The Lost City of Z
🛒 Purchase Options
📝 Description
A non-fiction book by David Grann that recounts the story of British explorer Percy Fawcett, who disappeared in 1925 while searching for an ancient lost civilization in the Amazon. The book blends historical research with Grann's own journey into the jungle to retrace Fawcett's steps. It explores the theory that the Amazon was once home to complex, large-scale urban civilizations, a concept that was long dismissed by traditional archaeology but has been supported by recent LiDAR discoveries.
💬 Quote Context
