The legendary ‘White City’ where a god is rumored to have fathered half-human, half-monkey children in generations past could have been discovered in the jungles of Honduras. Archaeologists have begun excavations at a mysterious site on Honduras’ Caribbean coast deep inside the jungle where for centuries conquerors and explorers have searched for treasures and the legend of the “City of the Monkey God.” The Telegraph reports: Officials said excavation that began Wednesday have so far unearthed about five dozen stone and ceramic fragments and other artefacts. Also known as the “City of the Monkey God,” the site is located in Honduras’ jungle-covered Mosquito coastal region. The dig is being carried out by archaeologists from Honduras’ Institute of Anthropology and Colorado State University. Institute Director Virgilio Paredes said the site did not appear to be Mayan, the culture that dominated other sites in the region. “It is a new culture, or a different culture,” Paredes said. He said that jars and bowls had been discovered that bore decorations that appeared to represent humans, jaguars, buzzards, lizards and birds. The pieces appear to date to between 1,000 and 1,500AD, Paredes said. #Archaeology.
