Still Waters Posted May 16, 2013 #1 Share Posted May 16, 2013 New images of a possible lost city hidden by Honduran rain forests show what might be the building foundations and mounds of Ciudad Blanca, a never-confirmed legendary metropolis. Archaeologists and filmmakers Steven Elkins and Bill Benenson announced last year that they had discovered possible ruins in Honduras' Mosquitia region using lidar, or light detection and ranging. Essentially, slow-flying planes send constant laser pulses toward the ground as they pass over the rain forest, imaging the topography below the thick forest canopy. http://www.foxnews.c...as-rain-forest/ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikko-kun Posted May 17, 2013 #7 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Poor country + gold-filled city = you wont probably find many golden objects there after a while. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kind of wish that they stay lost. Why? Archaeologists need something to do. They may find something of great importance about the era the city was populated.

freetoroam Posted May 17, 2013 #10 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Why is there always a lost city full of gold? Sort of like the Pyramids, until the looters come along, and looters can mean anyone including the archaeologists . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
