Explorer: Legend Of The Monkey God

Are there still lost cities waiting in the jungle to be discovered? In the 21st century, can an explorer, fired only by the romantic lure of lost civilizations, still find one? The answer is yes. Steve Elkins has just done it. For twenty-two years , Steve has been searching in the dense jungles of Honduras' Mosquitia region for the legendary "White City" also known as, "The Lost City of the Monkey God". The film tells the amazing story of his decades-long search, his astonishing discovery and how archeologists are just now starting to unravel the mysteries of an ancient culture. To put this exciting adventure in historical context, Legend of the Monkey God weaves the stories of other romantic explorers who have set off in search of lost cities, including men like John Lloyd Stephens and Frederick Catherwood, who in the 19th century unveiled the lost cities of the Maya, and the tragic explorer and spy Theodore Morde, who 75 years ago claimed to have discovered an ancient city, but probably did not.
