to me Uncharted seems to focus around a famous treasure, el dorado and Shangri-La, as much as the explorer.
the one explorer/treasure that i can think of is Juan Ponce De Leon and his search for the fountain of youth. could be interesting as it would take drake to what is now Haiti and Florida. seems he was involved in a political battle with Columbus as well. maybe things could cross over into the downfall of the mayans as well.
anyways, most of this post comes down to me not having a very good schooling of historical explorers.
