Ruins of Lost City May Lurk Deep in Honduras Rain Forest

[Skywizard]

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 groundward as they pass over the rain forest, imaging the topography below the thick forest canopy.
What the archaeologists found — and what the new images reveal — are features that could be ancient ruins, including canals, roads, building foundations and terraced agricultural land. The University of Houston archaeologists who led the expedition will reveal their new images and discuss them today (May 15) at the American Geophysical Union Meeting of the Americas in Cancun.

Wow. This is absolutely fascinating.

You just don't realise all the stuff thats going on meanwhile we're worrying about day to day life. I never knew about this place 'Ciudad Blanca".

Thanks for posting.

America unearth had an episode using the same technology finding a similar site in Georgia(USA). You can watch it on the History Channel website. This is one of the few tv shows that I like and appreciate. This guy is on a quest to find all the answerrs to the lies given to us as "History". Excellent watch.

I believe these ancient cities will be uncovered and found like Bimini was in the 1960s.

Deep in the dense rain forests of Honduras, a glittering white city sits in ruins, waiting for discovery. The inhabitants there once ate off plates of gold; the metropolis was, perhaps, the birthplace of a god. A recent high-tech survey of the region by air reveals possible pyramids and other structures. Has the lost city of Ciudad Blanca been found? Or did it ever exist at all?

Probably not, according to archaeologists and anthropologists, who generally agree there was once something in the eastern Honduras rain forest — though likely not a city of mythical wealth and luxury. In fact, the legend of this ancient city may be a relatively new one, said John Hoopes, an archaeologist and specialist in southern Central American cultures at the University of Kansas.
"I think the media is contributing to the growth of a legend," Hoopes, who was not involved in the ruins' discovery, told LiveScience. "And it's one that has really yet to be shown to have any basis at all in the scientific reality."

An expedition to Honduras has emerged from the jungle with dramatic news of the discovery of a mysterious culture’s lost city, never before explored. The team was led to the remote, uninhabited region by long-standing rumors that it was the site of a storied “White City,” also referred to in legend as the “City of the Monkey God.”

Archaeologists surveyed and mapped extensive plazas, earthworks, mounds, and an earthen pyramid belonging to a culture that thrived a thousand years ago, and then vanished. The team, which returned from the site last Wednesday, also discovered a remarkable cache of stone sculptures that had lain untouched since the city was abandoned.

Thank you Poly.

A quote from the article.


Morde returned from Mosquitia with thousands of artifacts, claiming to have entered the City. According to Morde, the indigenous people there said it contained a giant, buried statue of a monkey god.

I have a great fondness for the Hindu Monkey god Hanuman. I do believe there is a connection to the howler monkey god of the Mayans.

I hope we get to see the artifacts. :happy:

Fascinating!

From the article: "To survey it, in 2012 they enlisted the help of the Center for Airborne Laser Mapping at the University of Houston. A Cessna Skymaster, carrying a million-dollar LiDAR scanner, flew over the valley, probing the jungle canopy with laser light. LiDAR - "Light Detection and Ranging" - is able to map the ground even through dense rain forest, delineating any archaeological features that might be present."

This report is in Spanish which will make a change for
our Spanish speakers...LOL But has got some good
pictures for the rest of us.

Amazing that there is still so much to discover. Well done with all the linkages people. x

To honor the lost city, a little announcement. (for Billy too;))

Thanks for posting this info. Wonderful. I am in agreement...so much incredible stuff in this amazing gift of a home. I have a wonderful friend who in a past life was a member of psychic female 'Green Jaguar' Clan......i sent her your link ;)

If you want to get into the Mayan aspects / Gods. I highly recommend this exceptional lecture by Maurice Cotterell - Secrets of the Supergods:

Also, as i have shared in many posts, Andrew Bartzis has said that the reason these culture seemingly vanish is that they are abducted on mass. The Pix are another powerful race who suffered a similar fate. They are traded for DNA (as human DNA is the code to all aspects of the universe like a skeleton key), put to use on Unity Consciousness Ships and other things not in alignment with freewill. Maybe a bit out there but just offering what i am aware of.

Maurice is wonderful though so excellent re their amazing abilities of these lost people.

Enjoy :)

Magnificent find. Thanks for the thread Poly Hedra :)

I was pondering myself about some of the mysterious disappearances of civilizations. I theorize some of them may have been given a free pass to a utopia world, because ETs knew they would be likely conquered or destroyed on earth eventually. It is possible with some cultures on earth that they reached a standard level of enlightenment with pretty much all their people, and due to earth being still kind of a primitive warzone ETs wanted to preserve their culture and transplanted them to a world somewhere else. Maybe even to start another civilization somewhere else in the galaxy. Maybe some groups like that being transplanted here assisted the start of our own civilization(s).

A lot is possible but I think that theory is a good bit interesting.

Discoveries like this are quite priceless IMO. I wonder if they have any UFO or ancient astronaut art :)


... in this amazing gift of a home.
Beautiful perspective there. I agree, the earth is a gift from the cosmos and we should all do our best to be good stewards of our planet. This perspective is lost amongst most humans it seems to me. Nature is a gift, it isn't there to be used/abused like so many think,... It takes our abuse patiently waiting for us to become responsible stewards of this beautiful blue planet.

I have always respected the 'hippy' types because of their typical value of nature. I was born in a hippy town. When I see people criticize hippys I wonder, "what have you brought to planet earth? Do you really think paying taxes is the best contribution to the planet someone can have?"

Thanks again for the thread Poly. :)

One thing's for sure....Lets hope this uncontaminated site from suppression is not censored like much of the past. There may be amazing artifacts that square peg the round hole of a reality crap sandwich we force fed but all are here to bust open haha...The more attention such sites gain the lower the chances for suppression....So awareness is the key ;)

I just offer that Andrew Bartzis's perspective from his Akashic history view. It is really challenging to contemplate. Tough to cross reference etc as much has been destroyed to be able to contemplate hence his checkmate purpose of being here now. But, we all know that the paradigm within which we are occupiers of is lest that the truth.
