Speaking of Lost Cities, I've been watching the 80s cartoon Mysterious Cities of Gold with my kids. Highly recommended. It's a lost gem about the time of conquistadors in southern and central America - well written for a kids show, entertaining for adults, continuous story arc like modern shows, and a nice mix of history and science fiction.


I remember watching (and loving) that as a child, and it was only somewhat recently that I learned it was inspired upon a book:

Not a great read, but I was certainly feeling nostalgic when I finished it.


Here is a write up about the history behind The Mysterious Cities of Gold:
