"Spanish adventurer Gaspar de Carvajal wrote of "cities that gleamed white" and "very fruitful land," on his wanderings along the Eucadorian Napo River in 1541. But today there is little evidence of such a civilization. Instead this corner of the Amazon, like the rest of the massive tropical forest, is seemingly inhospitable: full of dense, obstructive vegetation and buzzing with poisonous creepy crawlies"
Scientists have found indication of ancient human residence in the Amazon, that reminicent of this city that Carvajal described. I think this is interesting because it raises the question, " Are there other "mythical cities that have a foot in the real world?" I mean who knows maybe Atlantis and El Dorado are actually real. Who knows?????
Here is the link.
