Fabled city where monkeys were worshipped as gods discovered by archaeologists in Honduras
ARCHAEOLOGISTS believe they have found a fabled Lost City of the Monkey Gods in the jungles of Honduras.
The 'monkey' city was discovered in the jungles of Honduras
Journalist Theodore Morde claimed in 1940 he had found a city with evidence that monkeys were worshipped as gods.
He committed suicide to ensure it was not found and looted.
Now a team from the US, UK and Honduras using infra-red mapping have uncovered two cities built between 1000 and 1400AD.
US leader Chris Fisher said one city, with plazas, houses, pyramids and priceless artefacts, was overrun with monkeys.
