  • Lots of Maya stuff

    Found this quite impressive.

    Basically they did Lidar scans of a rather big area that revealed Maya a huge number of buildings/infrastructure now covered by jungle, incl. complex fortifications and causeways.
    Latest technology reveals a network of more than 60,000 structures under Guatemala's jungle.
    Blah

        No - but there is one slight problem. The lidar shows the entirety of what the Mayans built in that area in a single snapshot. We don't know what sections were built when or if the entire thing was being actively used all at one time.
        “It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”
