00:00As-salamu alaykum friends, 29th of May 1925,

00:05a British explorer named Percy Fawcett goes in search of a city in the Amazon rainforest

00:11which is said to be made of gold.

00:15This dangerous rainforest spread over 70 lakh square kilometers is the largest rainforest in the world.

00:22That day, Percy Fawcett leaves his camp but never returns.

00:28What would be the reason for his disappearance?

00:31This is the biggest mystery to date.

00:33Apart from this mystery, there are many other mysteries about which we will talk in today's video.

00:38So let's start the video.

00:44This rainforest spread over 70 lakh square kilometers is the largest rainforest in the world.

00:49Just as humans could not explore a large part of the ocean,

00:53in the same way, a large part of this rainforest is still far from the reach of humans.

00:58New species are explored on a daily basis in this rainforest,

01:03but only 10% of the plants, animals and microbes that still live here have been identified.

01:10There are 400 billion trees in the Amazon rainforest,

01:14which is why this forest is also called the lungs of the earth.

01:18Because 20% of the oxygen in the world is released by this forest.

01:24According to an estimate, there are about 200,000 people living in the Amazon rainforest,

01:30who have no connection to the outside world.

01:33There are many mysteries of this Amazon rainforest,

01:36some of which have been solved, but there are still some mysteries that are beyond science.

01:43First of all, let's talk about the city of gold,

01:47because it is the biggest mystery of the Amazon rainforest so far,

01:51which is called El Dorado.

01:53It is said that there used to be a city here that was made up of gold,

01:59and the king there bathed daily in the powder of that gold and spilled that gold in the Amazon river.

02:06In the 16th century, when the Europeans came up with a plan to occupy the Amazon forest,

02:11they faced the local people of the Amazon, who had settled their cities there.

02:17Those Europeans occupied those cities and found out about El Dorado at the end of the 16th century.

02:24When they found out about El Dorado that there is a city of gold,

02:29those Europeans started looking for El Dorado.

02:33After exploring the entire Amazon forest, they did find small tribes and gold there,

02:39but El Dorado was not found.

02:41This search continued for 200 years, but when El Dorado was not found,

02:46El Dorado was declared a myth.

02:49After this, in the 19th century, a British explorer, Percy Fawcett,

02:53decided to search for El Dorado again.

02:57He did a total of 8 expeditions in the Amazon forest, but still El Dorado was not found.

03:04On 29 May 1925, when he went for exploring, he never returned.

03:11He was searched for many months, but neither Percy Fawcett nor his dead body was found.

03:18According to the scientific community, this place is not suitable for humans to live.

03:23But as exploration progressed with technology, such evidence began to be found,

03:28which proves that people had settled entire cities there.

03:33There are people in the Amazon forest who have not even seen the outside world,

03:38and even anthropologists do not know how these people live in the jungle.

03:45One of them is known as the Pripkura tribe, and thousands of people used to live in this tribe,

03:51but now only 15-20 people are alive.

03:54People learned about this tribe only after 1998,

03:59when they first came into contact with the outside world.

04:03When anthropologists talked to them, they found out that their tribe used to be very strong before.

04:10But some occupying mafias killed almost everyone in their tribe for mining,

04:16and now only a few people were left alive.

04:19It is not known how many such tribes will live in this Amazon forest,

04:23and no one has ever known where they came from and how they came.

04:28Historians have not known for centuries where these people came from.

04:33But in 2017, it was found that some paintings were made on the mountain of Colombia.

04:39When that painting was excavated 13 km below to understand,

04:43it was found that there are many paintings here, which are 12,000 years old,

04:48when the last of the Ice Age was going on.

04:50Because in those paintings, some such animal paintings were also found,

04:54which were found only in the Ice Age.

04:56So that's all for today's video.

04:58Do tell us in the comment section how you liked the video.

05:01We will meet again with a new video.

05:03Till then take care of yourself.

05:05Allah Hafiz.
