A really long time. A really long time. I think about that with foraging. Yesterday I was reading Exploration Faucet. Have you ever read this before or listened to the audio book? It's Percy's personal diary. Oh, wow. There's an audio book of that? Yeah, it's on Audible. Dude, you'll get wrapped up in it. You won't be able to stop listening to it. He just has these amazing experiences and
ah, man, he would be like your best, like your all-time guest, you know, if you could have him on. Sure. He had a great accent, too. Yeah, yeah, for sure. And so you listen to his audio book, and the way he talks about meeting the indigenous people that live deep in the Amazon, you know, it would take him weeks to get to these little villages.

And while he was out there, he would see like the systematic mathematical structure with which they would set up these giant villages and how they would build these huge like thatch wood homes with foundations that are stones. And these people were โ he said that they had like beautiful skin. They spoke elegantly. They sang songs.

And he was like โ he's like this isn't โ he's like these people in the Amazon are not โ primitive savages, like my colleagues at the Royal Geographic Society in London believe that they are. These are people who are the descendants of a fallen great civilization. He was like, the way they interact with each other is so sophisticated.

I don't quite know. There's some things that are left out. He has some... Before he started writing this, I think he always had these ideas in the back of his mind. And so you don't really get the origin of why he initially started thinking this. But while he's exploring South America, he's hearing all these stories of semi-contacted people. You have...

natives who still live the native life, but they can speak Spanish. And he could speak a little bit of Spanish and communicate with these people. So he would hear about, oh, yeah, there's this huge city of gold off in the jungle. Months travel that way. And it's the same kind of legend that all these Spaniards had heard.

So it's this idea of, well, there was this civilization that used to be out there. And so Percy thought that maybe it has something to do with Atlantis. And so that was part of his journey looking for it. And then he it's actually his wife, Nina Fawcett, I believe, when she's in a library in England, she finds a Portuguese document. I think it's manuscript 512. Have you ever heard of this?

I could have the name of it wrong, but I think it's manuscript 512. And in that, it's these guys who are kind of like semi-professional Portuguese explorers in the mid 1700s that are going around Brazil. And they find this huge stone city with statues that they thought looked like Greek gods in the middle of the Amazon.
