In 1927, aviator Charles Lindbergh reported seeing a "white city" while flying over eastern Honduras.
Thedore Morde suggested in 1940 that there was a lost city in Hondouras called The White City of the Monkey God by the local aborigines.
Ted (born May 18, 1911-died June 26, 1954) was, Wikipedia, “an adventurer, explorer, diplomat, spy, journalist, and television news producer best known for his claim of discovering the Lost City of the Monkey God.”
Morde was a radio personality, and an early example of a Nationalist as well. He started off in New Bedford but later came on the air in San Francisco. He later became a journalist, and was General Manager of Reader’s Digest Near Eastern Edition and in 1947 covered the Arab side of the Palestine War. Prior to that he was a correspondent with the British Army in Northern Africa during World War II. Quite an adventurer.
In In 1940 he travelled to the jungles of Honduras, for four months he ventured into an area of malaria and aboriginals and "penetrating far into little known Mosquitia Territory” where he met natives who told him of the old times and of the White City of the Monkey God, using their tales of the past and observing their ceremonies and gathering information of a strange Monkey Human, eventually he came upon ruins surrounded by mountains where he said there was a walled white city and "Towering mountains" flanked the "ideal setting" where he discovered a walled city with a culture centered on a Monkey God that resembled Hanuman of India.
His ventures were published in a magazine series. Over time, some skeptics called him a fraud and he suffered a lot but continued explaining what he also learned of a Queen who was turned into a Great Bird.
He would not reveal the exact location as he was concerned of looters or scavenger hunters, then the War took him into service where he worked for the OSS as a spy and received a bronze star medal for actions in Ankara, Turkey 1943 as a Lieutenant, junior grade.
After the war was President of Spot News Productions. However, in 1954, Morde was found hanging from a shower stall and his death was ruled a suicide by the medical examiner. Though he was hounded for his claims of the White City of the Monkey God in Eastern Honduras, and this played a role in his suicide, others say that he was murdered. Oddly, years later the authorities put out a report that he died in a car accident soon after his expeditions to Honduras. Since this was impossible, many feel that was an early attempt to cover up for something.
Now we go forward to today. To the following release 20 January 2016, just five days ago from the U.K.
