Kinga Philipps is back with us for part two of our investigation
into the legend of the lost city of Akakor. In this
episode, we look closer at the facts in this case, attempting to
separate them from the fiction. Kinga has a specific and
knowledgeable insight into Tatunca Nara’s point of view as she
and J.J. Kelley interviewed him at his home in Barcelos,
Amazonas, in 2019 for their Travel Channel show, Lost in the
Wild. In the 1980s, at least three people hired Tatunca as
a guide to find Akakor. Two were never seen again, and one
was found with a bullet hole in the back of their skull.
Did they insist on venturing into the jungle alone, as Tatunca
claimed? What became of the journalist Karl Brugger, whose
book The Chronicle of Akakor could be considered the catalyst to
this series of events? Is this mystery more natural,
supernatural, or criminal at its core? Whatever the truth
at the heart of this darkness, the fact is that an incredible
account, a fantastic fable, mere words can spark quests and
tragedy.
