Relics

 * Video Camera

At the Gate

 * Location: Peruvian Jungle

That starched shirt Fawcett may be getting all the attention, but I know his time is almost up. The world will remember Timothy Walker as the man who finally found the lost city of El Dorado.

We've set up camp in the canyon. It was a grueling journey to get this far. We'll rest here a few days. Get our bearings. Some of the men need patching up. And I wouldn't mind one good night's sleep.

The men say something came through the camp last night. The jungle is getting to them. I keep telling them that we're close and we need to keep it together. One of the scouts has found a temple of some kind up ahead. We'll start construction of bridges and ladders this morning, and head out from camp this afternoon.

Covering the Tracks

 * Location: The Hidden City

Any squad venturing outside Kan must take special precautions in covering their tracks. We're close now, and the last thing we need is droves of tourists showing up, trying to be the first to get the perfect selfies in the city.

El Dorado

 * Location: The Hidden City

This Spanish document relates one of the many stories of El Dorado, the Golden One. When the first Spanish exploration ships returned home with their holds full of gold, the news spread like wildfire, and the stories got more extravagant with each retelling. Rumors of the golden city gave birth to countless expeditions to the New World.

Fawcett's Legacy

 * Location: The Hidden City

Had to put the last remaining mule down yesterday. Broke its leg. Shame. Terrible shame. But I think I've found it. Came across an abandoned village that simply must be Z. If only father were still alive.

I'm resting here for the night, tomorrow I'll begin a thorough investigation of the site.

The world will know a Fawcett discovered the Lost City.

Fever Dreams

 * Location: Kuwaq Yaku

Followed the Napo to the Amazon. Nothing but jungle for weeks. Philips got the fever, and I had to drag the bastard through this forsaken jungle for the last few days.

He kept me awake every night. Screaming something about being covered in snakes.

Just when we were about to succumb to exhaustion, we arrived at a small settlement built at the foot of an ancient temple. The locals fed us and nursed Philips until his fever broke. After asking around, I've found out there's another temple close by, twin to the first.

Once Philips regains his strength, we'll explore these temples. This journey will not have been for naught, after all.

Finger Length Away

 * Location: Peruvian Jungle

Damn this place. Damn this forsaken jungle. It holds a jewel, just out of reach, then sweeps your legs out from under you. We've almost made it across that bottomless pit. Some kind of altar beckons from the other side. Under a giant stone face that seems to mock our efforts. Something attacked the camp. Some men claimed it was panthers. Others said something more sinister...

Half the crew insist on abandoning the expedition. I had to dress one man down. Made an example of him.

All I need is one more day. One more lousy day...

Misdirection

 * Location: Kuwaq Yaku

This was written by an explorer in the mid-Twentieth Century, who was looking for a lost city. He discovered a small trading post near the basecampbase camp [sic], run by a woman named Qhama. He asked her if she knew any old stories which might help them find the lost city. By the time he wrote this, the explorer was near death, and convinced she'd misled their expedition deliberately.
