Ellen Lloyd - AncientPages.com - In 1925 Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett, one of Britain’s greatest explorers vanished in Brazil. Colonel Fawcett who was searching for the mysterious ancient Lost City of Z, that he believed was hidden somewhere in the Amazon Jungle.
Colonel Fawcett and his two companions, his son Jack Fawcett and Raleigh Rimmell vanished without a trace and their disappearance remains an unsolved mystery.
It appears that after reading an old document he found in the library archives at Rio de Janeiro in 1920, Colonel Fawcett became convinced there was a Lost City in the Amazon Jungle.
The author of the mysterious document states the voyagers found an ancient lost city.
Interestingly, the author points out that the buildings in the jungle remind more of ancient Greek architecture than works of the people living in this area. The characters in the document appear to be of Greek or Phoenician origin.
We also learn that the houses found by the Portuguese expedition were richly decorated, but strangely there were no objects inside them.
