Fabled lost city found in Honduras

An expedition team of scientists and archaeologists has unearthed the ruins of an ancient civilization in a part of the Honduran jungle that's being described as the most undisturbed tract of rainforest in Central America.
After centuries of lore that promulgated the idea of a lost El Dorado teeming with untold riches deep within the Honduran rainforest, a team of archaeologists, engineers and anthropologists claims to have discovered the fabled location of the City of the Monkey God or The White City, where people worshipped a monkey god and from which visitors never returned.
First reported by National Geographic, which sent a photographer and writer to follow the scientists on their jungle trek, the expedition is being hailed as both a cultural and ecological milestone.
For lead archaeologist Christopher Fisher of Colorado State University, it was his interaction with an angry spider monkey that helped him realize the importance of his team’s discovery.
