CURSE OF THE LOST AMAZON GOLD/CURSE OF AKAKOR 2021 TV Series Season 1 - Episode 1 - Unexplored
The search for Akakor begins in an unexplored region of the Peruvian Amazon. The missing explorer investigation unearths strange rumours about the infamous river guide, Tatunca Nara. Satellite images lead the team towards an undiscovered ruin but it requires great effort to access such a remote location. In the 70s German foreign correspondent Karl Brugger met Tatunca who told him the history of Akakor, a supposed underground city located below the rain forest. Brugger was convinced and wrote the "Chronicle of Akakor" published in 1976. Brugger was later shot and killed by an unknown assailant in the streets of Rio de Janeiro in 1984. Three other explorers/adventurers maybe more have disappeared while searching for the lost city all have a strong connection with Tatunca Nara although nothing has ever been proven. John Reed, American 1980, Herbert Wanner, Switzerland 1983 (in 1984 a skull was found and identified as Wanner) and Swede, Christine Heuser 1987 all disappeared in mysterious circumstances.
