Of A Button.

30

That He Came Across The Ruins
Of A Lost City,

In The Scorching Sands.

He Had Stumbled Upon

Never Heard From Again.
42
00:01:51,965 --> 00:01:56,103

Launching A Bold New Expedition,

Where He Marked The Ruins.

But There Is Physical Evidence
Of Farini's Journey.
178

Very Fine Photographs.

See The Two Of Them There.

More Than Anything Else,
A Visual Record.

And It's Unimpeachable.
183
00:08:09,655 --> 00:08:11,172

And Verify It.

Claimed To See.

If The Lost City Is Real

Or Whether Farini's Theatrical
Nature Duped The World.

To Track Farini

Because We Actually See
What He Saw.
212
00:09:13,103 --> 00:09:16,068
And This Is Where It All Starts,
Right Here.
213

Using Farini's Photos
And Writings As A Guide,
214

I Can Literally Walk
In His Footsteps.
215
00:09:21,482 --> 00:09:24,379
By Doing That, I Can See
Where He Really Went
216
00:09:24,379 --> 00:09:27,896
And Hopefully Figure Out If He
Actually Made A Discovery.

So, Are You Gonna Show Me
The Way To The Lost City?
348
00:15:08,620 --> 00:15:09,793
Well, At Least
I'm Gonna Try.
349
00:15:09,793 --> 00:15:11,034
Yes, All Right, Good.
You Ready?
350
00:15:11,034 --> 00:15:12,448
Yeah, I'm Ready.Let's Do It. Come On.
351
00:15:12,448 --> 00:15:13,413
Okay.
352
00:15:15,551 --> 00:15:17,758
Adam Has Criss-Crossed
The Kalahari
353
00:15:17,758 --> 00:15:20,655
And Is A Seasoned Expert
On Farini's Expedition.
354
00:15:20,655 --> 00:15:23,137
He's Even Authored A Book
On The Subject.
355
00:15:23,137 --> 00:15:25,758
Adam, What Drew You
To The Farini Story,
356
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:27,172
The Lost-City Legend?
357
00:15:27,172 --> 00:15:29,517
Well, It Started
When I Was Very Young.
358
00:15:29,517 --> 00:15:32,482
I Mean, Like All Boys, I Loved
The Stories Of Tarzan
359
00:15:32,482 --> 00:15:35,482
And King Solomon's Mines And All
Those Great Stories.
360
00:15:35,482 --> 00:15:37,413
And Then, As I Got Older,
I Started Realizing
361
00:15:37,413 --> 00:15:39,068
That Some Of These Stories
Were Real.
362
00:15:39,068 --> 00:15:42,206
And Then I Read A Book
By A South African Author --
363
00:15:42,206 --> 00:15:43,862
Famous South African
Author --
364
00:15:43,862 --> 00:15:45,689
Who Went On This
Harebrained Scheme
365
00:15:45,689 --> 00:15:47,862
Into The Desert To Look
For This Lost City.
366
00:15:47,862 --> 00:15:49,689
And That Was The First Time
I Heard About It.
367
00:15:49,689 --> 00:15:50,724
And Then I Got Hooked.
368
00:15:50,724 --> 00:15:52,034
And Then I Discovered That
369
00:15:52,034 --> 00:15:53,965
A Lot Of People Have Gone Out
To Try And Find It.
370
00:15:53,965 --> 00:15:56,379
I Read Somewhere That There
Had Been More Than 30

Full-Scale Expeditions.
372

376
00:16:08,517 --> 00:16:12,137
The Area That This Lost City
Is Situated In Is Vast.
377
00:16:12,137 --> 00:16:14,896
It's A Massive Expanse
Of Nothingness.
378
00:16:14,896 --> 00:16:18,965
I Mean, We're In The Middle
Of Absolutely Nowhere.
379
00:16:18,965 --> 00:16:21,793
Despite Farini's Career
As A Circus Showman,
380
00:16:21,793 --> 00:16:25,551
Adam Has Become Convinced That
He Didn't Invent The Lost City.
381
00:16:25,551 --> 00:16:28,931
After All, In Farini's 400-Page
Book On The Kalahari,
382
00:16:28,931 --> 00:16:32,551
The Mention Of The Lost City
Takes Up Less Than Two Pages.
383
00:16:32,551 --> 00:16:34,413
It's Not A Big Sort
Of Description.
384
00:16:34,413 --> 00:16:35,724
There's No Fanfare To It.
385
00:16:35,724 --> 00:16:37,862
He Drops It In
In A Couple Of Paragraphs,
386
00:16:37,862 --> 00:16:39,724
And He Continues On
With His Story.
387
00:16:39,724 --> 00:16:41,586
Right. It's Not Like
He Leveraged It
388
00:16:41,586 --> 00:16:43,758
Into Some Big, You Know,
Moneymaking Scheme.
389
00:16:43,758 --> 00:16:45,724
The Book Isn't Really About
The Lost City.
390
00:16:45,724 --> 00:16:47,448
The Book Is Just About
The Kalahari.
391
00:16:47,448 --> 00:16:49,586
Certainly.
That's Exactly What It Is.
392
00:16:49,586 --> 00:16:51,862
So It's Very Plausible
And Very Possible
393
00:16:51,862 --> 00:16:54,103
That This Lost City
Is Still Out There.
394
00:16:54,103 --> 00:16:56,379

That Adam Might Be Right,

Where He's Led Us.

Just Pull Over Up Here.

Farini's Description.

In Farini's Writings,

As A Tumbled-Town Wall

Squared-Off Blocks.

This Is What I Want To Show You.

Based On These
Square Blocks,
416
00:17:56,034 --> 00:17:58,172
That Farini Mistook These
As Manmade
417
00:17:58,172 --> 00:17:59,793
And, Hence,
A Lost City.
418
00:17:59,793 --> 00:18:01,586
So, What Do You Think?
Case Closed?
419
00:18:01,586 --> 00:18:03,137
Okay,
What Do You Think, Josh?
420
00:18:03,137 --> 00:18:06,000
Does This Look Natural Or Does
This Look Manmade To You?
421
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,517
From A Quarter Of A Mile Out,
It Fooled Me, Sure.
422
00:18:08,517 --> 00:18:10,586
Because It Does --
It Comes Out Of Nowhere.
423
00:18:10,586 --> 00:18:13,620
You're Looking At This Flat
Horizon When You See This --

What Looks Like Blocks.
425
00:18:14,965 --> 00:18:17,068
But Once You're Up On Top
Of It, No.
426
00:18:17,068 --> 00:18:18,413
To Me, It Looks Natural.
427

There's Lots Of
Rounded Stones Here,
428

And They All Look
Very Weathered,
429
00:18:22,103 --> 00:18:24,206
And, Really, Even The Lines
Are Quite Straight.
430
00:18:24,206 --> 00:18:25,793
They're Not
Perfectly Straight.
431
00:18:25,793 --> 00:18:27,793
And There's No Real Evidence
Of Tool Marks.
432
00:18:27,793 --> 00:18:30,586
So, No, I Think
It Looks Pretty Natural.
433
00:18:30,586 --> 00:18:32,793
Farini Might've Been
A Circus Guy And Entertainer,
434
00:18:32,793 --> 00:18:34,206
But He Certainly
Was No Fool.
435

Accomplished Botanist,

This Was Natural,

Natural, As Well.

Is Somewhere Else.

Something Else.
948

It Means That The Societies Are
No Longer Hunter-Gatherers.
949

More Sedentary.

Was Something --

European Civilization

Civilization.
