The results of our research

(The first forty records [01-40])

 

Our very first contact/record, which was dated December 1999 arrived from USA, almost ten months after our website's first registration into the Internet search engines. Under the circumstances, it must be taken into consideration that during that period most of the search engines had plenty of difficulties in tracking registered websites that were not complied with their rules so our websites were not shown in the net during the first period of registration, a period between March and December 1999. That's why we did not have an immediate respond from our website's readers as our sites "The great Unknown, The Great Explorers" and "The Great Web of Percy Harrison Fawcett" could not easily be tracked.

As the time went by, the net search engine's system was improved and our first contact with our readers began early in March 2000, the date that our records indication begins below and the names of these people interested in Colonel Fawcett's case are mentioned below with a description of their first e-mail, their country, their occupation and the date of their first contact.

Interests of this contact in brief:

Dear Sir or Madam,

My name is Daniel T. Melone (Dan).  I live in the US in Chicago IL. 

First let me tell you a little about my self.  I am a 26 year old archaeologist and my specialty is Egyptology.  However I have a major interest in the whereabouts of P.H. Fawcett and his lost city. My obsession with him began in my sophomore year in high school and I have been doing research on and off since then.  I have always planned on leading an expedition into the jungle to look for he and his city.

I am currently working at the Field Museum and will be leaving on a 2-month expedition to
Africa (Kenya) Jan 7th.  So if you could e-mail me before I leave with the pass. I would greatly appreciate it. The research that I have obtained over the years has become numerous with both inquiries to the Royal Geographical Society and the British Museum.  I also have one connection in my museum.  I feel that if we collaborate our information we could come up with a better solution.  I have made up a list with some names that I felt were important to the case. First there are many names to the lost city I will list them in order
1.  The Lost Mines of Muribeca
 

2.  Matalir

3 Araracauga

4.  Atlantis (mind you that this is what Fawcett thought he might find).

5.  City Z (The name Fawcett used for his city).

He stated that they were looking for the lost city that Bandeira in 1753 was looking for.  Described as a city with low stone buildings with many streets set at right angles to one another, but there were also some big buildings and a great temple, in which was a large disc cut out of rock crystal.  A river running through the forest beside the city fell over a big fall whose roar could be heard for miles, and below the fall the river seemed to widen out into a great lake emptying itself into it.

His route started out at Dead Horse Camp where his horse died in 1921, 11 degrees 43` south and 54 degrees 35` west, roughly northeast to the Xingu.  He followed the forest to a point midway between that river and the Araguaya, and then followed the watershed north to 9 degrees or 10 degrees south latitude.  He thought that the city lay at 11 degrees 30` south and 42degrees 30` west.

In recent years however expeditions into the Bolivian plains have found a mysterious pyramid at Tiwanaku and giant blocks of stone weighing tons. Also in July of this year an expedition sponsored by Mr. A Bayer was going into the Xingu area to search for the trail of Fawcett.  The team was headed by James Lynch and Rene Delmotte and they were quickly stopped and threatened with death should they proceed.  About 60 thousand dollars of their equipment was stolen, and those involved were detained physically by Indians.

I must close this letter the first of many I hope.  I hope that this is some help, I do have some maps and more info however right Now I am pressed for time.  I hope you allow me to access your info with the pass.  Thank you very much for your time.

Hello, 

I am a college student in New York, and my major is history education. I am currently working on a research paper concerning Meso-American anomalies, and I have grown interested in learning about Colonel Percy Fawcett's expeditions.

What I am really looking for, is first hand-accounts of the Mato-Grosso region, given by Fawcett himself. If you have access to ANY of his writings or journals first hand, I would be more than thankful if you could please let me know.

Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,

Robert Fleming

PS: I am writing a college report which concerns his disappearance. If I had ay information, I would be more than glad to share it with you. All I really need is a web site that offers access to his writings or information on where I can find a book of his writings and journals.

Interests of this contact in brief:

I find this case about Fawcett very fascinating. It is the perfect mystery. A man who disappears in the Brazilian jungle during the search of a lost civilization. Very exciting and strange. What I know about Fawcett is this:

He was born in Devon, UK, in 1867. After a successful career in the army (royal artillery), he started to explore the jungles of Ceylon and South America. Fawcett first became aware of the "lost civilization" through the writer Sir H. Rider Haggard, who gave him a black statue with mysterious writings on it. He believed the statue came from Atlantis and in 1925, he started his last expedition with his son Jack and a friend of his, Raleigh Rimell. The started out in Cuiabα, and from there, headed north over Sierra Azul.
For what I know, different theories about Fawcett exists. Some people think he died close to the upper Xingu river, others believe it was the Tapajos river. Too bad that these two river are so far from each other. Another theory is that Fawcett headed against a place called Rio Koloseu where he was killed by the hostile Kalapalo tribe. I also know that the Colonel's son Brian once received a letter from a German who claimed that Fawcett was still alive and living in the cities of Matalir and Araracauga in the Roncador section of Mato Grosso.

That's it. I hope that this is enough to get me a pass, cause 200 pages about Fawcett sounds to good to be true.

My name is Julian Brantley.  I am from the USA.  

I have been interested in Fawcett's last expedition since I first read of him in relation to H. Rider Haggard.  The black basalt idol that Haggard gave to Fawcett is of particular interest.  It was a figure with a plaque across the chest and had inscriptions on it and around the ankles of the figure.  There were 24 characters of an unknown language, and unfortunately, I have not found any reproductions of these markings.  Apparently this idol was found in Brazil. Fawcett had the idol with him on the expedition as well as a map marking an unnamed city in the Mato Grasso area.  (City X)  I would love to further my research on his expedition with your help. I don't know how I can help you really, I was just curious to see what you had learned and if you had any images of the basalt idol he took with him on his last expedition. I would still appreciate any help you could give me on this.

Thank you and I hope you will contact me soon. Julian

P.S. - In doing research on Atlantis I came across a picture of an ancient city overgrown by the jungle in Peru.  It was taken by helicopter at 13' S by 71' 30" W.  It is unreachable by land and is said to be guarded by a savage Indian race.  It sounded very much like the city Fawcett was searching for, although it is in the wrong location.

Good Night,

My name's Fausto Andra and I live in Brazil. 

I'm very interested in this relevant subject for two reasons: First, I’m a Brazilian guy and second I guess there's more than beautiful landscapes inner country. Ancient mysteries lie beyond Brazilian forests. I’ve been reading a book that tells of a journalist called Karl Brόgger who had heard of a tail from an anonymous Brazilian air force flightier. This tail introduced to Brόgger an ancient legend of a lost city in Brazilian territory, which is called AKAKOR, the same city that Fawcett was searching for. Brόgger thought that an amazing story. Then he wrote a book titled "The Akakor Chronicle" (this book was not published in Brazil, only in USA and Germany, I don't Know why...).  Maybe because of this, was murdered in Rio de Janeiro. The press sad that it was a robber. But it sounds strange...

I’ve been trying to find this book, but it's hard to do it. If you own that, please try to send me an issue. By the way, I’d like very much to share with you the Colonel Fawcett's expedition tail. I hope my info is somehow worthful for you.

Waiting feedback,

Fausto Andra

Interests of this contact in brief:

My full name: Otto Schramm.

My country: Brasil

The last contact between Fawcett and his wife was through a letter dated 25th may 1925 in which he gave the coordinates of the place where he was: 54o 35’west, 11o south, at least 213 Km west of the place where the Arraias and Xingu rivers meet. I am an Army Staff Infantry Colonel retired from the active duty since October 98. My sincere opinion, Mr. Laleos, is that the Legend of Fawcett’s disappearance must not be disturbed, but tributes to his sacrifice, in the shape of a book, a movie, a video, etc should be encouraged. I think it would be rather interesting to follow and document his trail and reach the places where he - led by his dreams - had been to, in his search for the “Z” city. Due to my job and my own will I have traveled a lot through Brazil, and I am always amazed at its vastness and its nature, and it baffles me the fact that there were people traveling around in such remote times with no comfort at all, facing total wilderness, in search of uncertain places, or just for the sake of researching, cataloguing plants and animals, etc. I guess it required a spirit and energy very unfamiliar to our day and age. That is exactly what I admire in Fawcett. I am interested in this case since I was a kid, and I've been thinking about making my own expedition following Fawcett's trail and I am looking forward to meet people with the same interest to exchange information.

Cordially,  

Otto Schramm

Why am I interested in this case? Because it was one of the most amazing story I ever read. Fawcett fired my imagination already 15 years ago. I believe that thanks to your site I will improve my knowledge about this case.

Everything what I know about Fawcett comes from his diary prepared to print by his son, Brian (English title: "Lost Trials, Lost Cities" or "Exploration Fawcett"). The book was published in Poland in 1963 and I never heard about Polish re-edition. Maybe that's why this story is completely unknown here.

And... sorry, but I don't know what to write about Fawcett. Should I retranslate and rewrite all his diary...?

NAME:  Jo Brewer 

COUNTRY: USA, Connecticut.

I have been fascinated with the history of Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett.  They used to call him "Fawcett the Dreamer" and " Fawcett the Mystic."  I know for a sure fact that he not only was in search of the lost city he named "Z", but he was also in search of the Lost Mines of Muribeca, among others.  

He also had in his possession an image about ten inches high, carved out of black basalt.  There were characters inscribed on the chest and ankle of the figure which was given to him by man by the name of Sir H. Rider Haggard, who obtained it from somewhere in Brazil and whom Fawcett sincerely believes comes from one of the lost cities.  What is magnificent about this figurine is that anyone who holds it in its hands gets a jolt of an electric current that they are forced to actually put it down.

I also know that in 1743 Francisco Raposo went in search of the Lost Mines of Muribeca.  After years of searching they actually found it.  When they entered the lost city there was ruin everywhere.  But one thing that really frightened Raposo and his troops was that of a huge column of black stone and upon it was the shape of a man in perfect preservation, with one hand on his hip and the other pointing towards the north.  After getting out of there Raposo sent a scouting party to explore farther down the river.  After the traversed lagoons and backwaters for like 9 days they caught a glimpse of a canoe paddled by 2 white people with long black hair and dressed in some sort of clothing. They decided to fire a shot to attract attention but the canoe made off and vanished from view.

I would appreciate it so much if I was to get that pass.  It would mean sooooo much to me.  Thanks a whole lot!!

Cartographer-Surveyor

Interests of this contact in brief:

Hello! My name is Mark Kingsley, 

I live in Ramona, California, USA - Ramona is a suburb of San Diego. My career has been in cartography, more precisely in photogrammetry, which is the science of making reliable measurements from photographs. The most common application of photogrammetry is extracting coordinate information - latitude, longitude and elevation - from aerial photographs and space images to create maps. My employer, LH Systems, is a leading provider of equipment and software for the photogrammetric community throughout the world. My present role at LHS is writing training materials to help our customers learn how to best operate our equipment and produce cartographic products with it.

My 35-year career in mapping has taken me to many parts of this fascinating world, including much of Latin America. Along the way, I've run into a number of intriguing mysteries, Fawcett's city in the Brazilian jungle being one of them. I have set out to write a series of novels in which my own solutions to these mysteries is proposed. Having worked with hard bitten surveyors most of my career, I have learned that while they might exaggerate the details from time to time, they tend to be a pretty truthful lot about what they have seen out there in the boondocks. 

Having completed the survey of the Bolivia/Brazil border and several subsequent forays into the jungles of the Matto Groso, Fawcett was certainly no greenhorn. I choose to believe that he really saw what he said he saw, and that some day it will be found again and revealed to the world.

Does this qualify me for a Pass?

Mark

I find little imaginative this "expedition" that the group drifts in the immediate future.

I am a lawyer, and research the Fawcett's mystery there more than 25 years ago. In this period, I visit the wilds were Mr. Fawcett disappeared in several opportunities. I have full materials about this subject: books, newspapers clippings, photos... In several occasions, I could interview some people involved in this case for some years, recently, I had opportunity in the trips, to verify "in loco" the supposed Mr. Fawcett's bones, that one finds deposited in the Sao Paulo University (Universidade de São Paulo). These bones are found at this time by one of the largest Brazilian wild man:

Hello,

My name is Rick Raymond, I grew up in Babylon N.Y. There was a woman who lived in my neighborhood who's husband was an explorer. We knew her as Mrs. Diet, he husband was the man who first searched for Col. Fawcett after his disappearance. I am actually looking for more information on him. She had many artifacts in her home that she would regularly let us see. Since we were young children then we just thought she was eccentric, but know I know she was telling the truth. Again, my name is Rick Raymond, I live in Boynton beach Florida. I hope to hear from you soon. Rick Raymond

PS: I spoke with my older brother last night and he seems to remember that Mr. Dyott came to stay with her near the end of our time in that area for a short while.

Our respond to this contact: An immediate answer-mail was sent to Mr. Raymond on October 23, 2000 responding to his so important information regarding that woman and her relationship with the explorer. After researching the case, we were positive that the woman was Mrs. Dyott and the explorer was Commander George M. Dyott, a very distinguished Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and the leader of the so-called 'relief expedition' to trace Colonel Fawcett who was lost in the wilds of Brazil in 1925. We appreciated his contact with us and his help to find the living relatives of Commander George M. Dyott today. His record is kept by us separately and confidentially.

My name is Guilherme Coutinho Nunes da Silva.      Country: Brazil

I thing that the mystery of Mr. Fawcett is on the saw of Roncador, Mato Grosso, Brazil. 

Udo Oscar Luckner (monk and hierophant of "Monastério Teúrgico do Roncador") and his wife Tereza de Jesus Ferreira have, in my opinion, the key of this mystery. First of all I want to tell you that I don't speak English well. I have to use the dictionary all the time.

Udo Oscar is died and the activities of the Monastério are paralysed.  I have some contact with his wife only as a friend. They talk about an intraterrene civilization, of which door of entrance is localized on the saw of Roncador, Mato Grosso, Brasil.  Colonel Fawcett find this door and enter. I'm Brazilian too. I live in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais. I can give you her telephone later.

Thank you,

Guilherme

Hi,

I was in the process of carrying out some further research on the late, great Lt.-Col Fawcett and I came across your web Site. There was recently a TV Documentary here in the UK, sometime last year, but it was very disappointing. A few people went over to try and find out the truth and to see if they could find "his bones" and I was hoping to discover something new, but alas, as I say, it was very poor.

I have perhaps a unique association with Percy Fawcett, through my stepfather, who was born in Riberalter, in Bolivia. His father was, believe it or not, responsible for the building of the town of
Riberalter, which was the center of his Rubber Empire. As a small boy, I was brought up on stories from the Beni and I used to love to look at my step father's old photograph albums, full of photographs of Riberalta and life on the Rubber Plantation.

Percy Fawcett, as you know, started many of his expeditions from Riberalta and there is a reference in his book, to the Swiss German (my step father's family). If you want to check this information out, my step father's name is Emilio Gschwind-Zabala, the eldest son of Eduado Gschwind, who built Riberalta, on the back of his Rubber Empire. He married the daughter of the famous Zabala family and the dynasty of the Gschwind-Zabala's was born. He left Switzerland during the First World War and when Fawcett visited Riberalta, he was just starting his Rubber Plantation. He outlived all the other Europeans and only returned to Switzerland in the 1960's.

My stepfather's brother, (my uncle) Dr Walter Gschwind - Zabala was Minister of Justice for Bolivia for 17 years! He still lives there, although not in the family home in Riberalta which is now in a state of decay.

I travelled through the region extensively in the late 1970's and plan to write a book on this extraordinary story. My step father is still alive, although we have lost touch and as far as I know, his mother is still alive, now in her late 90's and I am trying to track them down because my step father always told me that some of the family albums contain photographs of Percy Fawcett, since he stayed in their home when he was in Riberalter.

I look forward to hearing from you and hope you give me a pass, I am very interested!

Best Wishes

I was reading about Colonel Fawcett's research in different books. The latest was about AGHARTI, the underground civilization. Also I saw some TV documentaries about his expeditions and the mystery linked to his disappearance. As far as I understand, Fawcett wanted to find the remains of ancient cities of Atlantis in the amazonas, and was convinced to find them! I think. that there are several possibilities for his disappearance:

1. Either he found an ancient civilization living still in a peaceful way hidden from the modern world, and he felt so attracted by them, that he decided to stay. Probably also because he saw the risk, his communication to our world   could mean again a great danger for the secrecy of such a hidden place (indications of such places are given also in TATUNCA NARAS report of the underground civilization of AGAKOR, at least 10 000 years old, in the east slopes of the Andes in the Amazon region

2. Or other interests of the "Amazon connections" where intriguing against him. It would be maybe against some of their interests, if such information leak out, which they want to keep for themselves. The author of the book on TATUNKA NARA and the civilization of AGAKOR was also shot openly on the streets of Rio de Janeiro, and the case was to my knowledge never solved, if not some interests where there, to stop in this way further publications on the matter of AGAKOR

3. Or maybe he was even kept forcefully there by some of those tribes, not wanting their locations or existence to be known. TATUNKA NARA reported, that there are a number of different tribes living in the remote parts of the jungle, related still in the Amazon to some
ancient ruins or civilizations. He spoke for example also of a warrior lady tribe or "AMAZONS", which live also hidden at the border between brazil and Venezuela, having still their own kingdom...........

But probably all this information is well known to you. Yet, I would be glad to receive access to the pages, to read more on the expedition of Colonel Fawcett in the Amazon. This area of the Amazon forest is one of my favorite personal interests, and I feel deeply related to cultures possibly still living there. At least my intuition strongly tells me, that there is a mystery until now unsolved in this region.  Particularly the remains of ancient cities of Atlantis in the Amazon touches me, as if I’m sure, that there is authenticity in it............ with best wishes to lift the curtain finally on the mystery of Colonel Fawcett's disappearance in the Amazon region I remain with warm greetings to all those organizing these pages

Researching case relating to objects given by both Dyott and Fawcett to the Pitt Rivers Museum.
They both gave objects in the 1920s to the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford. I am a student at the Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford, researching Brazilian objects for a guidebook to coincide with the 500th anniversary of Brazil. On display is a string of freshwater mussel shells given to the museum by Fawcett's family in 1931.
Other objects were donated by George M Dyott in 1929 from his 1928 expedition to find Fawcett and include Bororo feather ornaments. Any additional information about either of these two would be useful for the project, as we might consider the possibility of adding a web address to the guide for those who might be interested.

Unfortunately I have no contact details for Fawcett' s living relatives.

Have a fascination for the Amazon which led me to the history of explorers in that area. Just got a computer; connected to the web and have only found minimal info on Colonel Fawcett. What info do you need?

Born 1867 in Devon, England. Served a number of years with the Royal Artillery where he developed his skills of surveying. I know he made several expeditions to South America between 1906 and 1924, and, after the Verde trip, spent 3 years with the Boundary Commission charting the region. Disappeared in 1925 looking for ancient city he called 'Z', with son Jack and his friend. 'You need have no fear of failure' was the last message  he sent his wife on 25th May.

Numerous people have tried to retrace his steps over the last 80 odd years. The latest being some dickhead in 1998 who claims to have found Fawcetts' bones.
