Mystery Of The Ancient Lost Megalithic City Of Nhambiquaras And The Curious Roman Figurine
Ellen Lloyd – AncientPages.com – We learned about many remarkable, long-forgotten ancient cities hidden in the Amazon Jungle in recent years. Such discoveries made thanks to LIDAR have helped archaeologists shed new light on ancient riddles and improve our understanding of the past.
Using light detection and ranging technology, scientists have located never-before-seen monuments, cities, roads and ancient structures no-one knew existed. Certain areas, like the Amazon Jungle, are challenging to examine due to the vegetation and other danger explorers face, which is why relying on high-tech such as LIDAR is of great advantage to archaeologists.
Discoveries like the world’s oldest and largest Maya structure in Tabasco, Mexico, or the 100-kilometer-long stone highway that connected ancient Maya cities have fascinated anyone interested in ancient history.
Such remarkable archaeological discoveries give us several reasons to wonder what more could be hidden in the Amazon Jungle.
