The Explorer Who Vanished Searching for the Lost City of Z

In 1925, a British explorer named Percy Fawcett travelled into the Brazilian Amazon with two companions. He hoped to discover the remnants of an ancient and highly advanced civilisation - a lost city he called 'Z'. Instead, Fawcett and his companions vanished in unknown circumstances; leaving behind them one of the most enduring mysteries of the 20th century.
