Omschrijving

Join a real-life adventure--a scientific expedition to a remote area of the Honduran rainforest, suspected to be the ruins of the Lost City of the Monkey God.

In the dense rain forest of Honduras, a legend lay hidden. For centuries, explorers had searched fruitlessly for a rumored lost city. With the help of a new technology called lidar, which uses a low-flying plane and laser technology, filmmaker Steve Elkins and his team found promising evidence of where the city might be. But to know if they had really found an ancient archaeological site, a team of explorers and scientists still had to go into the rain forest to look for it. The team only had ten days to hike into the dense jungle, likely unvisited by humans in the past 500 years, and locate the archaeological site. And what they found was not what they had expected.

In fact, the discoveries were so astounding that more expeditions followed the first. From close-up encounters with fearsome predators to swarming insects to dangerous flash floods, the explorers faced numerous challenges as they worked to find artifacts and document the diversity of life in this remote area. Award-winning science author Sandra Markle takes readers along on this series of scientific expeditions to discover what secrets this lost city holds.
