The Mysterious Cities of Gold - Les Mystérieuses Cités d'or: Is coming back!!
I found a few French media sources that claim the return of Les Mystérieuses Cités d'or or known in the States as The Mysterious Cities of Gold. Appears a production company names Blue Spirit is handling the reigns.
I am thoroughly glad that the character designs and aesthetic of the original show is kept; though the production value has been vastly improved. Gotta hand it to the French; an American production would most likely have "amped-it-up" or give it an "animated-look" a-la the WB. Also I'm am happy to hear that this is not a reboot, but an actual continuation of the original series; taking off after the events at the end of the first series.

I grew up watching The Mysterious Cities of Gold on Nickelodeon with my brother in the mid-80's. It was part of a group of Japanese-European produced cartoons that made their way stateside. From the opening music and stylistic Mesoamerican themes, I remember this series fondly. With an over-arching storyline you journeyed along with Esteban, an orphan and so destined "Child of the Sun", from Spain and overseas to the undiscovered land of the Americas. Along the way he is befriended by would-be treasure and adventure seeking mercenaries, Mendoza and his bumbling sidekids, Pedro and Sancho. He would also meet his most trusted friends, Zia, a daughter of a Incan priest, and Tao, the last survivor of the Mu empire.
When they're not running from the Spanish conquistador Pizarro and his men, their adventures lead them to the discovery of wondrous temples and cities, new and different people, and even sun powered machines made of gold.
Had a link to all the episodes on youtube, but looks like the videos have been removed since; here is a link to one of the other shows imported to the states via Nickelodeon we also watched,that was equally intriguing to me as a kid.

Childhood Dreams - Wars of Man
reddit user, jaclar, claims the locaion in the picture is "Eastern Prayer Road" in Herbron/West Bank.
"I know where this place is. It's the so called "Eastern Prayer Road" in Hebron/West Bank. The story behind this street is that it is used by the Israeli settlers which live in Kiryat Arba to go to to the Cave Of The Patriarchs during Shabat (each Saturday). During this time no Palestinian is allowed to step on the road to "avoid conflicts". The stone barrier where the kid is hiding behind serves the purpose to ensure this policy.Here is the same place from another perspective. As it seems the picture is already a couple of years old because the wall looks much newer. I don't think the soldiers are particular searching for the kid. They are mostly their on patrol
but knowing Palestinian kids of this age they are usually horrified when Israeli soldiers approach
*note: The costume is not an Easter Bunny, but a costume worn for, Purim, a Jewish holiday that commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people in the ancient Persian Empire from destruction in the wake of a plot by Haman, a story recorded in the Biblical Book of Esther (Megillat Esther).
