The legend of El Dorado has captivated the imaginations of explorers, adventurers, and treasure hunters for centuries. But for Colonel Percy Fawcett, it was more than just a myth. He believed in the existence of the golden city, known to him as "Z," in the jungles of Brazil, and dedicated his life to finding it.

Percy Fawcett's quest was shrouded in mystery, and his disappearance during his final expedition only added to the allure of the legend. This is the story of a man who risked everything to uncover the truth behind the lost city of El Dorado, and the legacy he left behind.

You find the find ‘gold’ when/where you’re NOT looking for it.  If it’s there. 

But for the most part, the ruins were all looted out and claimed/lied about long ago.  What’s interesting is that the science says there should be a LOT MORE GOLD on Earth than now is, ...suggesting that the ruins that litter the world were the ultimate result of an alien quest to steal it from the aboriginal Earthlings/Atlanteans.  Sitchin somewhat supports this idea.  They  came here for the gold, met resistance, then came up with the plan to use massive force to destroy the resistance, and/or cover-up their raping/pillaging, which ultimately (intentionally or not) caused the sudden emergence of the deadly Ice Age, circa 115k BC, adding the zero back to Plato’s timeline.

Nobody gets paid to tell the truth.
