Percy Fawcett Walked Into the Amazon for a Lost City — And Never Came Back

Percy Fawcett Walked Into the Amazon for a Lost City — And Never Came Back In 1925, British explorer Percy Fawcett is already famous for mapping rivers nobody wanted to map. Then he becomes obsessed with a lost city he calls Z, somewhere in the Mato Grosso. He takes his son and one other man, and they walk into the Amazon. They send a last letter. Then the jungle closes. Expeditions go looking for Fawcett. Some of those expeditions vanish too. Bones get claimed. Bones get denied. Z stays a rumor until the jungle is scanned from the air a century later. He went looking for a city. The forest kept the explorer instead. #PercyFawcett #Amazon #lostcity #Z #exploration #history #storytime #stories #YtShortStories #storytime #stories #ytshortstories #percyfawcett #amazon #lostcity #z #exploration #history
