 Deep in the Brazilian rainforest, a civilization existed thousands of years ago that was so highly advanced in construction and exploration to the point that we can't even reach the area in which they thrived in this day and age. It is strange to think this, we literally can't find this place anymore, but it's there alright. In 1753, a manuscript was published in Rio de Janeiro describing how a group of explorers found a magnificent stone city in the middle of the rainforest. The document is so-called Manuscript 512 and it has served as a reference guide through the generations in the search for the lost city. Just wait till you hear this. Manuscript 512 tells a magnificent story of a lost city in the Amazon. It details vast concrete streets, roads, and houses. It tells of how the city's design was in that of the ancient Greek style and how the markings were in that of hieroglyphics that the explorers could not decipher. It is astonishing to think that a civilization thrived here in the ancient past, they were obviously skilled workers, and came from a prolonged period of time. But what could have happened to them is an utter mystery. But could a Greek and Egyptian task force really have reached this region? This is an area of our planet that is beyond vast, and we struggle in this day and age to even comprehend the sheer scale of the Amazon. Completely devoured by the jungle over millennia, the houses in the city, all extremely well decorated, had been abandoned for a long time and had no objects of furniture inside. The descriptions of the city has a characteristic of different civilizations of ancient times, especially Greek and Roman. Although it also contains details not identified or without association, the author of the manuscript notes that all the houses in the city, for their regularity and symmetry, seemed one. As if they were from one single owner, meaning they were all connected with doorways just as if it were all one huge complex. The enigmatic text of the manuscript is completed with curious details, such as documenting the discovery of a bag of gold coins bearing the silhouette of an archer and a crown, or the reproduction of hieroglyphs copied from various corners of the city, which some say bear an uncanny similarity with Greek and Phoenician letters. One of the most famous explorers to have set out in search of the lost city was Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett, who, together with his son Jack Fawcett and Riley Remmel, entered the Amazon jungle in search of a lost city in 1925. Fawcett, who was already extremely interested in the rumors spread by local Indians about lost cities located in uncharted parts of the Amazon, after reading the manuscript 512 for himself, it was enough to convince him that the stories were true. Fawcett did not believe that it was the natives who erected the lost city, but a lost European civilization. It is thought he reached the city on a previous exploration, but it is unclear if he or his son reached it on the second attempt. They were never seen again. The manuscript now refers to the lost city that in the 21st century we call Z. Our fascination continues to grow as we learn about the ancient past and the lost history of humanity. Slowly but surely the evidence is gathering and what we once considered to be nothing but a myth is revealing itself to in fact be accurate accounts of the lost history of our civilization.
