 650 7 $a Native Americans $z Central America $x Antiquities. $2 sears 651 7 $a Mosquitia (Nicaragua and Honduras) $x Antiquities. $2 sears 650 7 $a Indians of Central America $z Mosquitia (Nicaragua and Honduras) $x Antiquities. $2 unknown 655 0 $a True adventure stories. 655 0 $a Travel writing. 655 7 $a Travel writing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919983 655 7 $a True adventure stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919984 655 7 $a True adventure stories. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Travel writing. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20210607151132.0 $n 7 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2D1154B4AC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
