You can put Lost Pilot Zombie and Zomboss Battle planes as counter arguements but those would even push the time zone all the way to second world war so I'm dismissing him for this theory.

First, look at the parasol zombie, it's clearly the clothing of 18th century aristocrath women. Next, the concept. I think we can safely assume that the "Lost City" is El Dorado, because of the strong connections of both being cities of gold, being lost place that is searched for and being inside a jungle. The rumors of Eldorado were most widespread between 1500s and 1700s, all of the expeditions to find that city was made at that period, as at the middle of 19th century, it was fully dismist. There is also that heavy Exploration Era theme, which was quite over and turned into colonization of africa, oceanea & southeast asia after mid 19th century. Looking at their clothing, I'm pretty certein that the zombies of Lost City are Jesuits. While legit airships weren't a thing before 1852, the design of Zombot Aerostatic Gondola hightly resembels to airship plans made between 1650s and 1850s to turn hot air ballons into controllable flying transportation vehicles. It should also be considered that Aerostatic Gondola uses a very similar principle to Hot air ballons; sandbags, which suggets that it is a transition era vehicle.

Jesuits? I have never seen jesuits dressed anything like that. The garments suggest late 19th century / early 20th century. Like other posters said here, Parasol Zombie is based on Jane from Tarzan (and Turquoise Skull is based on Jane's father). Tarzan is set to the early 1900s.

Early 1900s is probably the best time period because it can fit all the LC designs without making leaps of logic or casually dismissing evidence (ie: airplanes)
