Which I did download to see what Americans have thought of what it looks like. To be completely honest the game sucked. Not worth your money but still the point is that, we as people are great wanderers. So when a whole city is lost, its going to create a sture among people. Even if its been a few hundred years, that just adds to the excitement. There are so many mysteries of the world like the lost Inca gold, Eldorado, the lost city of Atlantis, the crystal skulls and the fountain of youth. In the beginning I was having a hard time on if I should write about the lost city of Atlantic or gold. There is way more myth on the city of gold, so that was my better option. I had a hard time deciding what I was going to pin point about this article, I know for sure what my next two are going to be about but this one was sticky. So I'm going give you an incident that happened near where Eldorado is so- possibly located. New York Times says, "The thunderous descent of the military helicopter at the village of Dorita-teri drove Yanomami Indian women and children screaming into the surrounding plantain gardens. Out in the jungle, panic also reigned, as macaws and parrots, deer and tapirs scrambled to escape the machine. When the dust cleared, twenty Yanomami warriors were standing in a semicircle, yelling at seven white men and one white woman who had descended from the helicopter with television cameras and sound equipment. Most of the warriors held enormous bows and arrows. The headman wived all ax.
The tumultuous landing in Dorita-teri, on May 17, 1991, created an impressive spectacle for the Venezuelan television crew, which was doing a special on "the purest human groups in existence." The community was located in the little-explored Siapa Highlands on the Brazil-Venezuela border, the Amazon's last frontier. These remote mountains also concealed the last intact cluster of aboriginal villages in the world—whose inhabitants were considered living relics of prehistoric culture. The seminomadic Yanomami spent their time hunting and trekking in much the same way humanity had done for countless generations. The anthropologist directing the expedition called them "our contemporary ancestors."
