The storm forces them to crash land in the Congo jungle. There they are surrounded by gorillas who seems ready to attack them, but Zia uses her mind reading abilities to talk to them, but the smell of leopard on them causes the main gorilla to go berserk and is about to attack Mendoza when another, white gorilla intervenes and fight it off, and seems to react to Zia's medallion... I got two references here. First, Lovecraft since I read a couple of his stories by now and he seemed to have the idea of precursor humans that was more apelike and their reaction to this puts my mind toward that area. The second is that this is an homage too Tarzan with the white ape and the leopard hostility. Kinda clever, but no Phil Collin songs sadly.
Zia gets the mask and the gorillas seems to go in a frenzy. The white gorilla takes them to a mountain by a ravine and points out the 6th city beyond the ravine. Zia puts on the mask and sees a golden path across, but Esteban's vertigo makes him unable to move on. As a call back to the first season Zia reminds him of the promise he made that he would always protect her and that now she will do the same. The gorillas prevents the adults from crossing with the children so the kids hold hands as Zia leads them with the mask, getting stuck only once as Estebans courage fails him in the middle of the light bridge. It's actually a sweet moment as he sits their shivering with tears falling and his friends supporting him to stand again so that they can continue.
When they get to the other side the mask shows them marking on the trees leading to a structure where they use the medallions to summon the 6th city in the form of a gigantic tree, and they call back to Tao's home on the Galápagos. Seems someone wanted to tie the whole series in with call backs to all seasons it seems. There they find a projection of one of the Ancients, and according to the translation it seems to be more Atlantean in this part of the world. The projection recap the war, but warns them off an even greater danger. The astronomer from Mu and Atlantis foresaw that a meteor was coming toward Earth and that it would take 12 000 years for it to arrive and might destroy the planet. Suddenly we're are in Final Fantasy VII!
The documentary of course focused on the Gorillas, but also giant ants. Wonder if that will show up. But this means 6 cities have been found and that they need to build the 7th one in order to destroy or alter the course of the meteor to save the planet. Which probably will destroy the city and leave the course of the world toward what we have today, explaining why none of the Atlantean or Mu tech was used to advance us into the future.
