How It All Goes Down
The Locked Box
- Grann travels to Rio de Janeiro to look at one last manuscript, which he considers "the Holy Grail for Fawcett freaks" (16.7).
- With the help of a bilingual librarian, Grann translates the piece of cloth-like parchment from Portuguese to English.
- A Portuguese man in search of gold says he found the ruins of an ancient city.
- What does this have to do with Fawcett?
- Well, at the bottom of the manuscript are several diagrams, and they match the symbols Grann saw in Fawcett's diaries.
- Fawcett must have read this document, too.
