3.0 out of 5 stars "Exploration Fawcett"- A good place to start., March 13, 2009
This review is from: Exploration Fawcett (Paperback)
"Exploration Fawcett" was written by Percy Fawcett's youngest son, Brian. When Fawcett, his oldest son, Jack and Jack's friend Raleigh disappeared in the Amazon basin in May 1925, Brian concluded that from the village of Cuiaba, the team headed northeast towards the Xingu and Kuluene Rivers. Some speculate that Brain wanted readers to believe this so that the true direction that the team took would not be uncovered. The real Fawcett that Brian conceals was heavily influenced by Helena Blavatski, a Russian aristocrat who founded the Theosophical Movement. Google that for more information.

In later Fawcett papers uncovered, it was determined that the team actually traveled northwest of Cuiaba towards the Tapajos and its tributary, the Juruena. The reason why the true direction taken was kept secret had to so with what some refer to as Fwacett's "Grand Scheme". The "Grand Scheme" involves groups called "The Watchers", the "Great White Brotherhood", the "Earth Guardians" the Budda and the "Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn." None of this information is mentioned in "Exploration Fawcett".

There are accounts of gold, underground hidden cities and UFOs. Fawcett is even believed by some to be currently alive and well living in a cave in the Roncador Mountains. Remember that Fawcett was born in 1867 and as of 2009 he would be 142 years old.

According to some accounts, the major objective of the Fawcett exploration into the Amazon Basin of the Mato Grosso in 1925 was to establish a colony in Amazonia for people wanting to escape materialism and develop mystic consciousness and so that Fawcett could deliver Jack to the Earth Guardians as an initiate and, after his training and transformation into another soul, to install him as the founder and leader of a mystic colony.

"Exploration Fawcett" is a jumping off point to search for deeper information and myth about Fawcett. So long as you keep that in mind, "Exploration Fawcett" is a good starting point to pursue further research about the Amazon and Fawcett. This is great fancy that has some basis in fact. It will be up to the reader to determine where the facts end and the friction begins. Once this grabs you, you will have a hard time shaking it off. Happy hunting.
