Hundreds of geoglyphs belonging to a mysterious civilization that lived thousands of years ago have been discovered in the Amazon rainforest.
Hundreds of geoglyphs belonging to a mysterious civilization that flourished thousands of years ago have been discovered beneath the Amazon rainforests using laser technology. This discovery could fundamentally change our understanding of human activity in the region.
These ancient forms were identified through advanced laser technology known as Lidar (Light Detection and Ranging), which allows for mapping the earth's surface beneath dense forest cover. The discovery of hundreds of geoglyphs indicates that the Amazon hosted much larger and more complex societies than previously thought.
According to Live Science, this finding is expected to provide archaeologists with new information about the culture, social structure, and interaction with the environment of this mysterious civilization. This discovery is prompting researchers to re-evaluate their understanding of the Amazon region's rich history and its early inhabitants.
