MYSTERY HUNT: Lost City of Hanuman Discovered in Huonduras

La Ciudad Blanca, Spanish for ‘The White City’ is a legendary settlement said to be located in the Mosquitia region of eastern Honduras in Central America. Researcher Charles Lindberg, during one of his flights over the jungles of Mosquitia in Hondurus, claimed caught a glimpse of what he thought was the ‘Lost City of the Monkey God‘ where, legend says that local people worshipped huge ‘Monkey Sculptures‘.

During a flight, Charles Lindberg over the jungles of Mosquitia in Hondurus, claimed caught a glimpse of what he thought was the 'Lost City of the Monkey God' where, the local people worshiped huge 'Monkey Sculptures'.

Later it was Theodore Morde - an American adventurer, who worked on the tip given by Lindberg and claimed that he had finally found the lost city in 1940. He claimed sacrifices were made by local Indians to a gigantic idol of an ape. However, he was killed by a car in London before he could announce its exact location. Morde had originally been looking for the White City, a hidden refuge of gods and gold first reported by Hernan Cortez.

Researchers from the University of Houston and the National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping flew over the Mosquitia region and revealed that there is evidence of a plaza dotted with ancient pyramids now reclaimed by the jungle on the east end of Hondurus. On the western end of Hondurus is the city of Copan - the site of the ancient Howler Monkey God statue.

But the Interesting thing here is that, it strongly resembles with one of the Hindu Gods - HANUMAN.

The Hindu Epic Ramayana's Kishkinda Kanda also descibes about Trident Of Peru, South America etc and Yuddha Kanda(War Episode) describes about Hanuman travelling to Paatala Loka (Central America and Brazil, which are on other side of India in globe) and meeting his son Makaradhwaja.

After killing the King of Paatala, Hanuman makes his son Matsyavallabha or Makaradhwaja as ruler of that kingdom and he must have started worshipping Hanuman as God since then. This could be one of the reasons why ancient Americans of central and south paint red color to all their gods statues (similar to Hanuman idols smeared in reddish orange).

The discovery of "Vedic Havan Kund" in Peru is also one more evidence of Vedic influence in this region.

In his journals, Morder describes how he traveled through swamps, up rivers, and over mountains before coming up in the city will walls. He writes about large, ruined buildings, and also about how Paya guides told him about a large staircase leading to the statue of a ‘Monkey God’. Morde had speculated the resemblance between that Monkey God and Hanuman, who again is considered to be related to the legend of Paul Bunyan, in terms of strength and daring characteristics. The temple was told to have “long, staired approach” with stone effigies of monkeys. “The heart of the temple was a high stone dais on which the statue of Monkey God rested. Before it was a place of sacrifice,” reads the words.

There are immense balustrades flanking to the steps of the dais, according to some. “At the beginning of one was the colossal image of a frog, at other a crocodile.” He also reveals that the guides told him that Chorotegas inhabited the city thousands of years ago.

Morde is also seen relating a story where a monkey stole three women and had them bred his children, resulting in half-monkey, half-human children. He claims, “The native name for the monkey is Urus, which translates literally as “sons of the hairy men”. Their fathers, or forefathers, are the Ulaks, half man and half spirit, who lived on the ground, walked upright and had the appearance of great hairy ape men.”

Today, those artifacts are now parts of the Heye Foundation Museum of the American Indian in New York City. Those artifacts include metal razors, stone blades, flute, stone sanctuary, utensils, gold, silver, platinum, and oil.

Morde tried to return back to the city, but couldn’t. In 1954, he killed himself. The reasons are yet to be known. But what is known is that the City of the Monkey God, Hanuman exists somewhere in the world.
