Descoperire arheologică sub junglă: Laserele dezvăluie sute de geoglife create de o civilizație antică misterioasă din pădurea Amazon

Archaeologists have uncovered ancient earthworks in the Amazon, revealing the complex Aquiry civilization, which thrived over 2,500 years ago. This society, with a population potentially reaching 3 million, constructed monumental geoglyphs for ceremonial purposes. Recent lidar technology helped identify 396 new geoglyphs, suggesting a much larger number may still exist. The Aquiry civilization's sudden decline between 850 and 950 AD raises questions about its disappearance, paralleling other pre-colonial societies. The findings challenge previous views on urban development in South America.
