Ancient Civilization Found in Amazon
The new study in the Amazon rainforest is a significant discovery that reveals the existence of an advanced human community dating back over two thousand years, hidden beneath the vegetation. Using LiDAR scanning technology, an international team uncovered hundreds of earthen structures, including circles, plazas, trenches, and roads. The studies suggest that the population of this society may have reached up to 3 million people at its peak between 600 BCE and 850 CE. These findings provide evidence that the Amazon was home to large, organized communities, reshaping scientists’ understanding of the history of major civilizations in the region, with the likelihood that many other sites remain hidden beneath the Amazonian canopy.
