Indigenous tribes speak of ancestors who had fled there to escape the Spanish, warning that anyone who disturbs this sacred city will fall ill and die. In 1940, swashbuckling journalist Theodore Morde returned from the jungle with hundreds of artifacts and tantalizing stories of having seen the crumbling walls of the Lost City of the Monkey God. Soon after, he committed suicide without revealing its mysterious location. Three quarters of a century later, author Doug Preston climbed aboard a single-engine plane carrying laser technology that could map the terrain under the dense rainforest canopy. That flight revealed for the first time an unmistakable image of a sprawling metropolis, proof of not just the mythical city but an entire lost civilization. A riveting eye-witness account of one of the great discoveries of the twenty-first century. 541 $d 20230127. 650 7 $a Travel $z Mosquitia (Nicaragua and Honduras.) 650 $a Extinct cities $z Mosquitia (Nicaragua and Honduras) . 650 4 $a Cities and towns, Ancient $z Mosquitia (Nicaragua and Honduras) . 650 7 $a Indians of Central America $z Indians of Central America $y Antiquities. 650 4 $a Expeditions and discoveries $v Mosquitia (Nicaragua and Honduras.) 651 $a Mosquitia (Nicaragua and Honduras) $x Description and travel. 651 $a Mosquitia (Nicaragua and Honduras) $y Antiquities. 651 $a Mosquitia (Nicaragua and Honduras) $v Discovery and exploration. 651 $a Latin America $x History. 651 7 $a Central America $x History. 655 7 $a Travel writing. 655 $a Audiobooks. 700 $a Mumy, Bill, $d 1954-, $e narrator. 941 $a 1 952 $l WHPE115 $d 20230823010918.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=66D6F170417A11EE9B571BA043ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
