Colonel Percy Harrison Fawcett Timeline & Summary

  • In 1888—the 1999 of the 19th century—Fawcett is a lieutenant in the Royal Artillery.
  • On leave, Fawcett meets his future wife, Nina. Bells ring in 1901.
  • After leaving the military, Fawcett joins the Royal Geographic Society to learn how to explore. Before heading to the jungle, he's recruited to be a spy for the British. We've all been there, spying on Moroccan royalty.
  • Over the years, Fawcett goes on progressively more dangerous expeditions.
  • In the 1910s, Fawcett develops his theory of Z, a magical city he is desperate to find.
  • During that decade, Fawcett doesn't find it.
  • Fawcett is often cruel to his crewmen because they don't live up to his standards. Only one man can: his mini-me, Jack Fawcett. You know, his son.
  • With Jack's friend Raleigh, Fawcett returns to the jungle in 1925 to find Z.
  • Fawcett is never seen again.
