Though the origins of the White City story are debatable, there have been several expeditions looking for the site or proof that such a wealthy and advanced civilization existed in Central America. On a positive note, I did learn a lot about lidar and have had several in depth conversations about the technology since then.Īpparently Preston inserts himself into a privately funded expedition in order to locate the legendary Ciudad Blanco which everyone believed to be Honduras. Whatever the reason, this one didn’t resonate with me which was a shame because I have read a different Preston book and enjoyed it. Searching for lost civilisations in the jungle? Yes, please? A potential curse involved? Even better! But no, Preston managed to make it more boring than it needed to be, or perhaps I was expecting something other than the book that I read. I kept picking it up and putting it down, though the subject matter is something I typically enjoy. Full disclosure, I struggled to read this one.
