If he was, then so was every explorer through the 19th and early 20th centuries. Fawcett didn't cover the same ground as Indiana. He wasn't looking for the same things, he didn't get into it with the Nazis (since he died in 1925) and so on. Why do you repeat some bullshit from Wikipedia (which also cites a comic book) as if it were legitimate history? <BR/><BR/>This guy did some serious work, and appears to have died in the process, and all today's nitwit generation can do is go, hey he was the inspiration for a dumbass movie. He was the inspiration for a comic book. Because you don't see anything in your lives more important than movies and comic books, you think that's all there is. <BR/><BR/>This guy was an important discoverer, but all that gets washed away in a tide of juvenile banality.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16952656340810478793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4622293537556367218.post-33512761249232594672008-05-13T19:41:00.000+02:002008-05-13T19:41:00.000+02:00How many times I hear about the Fawcett history?

The skeletons of Fawcett were found, but his family refused to receive them. They said to prefer to guard the myth of a lost hero of which a pile of bones.<BR/>The true history counted by the descendants of the natives who killed him was of what he would have if involved in a discussion with the indigenous boy (curumim) because of a stolen knife. He would have attacked the boy and his father killed him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
