The Yi Jing commented:
Lure of the Lost City -> 43.1.5 > 32
The formation
43 - Revelation
The concern shall be clearly described, shouting results in danger. Explain the situation to one's entourage. Avoid any brutality and do not divert.
1 - There is a risk of rupture by displaying one's preferences. One must keep a low profile.
5 - Others return because one didn't want to continue.
In the making
32 - Perseverance
One must be careful before committing themself, after they must continue.
My interpretation:
We can ask follow-up questions for a better understanding:
What concern? (43)
What concern? -> 16
The formation
16 - Youth
Youth can be mobilized. It is a period of indecision which will be emerged through involvement.
Mobilized to do what? (16)
Mobilized to do what? -> 6.5 > 64
The formation
6 - Claim
One is prevented from continuing, despite thinking that they say the truth. Do not use force to conclude. Entrust a mediator.
5 - Request arbitration, one will be able to present their case.
In the making
64 - Instability
One must show patience and only act knowingly. They are cautious and inform their relatives.
Preferences about what? (43.1)
Preferences about what? -> 35.6 > 16
The formation
35 - Discovery
Answers come naturally.
6 - When others don't like it, one refrains.
In the making
16 - Youth
Youth can be mobilized. It is a period of indecision which will be emerged through involvement.
Who/what is returning? (43.5)
Who/what is returning? -> 64.6 > 40
The formation
64 - Instability
One must show patience and only act knowingly. They are cautious and inform their relatives.
6 - One does not show their hesitations, in order to not discourage their group.
In the making
40 - Amending
One makes progress by abandoning what limited them.
Who/what didn't want to continue? (43.5)
Who/what didn't want to continue? -> 1.3.5 > 38
The formation
1 - Evolution
Changing to obtain quality work.
3 - After a sustained activity, one questions themself.
5 - One has understood the needs of the times.
In the making
38 - Misunderstanding
One must revisit a misunderstanding if they want to dispel it. If needed, one can seek advice. One may abandon the small differences.
Continue what? (32)
Continue what? -> 17.4.5 > 24
The formation
17 - To guide
When one rejoices others, they join with them.
4 - When one gets, it leads to requests.
5 - One is guided by what they love.
In the making
24 - To return
One returns to see the results of their action.
Who continues? (32)
Who continues? -> 62.1.3 > 51
The formation
62 - Exit
One checks before going out.
1 - One accepts to examine the weakest, in order to know if one must continue with the others until they are ready.
3 - One asks the most able to assess the repairs.
In the making
51 - Shock
Something is coming which enables the identification of a problem.
The article mentions the struggle of a filmmaker, Steve Elkins, to find the White City. The concern in this region is the progress of deforestation, so the Hondurian need to choose between preserving the forest and making more cattle ranches.
In this perspective,43.1 is about cattle ranches. 43.5 is about the Mosquitia Patrimonial Heritage Preserve, as explained at the end of the article.
The hexagram 32 shows how Steve Elkins (62.3) and the archaeologist Chris Fisher (62.1) continue to look after the city.
Finally we need a last follow-up question about 51:
What is the problem identified? (51)
What is the problem identified? -> 62.2.3 > 40
The formation
62 - Exit
One checks before going out.
2 - One is departing from the best.
3 - One asks the most able to assess the repairs.
In the making
40 - Amending
One makes progress by abandoning what limited them.
What is the best? (62.2)
What is the best? -> 12
The formation
12 - Disorganization
Problems prevent the progress. The best solution would be to leave.
What problems? (12)
What problems? -> 21.1.4 > 23
The formation
21 - To decide
One would like to meet but must accept arbitration.
1 - One sends a relative away to teach them.
4 - One wonders what is needed.
In the making
23 - Erosion
Decline that one can control by using their reservations.
It's about this:
The conclusion is that if no measures are taken to protect this lost city it will be looted and destroyed. Since there is no mobilization to defend it, there is not much hope to see this city preserved.

It's about this:
Virgilio Paredes, the director of the Honduran Institute of Anthropology and History, under whose auspices the expedition operated, calculated that at the present rate, clear-cutting will reach the T1 valley in eight years or less, destroying possible cultural treasures and leaving others open to rampant looting.
