[Hookswords]

This isnt the first time I've heard of a seemingly displaced tribe of white people. I'd love to know the story behind these happenings

they need to run a spell check before they publish an article. they keep spelling civilization as "civilisation" all throughout the article.

Isnt "civilisation" the Brittish spelling?

[B u r l]

this is awesome. i wanna research more about them.

also yeah, we tend to spell things with s's rather than z's.

[stoph]

yeah! dont get all high and mighty with you americanised spelling, all your over zealous Z's and what not, not to mention dropping the letter U from such words as favourite or colour, the british pretty much birthed us all and its only right to honour correct spelling! :P

oh, awesome find btw! :D

Isnt "civilisation" the Brittish spelling?

Yes, that's right. But there is only one 't' in British Duq!

[bluefooted]

Yes, that's right. But there is only one 't' in British Duq!

That's the American spelling :P

Also, its the daily mail... so upon reading that "they need to check their spelling" I wasn't surprised. however it does sound fair interesting... I'll have a root about for a better source.

EDIT

I checked the guardian and the BBC, to no avail... however the telegraph has this to say, with a video and everything (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/southamerica/peru/3545998/Lost-city-of-cloud-people-found-in-Peru.html)

Hitler went back in time with his master race army, and the result was another epic fail!

great article...thanks for posting...looks like a design doc page from a role playing game.

thats how you design worlds...some text...some histories...some images...some maps...and then just keep flushing it out.

Pointing out mistakes in other languages with reference to your own.. That's a first!

Regarding the article -- it's awesome how much we think we've discovered earth and how little we really have.

This just reminded me of this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hJQsvoY6VU)

Since we're on the topic of spelling, here's another mind boggling article with odd spelling. The header is "culture and civilization (http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A402977)" while the body has it spelled "civilisation."
