A team of archaeologists, while searching for the ancient City of the Monkey God, discovered on something much more incredible: not just a lost city, but an entire civilization lost in the annals of time.
In 2012, an aerial survey of a remote, unexplored valley in Honduras revealed the ruins of a pre-Columbian city. Some thought that it may have been the City of the Monkey God. As the National Geographic reported:
“For a hundred years, explorers and prospectors told tales of the white ramparts of a lost city glimpsed above the jungle foliage. Indigenous stories speak of a ‘white house’ or a ‘place of cacao’ where Indians took refuge from Spanish conquistadores—a mystical, Eden-like paradise from which no one ever returned.”
