The film is based on the book by the Lambs, which archaeologist Frans Blom completely panned. I read the book twice to get some idea of where this "Lost City" could be located, but gave up. Carlos Frey traveled with them for a while, but left them, claiming that they were "phoneys".
Because the Lambs would never admit that they had somehow found a relatively minor site, the unique stela that they really did find has probably gone into a private collection somewhere. Their book includes what is a photo of Temple 33 at Yaxchilán, which suggests that it is of a location at their "lost city".
Even after Ginger Lamb had died, Dana maintained the fiction.
