Lexington Professor To Search For "Lost City"
- {Kentucky}...Christopher Begley, an anthropology professor at Transylvania University in Lexington, has received a grant from the National Geographic Society to advance his search for a "lost city" in Honduras. Begley will use the grant to examine ancient artifacts in an area of the Honduran rainforest near the Mosquito Coast that is rumored to be the location of an ancient lost city. Begley will travel to Honduras this week with a team that includes photographer and documentary filmmaker Josh Howard and University of Kentucky engineering professor Larry Hassebrook. They will spend the next year using new technology to conduct archaeological research and filming a documentary called "The Lost City of the Mosquito Coast: A Modern Struggle for the Past."
