Ted" Morde( May 18, 1911 – June 26, 1954), an adventurer, explorer, diplomat, spy, journalist, and television news producer best known for his unverified claim of discovering the" Lost City of the Monkey God". Morde began his career as a radio announcer before getting into journalism. In 1940, he was hired to lead an expedition to search for the" Lost City of the Monkey God" in Honduras. After five months, he claimed to have found the city and brought thousands of artifacts back to the United States to prove it. He promised to return soon for a proper excavation, but never did, nor did he reveal the precise location of his find. Morde spent the later years of his life as a diplomat, then a producer of news films. He took his own life in 1954. In 2013, Christopher S. Stewart wrote a book about Morde and his hunt for a legendary" lost city" that some have equated with" la Ciudad Blanca". Douglas Preston's 2017 book" The Lost City of the Monkey God" shows that, based on Morde's own expedition journals, Morde never found any ruins and completely fabricated his story of having done so.
