Who does not like a good adventure story? And who does not like Indiana Jones movies, right? And it would not be great to find one day Atlantis? Despite the fact that Atlantis may be one of the most famous "lost“Ancient cities, there are many other places as mysterious and stunning as Atlantis. In this article, I invite you to join me while exploring the five lost legendary ancient cities that have for centuries been leaked to experts.

Lost City Z

In April 1925, British explorer and archaeologist Percy Fawcett was introduced to the adventure in the Brazilian jungle, where he never came back. Fawcett went to find the lost city, which he named Z, located somewhere in Mato Grosso, Brazil. He never returned from the trip, and no one ever heard of him or his companions who had gone from Cuiabá to Alto Xing, the southeast tributary of the Amazon River.

The source on which he founded his dream of finding a legendary city in the Brazilian jungle, such as El Dorado, was the 512 manuscript located in the Rio de Janeiro National Library. Manuscript 512 was a documentary by a Portuguese explorer, written in 1753, describing the discovery of the city's walled area in the Mato Grosso area, reminiscent of its design of the ancient Greek city. It was not the first time that Fawcett embarked on an expedition to find the lost city of Z, but this expedition was his final. To date, like Atlantis, it remains a legendary lost city with deep secrets, and many experts say it exists only as a legend.

Shambala

More than just a lost city, it is supposed to be Shambhala by a mighty kingdom. Sometimes called Shangri-La, it has Shambala a prominent place in Hindu and Tibetan Buddhist traditions. It is said that the kingdom is located exactly in the same shape as the eight-leaf lotus flower, which is closed by a series of snow mountains. On Wednesday there is the palace of King Shambala, who drove the city of Kalapa.

Shambhala is often referred to in some texts as Shangri-La. Hindu texts, such as Vishnu Purana (4.24), feature the village of Shambhala as the birthplace of Kalki, the last incarnation of Viṣṇu, which marks the new Golden Age (Satya Yuga).

Aztlán

Legendary the home of one of the most important ancient civilizations of the continent, the Aztecs, has never been found. Aztlan is like American Atlantis, and some authors even dare say it might be Atlantis. Aztlan was home to the Aztecs, where they left to build their powerful empire with the capital city of today's Mexico City.

According to various theories, this lost city is located somewhere in North America, and some authors claim that Aztlán existed in modern Utah. Aztlán, whose name means "land in the north" or "place of whiteness," was never found. But Chronicles of Tlatelolco placed migrating the Aztecs from Aztlan to Tenochtitlan 24. May 1064, the first year of the Aztec Solar Calendar.

Lost City of El Dorado

After Atlantis, I think the legend of El Dorado is today one of the most famous. In fact, looking for a lost gold town was what motivated many of the conquistadors to travel thousands of miles across the inhospitable terrains of South America and were looking for a city that, according to records, was made entirely of gold. The myth of El Dorado was associated with a ruler who bathed each morning in gold and spent the night in the sacred lake of Guatavita, in which all the wealth was stored. In fact, the myth was the ceremony of the Colombian museum people, dating from ancient times.

In 1541, Francisco de Orellana was the first European conqueror to cross the Amazon River, beaten by the search for El Dorado. Later in 1594, Sir Walter Raleigh left his first search and failed two of his journeys. No one found a legendary city, and like Atlantis and Aztlan, many believe it is nothing but a myth.

Camelot

Camelot is the name of the fortress and kingdom of the legendary King Arthur, where he fought many battles that clearly marked his life. As with other famous cities and places, the exact location of Camelot remains a mystery, and many scholars say that Camelot is a completely fictitious piece of work and not real. Stories place the city somewhere in the UK and sometimes connect it with real cities, although its exact location is not revealed.

The city was first mentioned in French novels of the twelfth century. Arthur's court in Camelot was first mentioned in Chrétien's poem "Lancelot, the King in a Wheelchair", dating to the 12s, although it does not appear in all manuscripts. Camelot was eventually described as the fantastic capital of the Kingdom of Arthur and a symbol of the Arthurian world. Since Camelot remains a mystery, the truth about it, if it existed, remains a mystery.
