Incredible
‘Mind blowing’ ancient settlements uncovered in the Amazon
The urban centres are the first to be discovered in the region, challenging archaeological dogma.'
So much for the primitive cavemen
Our lidar system has revealed built terraces, straight causeways, enclosures with checkpoints and water reservoirs. There are monumental structures just a mile apart, connected by 600 miles of canals, long raised causeways connecting the sites and reservoirs and lakes.”

even though the savannah plain, which flooded several months a year during rainy season, does not encourage permanent settlement, there are still many visible traces of the time before Spanish colonization at the beginning of the 16th century. Next to the "mounds," these traces include mainly causeways and canals that often lead for kilometers in a dead straight line across the savannahs.
So much for the troglodytes:

Gib back clay, dignity and livelihood back to Amazonian pipo, Jeff Bezos
Didn't they figure out these dudes were decently advanced at one point when they found a load of their fertilizing pots scattered around and figured out they actively extended the rainforest?
they didn't "extend the rainforest", it was just overgrown
rainforest soils are poor, but they found these patches of super fertile soil scattered in the amazon with a lot of artefacts like potshards in there
so it was obvious that there were people there who figured out fertilizers and artificially created this soil
and now they found out their cities
well the rainforest is good, wouldn't call it overgrown.
I remember some 10 years ago hearing the pot thing so it's fuzzy. I know they tried basing some compost toilets off the pot design.
Think I remember back in the day hearing they were pretty sure the amazonian tribes were pretty advanced at one point and just kinda fell into primitivism. Don't know how academia has changed on that. I do remember watching a documentary that was about contacting an uncontacted tribe and the tibals said they actively didn't want to be contatced because the rubber plantations were killing and enslaving people, which makes me think quite a few tribes are probably a similar situation of someone hated them so some segment, skilled or unskilled, managed to get to the jungle and ended up being a survivalist shelter situation.
Very interesting OP. Percy Fawcett was right after all.
But please take that grievance out of your ass, it's probably hurting a lot.
My pet theory is that the civilization was on its last dregs when Europeans discovered America and the plagues killed them off, modern Amazonian tribes are what survived, but who knows.
it definitely seems that several places in the americas were on a down cycle in civilization at the time of the european arrival. The mayans, the mound-builders, this group, the pueblos.
I wonder what happened to the Americas in the first half of the last millenia to cause such a decline in all those societies. Seems like some apocalyptic type of shit.
The most likely reasons are obvious: plague or ecological. The little ice age didn't start until after they began declining, though.
i guess you mean terra preta, iirc it's basically parts of the forest soil that are not regular forest soil, they are instead very fertile and quite deep, made up over several generations of people living there and adding to the soil, building it up over time. since then i think it has been assumed that there were permanent settlements in the amazon, although idk how big or how advanced they thought they were. thanks to lidar they will find out
Yes, "lost amazonian civilization(s)" has been a minority, but not fringe position for a while despite OP's hysterics.
In fact the main point of debate has been how big and advanced you have to be, to be considered a civilization. Consequently there was a fierce debate over how populated these sites were.
>So much for the primitive cavemen
why you so upset. racists don't care about amazonian natives and anthropologists think they're neat
>So much for the primitive cavemen
Whoever said they were primitive cavemen?
the voices in his head
graham hancock proven right yet again
this doesn't prove the pyramids were built with telekinesis, I don't understand why you'd rather listen to this doey eyed hack than figure out what these settlements actually were
>this doesn't prove the pyramids were built with telekinesis
not yet
is the wacko that wrote 1417?
or am I thinking of a different graham?
nevermind that's gavin menzies

Spoopy. Are you from the future, OP?
When is the world finally gonna start listening to Graham Hancock, and realize every single thing he says is the absolute, utmost truth?
WHITEBROS
I THOUGHT ONLY WE FIGURED OUT HOW TO BUILD SHIT
w-we definately got to cocky, didnt we?
>rainforest
>cavemen
Joe rogan figured this shit out years ago.
