Could they find the lost civilization of the Amazon?
In the National Library of Brazil there is a text called Manuscript 512 that mentions the discovery of a long-lost ancient city with incredible monuments reminiscent of those of ancient Greece.
The idea that advanced ancient civilizations inhabited the Amazon rainforest is a myth that has been circulating among scientists and amateur archaeologists for more than a hundred years.
In recent years, we have come to understand that the Amazon has indeed been home to many different cultures.
And today we also know that the oldest pyramids on Earth were built in what is now Brazil.
The Mysterious 512 Manuscript Can Prove It All
However, some stories are even more complex, talking about lost civilizations. An example of this is manuscript 512, currently in the National Library of Brazil.
It mentions a group of intrepid explorers who ventured into the heart of the Amazon around 1753.
As the document revealed, they stumbled upon a magnificent stone city unlike anything they had ever seen.
According to the document, this ancient city was very different from the cities of the time.
In fact, and as the document describes, this mysterious city was home to structures eerily similar to ancient Greek architecture.
In addition, as the explorers described, the walls were decorated with a writing system they had never seen before.
The manuscript reveals many incredible details. He also tells about a large bag of gold coins that explorers found in the ancient city.
Could an ancient civilization have built the oldest pyramids in the world?
The coins are said to represent the silhouette of an archer wearing a crown.
In addition, the manuscript reproduces the ancient writing on the city walls.
According to many who have seen manuscript 512 closely, the script seems to bear an uncanny resemblance to the Greek and Phoenician alphabets.
But despite the manuscript’s incredible details, Brazilian archaeologists say its history is nothing more than a myth.
Brazilian archaeologists, in fact, consider it “the greatest myth of national archaeology.”
