The human desire to explore and discover new things has shaped our history and progress as a species. Throughout centuries, explorers have embarked on daring quests in search of lost cities, hidden treasures, mysterious creatures, and even the meaning of life itself. However, some stories of exploration remain untold, buried in the annals of history. Today, we bring you the astonishing tale of a 165-year search that captivated the world, pushed the limits of human capabilities, and changed the course of science forever.

The Mysterious Disappearance

Our story begins in the year 1856, when renowned archaeologist and adventurer, Professor Samuel Thompson, vanished without a trace during an expedition deep into the heart of the Amazon rainforest. Thompson had set out in search of the legendary "Lost City of Zorgon," an ancient civilization rumored to possess unimaginable wealth and untold knowledge.

For decades, rumors of Thompson's fate circulated, with many believing he had fallen victim to the treacherous jungles or met his demise at the hands of indigenous tribes. However, his disappearance only fueled the curiosity of those who sought answers, giving birth to a relentless pursuit that spanned generations.

The Family Legacy

Thompson's disappearance sparked a fire within his descendants, who were determined to unravel the mystery of his fate. The search became a family legacy, passed down from generation to generation, as each descendant took up the mantle and continued the quest.

In 1892, Emily Thompson, Samuel's great-granddaughter, embarked on her own expedition to locate her ancestor and bring closure to the family. Armed with her great-grandfather's journal, she retraced his steps through the perilous Amazonian terrain.

A Breakthrough Discovery

After years of relentless searching, Emily stumbled upon an ancient temple buried deep within the Amazon rainforest. Inside, she found inscriptions and artifacts that hinted at the existence of a hidden civilization and its sacred artifacts.

Her discovery set off a flurry of excitement among archaeologists and historians, igniting a race to uncover the truth behind this lost civilization. The site became known as "Thompson's Temple" in honor of the family's enduring pursuit.

Unraveling the Secrets

As experts delved deeper into the enigmatic temple, they unveiled astounding secrets about the lost civilization. The Zorgonians, as they came to be known, were an advanced society with highly sophisticated technology and an unparalleled understanding of the natural world.

The Zorgonians' inventions included incredible energy sources, intricate machinery, and architectural marvels that baffled even the most accomplished scientists of the time. Their civilization had flourished long before any known ancient civilization, challenging the existing timeline of human history.

Legacy of the Search

The discovery of Thompson's Temple not only shed light on the fate of Professor Samuel Thompson but also revolutionized our understanding of human history. It sparked a renewed interest in exploration and further motivated scientists and adventurers to discover the untold stories that lie hidden beneath the Earth's surface.

In honor of the Thompson family's perseverance and contribution to discovery, the "Thompson Exploration Society" was established, dedicated to uncovering lost civilizations and unraveling the mysteries that have eluded us for centuries.

The 165-year search for Professor Samuel Thompson and the discovery of the lost civilization of the Zorgonians reveal the incredible dedication and resilience of human beings. It reminds us of the vast possibilities that await us beyond the boundaries of our known world. The untold stories that lie in wait continue to captivate our imagination, urging us to embark on new journeys and uncover the secrets that have yet to be revealed.

In 2014 media around the world buzzed with news that an archaeological team from Parks Canada had located and identified the wreck of HMS Erebus, the flagship of Sir John Franklin’s lost expedition to find the Northwest Passage. Finding Franklin outlines the larger story and the cast of detectives from every walk of life that led to the discovery, solving one of the Arctic’s greatest mysteries. In compelling and accessible prose, Russell Potter details his decades of work alongside key figures in the era of modern searches for the expedition and elucidates how shared research and ideas have led to a fuller understanding of the Franklin crew’s final months. Illustrated with numerous images and maps from the last two centuries, Finding Franklin recounts the more than fifty searches for traces of his ships and crew, and the dedicated, often obsessive, men and women who embarked on them. Potter discusses the crucial role that Inuit oral accounts, often cited but rarely understood, played in all of these searches, and continue to play to this day, and offers historical and cultural context to the contemporary debates over the significance of Franklin’s achievement. While examination of HMS Erebus will undoubtedly reveal further details of this mystery, Finding Franklin assembles the stories behind the myth and illuminates what is ultimately a remarkable decades-long discovery.
