My wife's Father, Harry O'Sullivan was an interpreter/barber on board a ship that sailed Col. Percy Fawcett and his son up the Amazon River to Manaus, Brazil. He cut Col. Fawcett's hair on a previous voyage and was one of the last white man to see them alive when he cut their hair before they disappeared into the juggle.
maybe he found eldorado and he lived a happy life
I watched the film. I didn't know about the sad ending. That ending broke me. This type of film or books wake my Human Spirits. Every discovery they talk about in the book or film, i celebrate that moment in my mind.
Maybe he found Z but he didn’t want others to find it because of exploitation.
The point is, Murray was the biggest trouble of all this
I'm Brazilian and heard some local people saying Fawcett's family is not interested in providing DNA material to elucidate the case because they profit on this story. The youngest son wasn't in the expedition and wrote a book about it, they want to keep it alive
He was to experienced with that Jungle and the natives to all of the sudden fall victim. He gave false information regarding the location of Dead horse camp. The location he writes in coded letters to his wife is not even close to the dispatches he sent back to England. My theory is he found it. And he realized what would happen to the jungle and all of its native people if he told the world of his discovery. They would be destroyed.
Maybe they werent killed. However they probably found the Lost City Of Z but the tribe never allowed them to return home in case they told the world about their discoveries and everyone just became greedy and went to exploit the lost city. So they were probably forced to live with the tribe forever.
Let it just be that way. Mystery. That's a better way to preserve it. So when asked we can simply say I don't know. But the movie was good, been watching it several times now
he's the real indiana jones
Imagine going out with two family members in the Amazon basin with all the tech and gear we have now. It'd be a tremendously scary pursuit. Now, imagine floating down in rafts that had openings in the bottom and getting into rivers that flowed this and that in tributaries you'd have to walk through in 1925. In 1925. With just a mattress. No motorized craft. With your son and his friend. With little food and clean water. And having to give gifts to every tribe or tribal member you met.
I read somewhere that one of the chiefs told Percy that if they continued to go further in the jungle they’d risk losing their lives bc of the war tribes they’d be running into but Percy didn’t listen. My guess is that they died from the jungle. Disease, wild animals, etc. They could’ve also been eaten by another cannibal tribe.
wow, jack fawcett is a good looking man, but sad to say he was long gone with his father. After watching the lost city of Z I CAN'T even get a good night sleep, while wondering about the stories end。
They were likely killed by a tribe. There are so many of them in the Amazon and many are not welcoming to outsiders. The Amazon is a mysterious place even to this day. I'm actually surprised Percy survived multiple expeditions.
Couldn't you just walk through the jungle, yelling Marco?
At the end of the movie, the elderly guy is given a compass or watch thing which was Percy's and Percy said that if he ever found the City of Z, that he would send him the compass as a sign. Did this happen in real life?
In addition to the 60'+ Anaconda Percy killed, the local tribes reported that an even larger serpent of a different species inhabited the rivers and jungles the area. Brian Fawcett wrote a book, "Lost Trails, Lost Cities", about his fathers adventures based on the letters Percy sent from the jungle. Having been in the jungle once I can honestly say that once is way more than enough. A though a giant snake is scary it's the little things likes poisonous centipedes longer than that monitor your reading this on...UGH!
I think he and other 100 explorers were attacked by the people of the “lost City of Z”.
Thank you for a very concise and informative video on this. You do excellent work!
Just found this video after reading the book, excellent summation of the viable outcomes...thanks so much.👍
