LIDAR Scan Discovered an Unknown Civilization In The Amazon

  • For centuries, it was believed that the Amazon Rainforest was a huge expanse of natural wilderness untouched by human hands, home to only a few tiny indigenous tribes since time immemorial.
    However, new research has shown that this longstanding belief is wrong, that in fact, the Amazon is not an untouched wilderness, but was once home to a monumental ancient civilization, one which has been completely missing from the history books.
    What we’re now learning about this lost civilization is not only totally changing our understanding of human history, but perhaps has the power to change the future of humanity as we know it.

      Hi cousin, love ppl from Belize, so nice and fun, my ppl r from Jalisco and Sonora Mexico. It's true what U say, Mexico Central, South America, full of ancient things. I remember when I would visit my family and my cousins and I would walk to the creek, we would find arrow heads and pieces of pottery. We were to young to realize what we had in our hands, regret not saving them.

    0:13: 🌿 New research reveals that the Amazon rainforest was once home to a lost ancient civilization, challenging our understanding of history and potentially impacting the future of humanity.
    5:22: 🌴 The Amazon was believed to be an unexplored and uninhabited region until recent years.
    9:54: 🔍 Archaeological discoveries in Brazil reveal a hidden civilization.
    14:34: 🌳 LIDAR has been crucial for mapping the dense Amazon jungle, allowing researchers to digitally explore vast areas in a fraction of the time.
    19:55: 🔍 Archaeologists discovered two large urban centers with impressive structures and an advanced hydrological system in the region in 2022.
    23:58: 🌴 The population of a once thriving civilization in South America was decimated by disease, leading to the disappearance of their cities and leaving no evidence of their existence.
    28:56: 🌱 The terra preta soil could potentially save the modern world by increasing crop yields, reducing the need for toxic fertilizers, and sequestering carbon from the atmosphere.

What a shame that he was not proven right back in 1925. It would take virtually 100 years for him to be proven correct. I find that extremely sad.

      The only real flaw I see in Hancock's research is his penchant for adding narrative. He likes to draw a conclusion too quickly and when he does so, often goes of the rails just like mainstream academia does. Stop trying to 'tie it all together!' Let the data breathe. Let it speak for itself. It's an especially ironic problem for him, given that his data-driven research and source-citing scholarship is absolutely impeccable.

Critical that we get into organic gardening and farming on a massive scale. This could save us from the almost certain destruction of our civilization by the current dark forces. Books such as NOT-TWO IS PEACE and PRIOR UNITY can definitely help--mainly, by bringing out the fact of our prior unity as a family (Humankind) and the importance of suddenly cooperating worldwide beyond any boundaries, tolerating petty differences, and having the long-lasting peace we've always know we can have.

    If it wasn't so tragic, the irony would be quite humorous that so-called modern science looks back at such ancient civilizations as technically lacking, scientifically ignorant, or even backward. When in reality these civilizations had intuitively known how to live and coexist within the natural world without feeling that they had to control it. Something it seems unlikely that our reputedly "modern civilization" will ever figure out. And, as soon as you detailed how later explorers found nothing of Orellana's prior descriptions, I wondered whether Orellana's team might have introduced disease into their population, similar to the way the Europeans (supposedly) intentionally did to the Native American population with Smallpox.

    According to Graham Hancock, Terra Petra is a completely artificial soil, with definitive zones where it just stops, & the normal, unfertile soil commences. So, if you could use science to determine exactly where the black earth is located, then you could find the exact extent of this extinct civilisation(s).
    I am also of the belief it would be found to be far older, than modern scientists/archeologists/historians would be willing to accept. Some of those larger temple structures look quite similar to those found at places like Teotihuacan. Given no one knows who built those temple structures either, there could be an historical correlation.
    The precursor civilisation (according to modern archeology) of the Aztecs were the Olmecs. And, as nothing is known about them, then, geographically, it's not that far. So these Peoples could be linked. And, that is assuming there was no civilisation, before the Olmecs. Given, how much information is coming to light, from new scientific techniques, to refute the modern, accepted mainstream theory, of Man, in the region, that would be a dangerous position for one to hold.

    According to the book “1491, the Americas before Columbus”, native Americans mitochondrial DNA indicates an enhanced susceptibility to RNA viruses, such as smallpox. Instead of them having a single digit fatality rate, as they did in Europe, they may well have had a greater than 50% fatality rate and, as you can imagine, with over 50% of one’s population wiped out a lot of villages just straight up wouldn’t retain the skills needed to continue to survive, much less thrive.

    I read a book around 2000 called '1491', about the Americas prior to Columbus. It spoke of Orellana and Terra Preta. It spoke of villages non-stop along the Amazon. 2000 was before LIDAR was used, so there has been a LOT added to what has been found.
    The book talked of entire cultures all over the Americas, wiped out or decimated by European diseases the Spanish and English and French and Portuguese didn't know they were carrying. The Incas, Aztecs, and other civilizations were wiped out, not by soldiers in battle, but by bacteria and viruses. The book talks about why the natives were so 100% killed. And the book gave an estimate that the Americas had 300 million population before Columbus, and that 97% died of diseases. 100% in MANY places, from S America to Maine.
    It was a sad book to read, but really interesting.

      You may not be racist; but this is a racist argument. Europeans arrive in NA, see “primitive” society with certain technology more advanced than Europeans, and they assume that any advanced society would definitely have developed the same way Europeans did and look similar to them. Assuming indigenous people can’t make sophisticated advancements on their own is racist. They have thousands of years of experience just like all other humans, just a different way of organizing their society

      This was all claimed by Graham Hancock on one the several appearances he's had as a guest on Joe Rogan podcast so not sure if true but he said that the soil your referring to is the most fertile soil in the world and is like miracle grow on steroids and that we still cannot figure out how to replicate it and produce it nowadays which he stated would be very beneficial for growing crops in places where they tend to to have difficulty growing if they grow at all. Probably true as I know there's Damascus steel we're unable to produce nowadays that was made by Greeks or Roman's I believe and also the concrete that Roman's used for roads is still better than our own best mixes of aggregate and is much stronger and seemingly holds together forever so just a few things among many that our ancestors had or used that we don't have or haven't figured out today other than the obvious megalithic structures which many think is all we can't figure out today

      It helps to have the right environmental factors to begin with.
      Prior to the building of the Aswan dam in 1960s the nation of Egypt never had a need to import fertilizer because the annual Nile flood event rejuvenated the soil of the river valley and delta with fresh nutrients from the mountains further south.
      In ancient times Egypt was known as the 'bread basket of the Mediterranean' because it produced such an insane abundance of grain from its fertile soils.

The majority simply cannot accept it; from their perspective, if it doesn't instantaneously "make sense" to them, then it must be dismissed and ignored. 💪😎✌️ Evidence, data, science and facts are pointless if I don't "believe it". If I don't *feel* as though the planet is spherical, then... it isn't. That is, if I'm like the 90% of humanity. 😂🤣😂 It's all about beliefs. Chump '45 taught people that! 🎯💰🎯
