Manuscript 512

Colonial Brazilian document telling of the discovery of a lost city

Manuscript 512 is a ten-page manuscript of dubious veracity and unknown authorship that relates the discovery of a "lost city" in Bahia, Brazil by a group of bandeirantes in 1753. Originally found in 1839 at the National Library of Brazil, where it is kept to this day, the document tells of a group of Portuguese adventurers who searched for a long time the legendary mines of Muribeca, traveling for about ten years in the Brazil's jungle. During their journey the adventurers discovered the abandoned settlement of a lost city whose architecture, monuments, and artifacts recall Greco-Roman style.
