Included in Aztec and Mayan legends, Conquistadors had heard rumors of its existence when exploring the New World, but never found it. During World War 2, Nazi inspired archaeologists were convinced they had pinpointed its location. They packed a U-Boat with supplies and set a course for the Amazon Jungle. They disappeared!Many adventurers eager to claim the legendary gold as their own entered one of the most inhospitable places on earth, the Amazon Jungle. Most were never seen again!And yet the exact location of El Dorado and its fantastic hoard of Mayan, Aztec and Inca treasure so many have dreamed of finding, remains a mystery. Any who may have stumbled upon it never returned to tell the tale. It was as if someone, or something, was protecting it... In 1925, Victorian explorer Colonel Percy Fawcett enters the Amazon Jungle to search for a Lost City. Like so many before him, he was never seen or heard from again. Until now!When a message from the past is discovered washed up on an English beach, it reveals new information about the ill-fated 1925 expedition.

*Includes pictures. *Includes historic accounts about the myth of El Dorado. *Includes a bibliography and footnotes for further reading. Alongside the famous Lost City of Atlantis, perhaps no mythological city has captured the imaginations of people or been the source for exploration quite like El Dorado, the fabled city of gold that the Spanish believed was located somewhere in South America. The origins of the Spaniards' belief in the existence of the mythical city was based on their rumors surrounding the tribal chief of the Muisca in present-day Colombia; the Spanish heard that his initiation included covering himself with gold dust and diving into Lake Guatavita. Of course, if the chief could cover himself in gold, he must have access to a lot of it, and around this figure, the myth of El Dorado sprang up as the location of it. Naturally, the belief in the existence of El Dorado propelled it from being merely a city to an entire empire itself, and this spurred several journeys in the 16th century, including one by Francisco Pizarro's half-brother, Gonzalo, and another by Sir Walter Raleigh. Although none of these journeys actually discovered such a place, they resulted in plenty of lives lost and a lot of exploration of the heart of South America. Moreover, despite the fact none of the explorers actually found El Dorado, the rumors and journeys only cemented the belief that such a place existed, and El Dorado was actually located on maps made by several European nations for centuries. As folklorist Jim Griffith once put it, "El Dorado shifted geographical locations until finally it simply meant a source of untold riches somewhere in the Americas."In fact, it would not be until about the early 19th century that explorer Alexander von Humboldt disproved El Dorado's existence, at least in the spot it was assumed to be located for over 200 years. Although no El Dorado was ever found, the myth still fascinates people today, and it remains a pop culture fixture around the globe. El Dorado is also still used as a metaphor not only for places where people seek to get rich quick but even as a mentality and mindset, much like the notion of the American Dream. El Dorado: The Search for the Fabled City of Gold chronicles the origins behind the myth and the history of the actual journeys that sought to discover the city. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about El Dorado like never before, in no time at all.

Herein are 28 myths and legends of El Dorado, the fabled City of Gold. They stretch from the Inca of Peru to the coming of the Columbus, to the Aztecs of Mexico and on north to the Native Americans of Southwest USA to the, then, “New” El Dorado – the 19th C. gold rushes of North America - the Forty-Niners strike at Sutter’s Mill, California and the Klondike rush of Alaska on the Yukon river. The 28 myths in this volume, not only cover an expansive geographic area, they also cover over 1,600 years of elapsed time. They are accompanied by 28 exquisite drop capitals and 31 pen and ink drawings which help give an already fascinating subject more vitality. In this volume you will find golden myths and legends like: The Happy Island, Zamna, The Eye Of The Sun, Votan, The People's Heart, Manco-Capac, The Powerful One, The Wrathy Chieftain, Quetzalcoatl, The Plumed Serpent, Cholula, The Sacred City, El Dorado, The Golden, Bimini, The Fountain Of Youth, Montezuma And The Paba, The Mountain Of Gold, The Land Of Gold, The New El Dorado, and many more. After an exhaustive study of the subject, Prof. A. F. Bandelier (August 6, 1840 – March 18, 1914 - the Hemenway Archaeological Expedition and later the American Museum of Natural History) whose research was used in this book, wrote in the early 1900’s “As to where these myths originated, or how old they are, I have nothing to suggest, since in presenting these simple variants, it is sufficient for my purpose to know that they exist. To me they lend a dignity to our country (the USA) by investing it with a misty past, replete with a mythology as rich and sublime as that of any of the races of antiquity. Not only will the study of them inspire patriotism and make us better acquainted with the inner lives of the Native Americans, but it will tend to create an interest in our sister republics which cannot fail to be of lasting practical benefit. We know much more of Europeans than we do of the peoples of this continent.” 10% of the profit from the sale of this book will be donated to charities. ============================ KEYWORDS/TAGS: Legends of El Dorado, Fabled, City of Gold, riches, myths and legends, Happy Island, Zamna, Eye of the Sun, Votan, Peoples Heart, Lord, Sacred Tunkel, Stars Ball, National Book, Manco-Capac, Powerful One, Bochica, Zipa, Song of Hiawatha, Michabo, Great White Hare, Birth of Corn, Wrathy Chieftain, Quetzalcoatl, Plumed Serpent, Cholula, Sacred City, Tulla, Hiding Nook, Snake, Serpent god, Departure, Golden Hearted, El Dorado the Golden, Bimini, Fountain of Youth, Montezuma, Paba, Child of the Sun, Gilded Man, White Sea, Manoas, Mountain of Gold, Amazon Queens, Seven Cities, Cibola, Kingdom of Quivera, Land of Gold, New El Dorado, USA, Leaving the Happy Island, Xavier Martinez, Each Stitch Must Be Counted, Weaver, Amadee Joullin, Ball Player, Who Art Thou, Who are you, Alexander Para, Old-Fashioned Almanac, Calendar Stone, Behold, First Word, Hieroglyph Maker, A Joullin, Tapir, Suspension Bridge, The People Shouted, Haille, Sun Worshippers, E.

This book is a fourth and much expanded edition of the first edition of "Oil Dorado?" published in March 2019. The Guyana Oil story changes by the day. At time of publication (in August 2022), two new oil wells were discovered in the last week alone. These books are always acorns that become oak trees through team enterprise. The original book was John Mair's idea and was published just five weeks after it was first proposed. It derived from an interview session John Mair (and Sally Gibson) conducted with Dr Mark Bynoe, then of the Guyana Department of Energy, in January 2019 by Skype from Georgetown to London. Thanks to him and to the then-Guyana high commissioner, the esteemed Hamley Case, for facilitating that event. The idea became reality through the authors who have written and delivered to a very tight deadline for no fee. Sometimes thrice and more. Each edition some new stars are added to the roster of writing talent - and the book becomes even more relevant. The future of Guyana and oil is important to all of us. This book is a deliberate potpourri of economics, politics, futurology and literature. It aims to reflect the rich cultural and intellectual heritage of Guyana and generate the long overdue debate on just how El Dorado may become Oil Dorado and accommodate "Black Gold" into its economy and psyche.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY CHICAGO TRIBUNE • A thrilling adventure of danger and deep-sea diving, historic mystery and suspense, by the author of Shadow Divers Finding and identifying a pirate ship is the hardest thing to do under the sea. But two men—John Chatterton and John Mattera—are willing to risk everything to find the Golden Fleece, the ship of the infamous pirate Joseph Bannister. At large during the Golden Age of Piracy in the seventeenth century, Bannister should have been immortalized in the lore of the sea—his exploits more notorious than Blackbeard’s, more daring than Kidd’s. But his story, and his ship, have been lost to time. If Chatterton and Mattera succeed, they will make history—it will be just the second time ever that a pirate ship has been discovered and positively identified. Soon, however, they realize that cutting-edge technology and a willingness to lose everything aren’t enough to track down Bannister’s ship. They must travel the globe in search of historic documents and accounts of the great pirate’s exploits, face down dangerous rivals, battle the tides of nations and governments and experts. But it’s only when they learn to think and act like pirates—like Bannister—that they become able to go where no pirate hunters have gone before. Fast-paced and filled with suspense, fascinating characters, history, and adventure, Pirate Hunters is an unputdownable story that goes deep to discover truths and souls long believed lost. Praise for Pirate Hunters “You won’t want to put [it] down.”—Los Angeles Times “An exceptional adventure . . . Highly recommended to readers who delight in adventure, suspense, and the thrill of discovering history at their fingertips.”—Library Journal (starred review) “A terrific read . . . The book gallops along at a blistering pace, shifting us deftly between the seventeenth century and the present day.”—Diver “Nonfiction with the trademarks of a novel: the plots and subplots, the tension and suspense . . . [Kurson has] found gold.”—The Dallas Morning News “Rollicking . . . a fascinating [story] about the world of pirates, piracy, and priceless treasures.”—The Boston Globe “[Kurson’s] narration is just as engrossing as the subject.”—The Christian Science Monitor “A wild ride [and an] extraordinary adventure . . . Kurson’s own enthusiasm, combined with his copious research and an eye for detail, makes for one of the most mind-blowing pirate stories of recent memory, one that even the staunchest landlubber will have a hard time putting down.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “The two contemporary pirate-ship seekers of Mr. Kurson’s narrative are as daring, intrepid, tough and talented as Blood and Sparrow—and Bannister. . . . As depicted by the author, they are real-life Hemingway heroes.”—The Wall Street Journal “[Kurson] takes his knowledge of the underwater world and applies it to the ‘Golden Age of Piracy’ . . . thrillingly detailing the highs and lows of chasing not just gold and silver but also history.”—Booklist “A great thriller full of tough guys and long odds . . . and: It’s all true.”—Lee Child
