À propos de ce contenu audio

Episode 2: The Maps That Never Led Anywhere Jack investigates the cartographic crimes behind El Dorado: forged maps, deliberately falsified coordinates, contradictory eyewitness accounts, and explorers who invented cities to secure funding. He exposes how maps became weapons in territorial disputes, how cartographers working in European studios drew locations they'd never visited, and how fraudulent geography guided expeditions toward disaster. From the nonexistent Lake Parime to the fabricated testimonies of explorers like Sir Walter Raleigh, this episode reveals how lies achieve longevity through repetition, authority, and just enough vagueness to prevent immediate disproof. The maps didn't reflect reality—they reflected politics, greed, and the human need for hope to have coordinates.
