This will be my final blog, and it will be summing up the last of how they found the city of gold. For the past few weeks they have been traveling to were they think this city is hidden. Ive been trying to keep up with the news on this. The jungle is so dense that it will take researchers for a few more weeks. Its also very very hard to get ahold of these travelers, because they are so far out in the middle of no where. The parts where they are traveling only so few people have gone to. The rest of this article will be from were i left off from last weeks blog. "The original uses of the technology were to provide intelligence after earthquakes, military spying and for river erosion detection.Flying above the intended target area, LiDAR operates by sending out 100,000 short laser pulses to the ground each second.

The University of Houston and the NCALM team blanketed the Mosquitia rainforest with as many as 25-50 laser pulses every square metre that totaled up as more than four billion shots during the entire project.

Like a high-tech version of sonar, the light beams hit the ground and return to the aircraft and the time taken allows researchers to create 3D digital map of the surrounding topology.

Able to differentiate between differences in height of less than four inches, the University of Houston has worked with the NCALM to develop their LiDAR systems.Ciudad Blanca has played a central role in Central American mythology.Text's cite it as the birthplace of the Aztec god Quetzalcoatl and previous reported sightings over the years have described golden idols and elaborately carved white stones, leading to the lost city's name.

However, no confirmation of the existence of the city has ever been provided.If confirmed, the discovery of Ciudad Blanca would be comparable to the popularization of forgotten sites such as Machu Picchu, which lay ruined for hundreds of years until reintroduced to western eyes in 1911 by American historian Hiram Bingham."

And that includes the last of my blogs, I hope you enjoyed all of them. Thank you for following them along.
