0:00:00 The Lost City of El Dorado
Percy Fawcett, A British Explorer with A Distinguished Military and Surveying Background, Became Obsessed with Finding A Mythical City of Gold He Called “Z” in the Amazon Jungle. After A Failed Expedition in 1920, He Secured Funding Through A Deal with A Newspaper Alliance for A New Expedition in 1925 With His Son and A Friend. The Three Men Vanished Without A Trace, and Their Fate Remains A Mystery to This Day. Recent Archaeological Discoveries in the Same Area Have Revealed Evidence of A Vast Ancient Civilization that Thrived by Using A Unique Man Made Soil, Proving Fawcett Was onto Something, Though Perhaps Not Gold.

0:48:13 The Hunt for Machu Picchu
Hiram Bingham, A Yale Scholar and Academic, Was Driven by A Need for Fame When He Began His Quest to Find the Last Refuge of the Incas, A City Called Vilcabamba. In 1911, While Searching the Urubamba Valley, He Was Led to A Remote, Overgrown Site Known As Machu Picchu, Which He Believed to Be the Lost City. After A Period of Intense Publicity, Bingham Became A Global Celebrity, and His Discovery Was Hailed As the Long Lost Final Stronghold of the Incas. However, Modern Scholars Now Believe that Machu Picchu Was A Royal Estate Abandoned Long Before the Spanish Arrived, and Bingham Had Actually Found the Real Vilcabamba In the Jungle but Dismissed It As Unimpressive.

1:37:57 Aztec Eagle Warriors
The Aztec Eagle Warriors Were an Elite Military Force Renowned for Capturing Prisoners for Human Sacrifice, A Practice Central to Their Religion and A Tool for Intimidating Rival Nations. In 1519, Their World Was Turned Upside Down by the Arrival of Hernán Cortés and his Spanish Conquistadors, Whose Strange Weapons and Animals Baffled Them. After Months of Uneasy Peace, A Spanish Massacre of Aztec Nobles Led to Open Revolt, With the Eagle Warriors, Under the Command of Montezuma S Brother, Quicklawak, Trapping the Spanish in Their Palace. In A Daring Night Time Escape, Cortés and His Men Were Ambushed on A Narrow Causeway in A Battle the Spanish Called “La Noche Triste,” A Major Victory for the Eagle Warriors. Although the Aztecs Initially Routed the Spanish, Their Empire Was Ultimately Undone Not by Spanish Steel, but by European Diseases that Decimated Their Population.
