He spent many years of his life studying the mysteries of the Eldorado (finding the location of the extinct lake Parime as shown at his book "A Light on Amazonian Misteries") and the origin of the primitive men of the Americas, presenting a new theory linking all natives in South and North America to the primitive Asian indigenous (as presented at the book "Rethinking Our Pre History").
